This past weekend, Houston diners came out in droves to celebrate the closing of Damian’s Cucina Italian after 41 years in business. Over several decades, the restaurant welcomed a world of noteworthy Houstonians, such as U.S. presidents, including George. H.W. Bush, actors like Donald Sutherland and Kevin Costner, countless Astros players and coaches, and many unnamed celebrities who preferred its popular downstairs chef’s table, which offered an easy escape route through the kitchen. But much of this Midtown’s most prized clientele were its local diners, many who chose the restaurant for some of life’s biggest celebrations. At Damian’s, there were decades worth of proposals, wedding rehearsal dinners, baby showers, birthdays, pre-prom dinners, power lunches, date nights, and everything in between.

Pop-ups are crucial to Boston’s dining scene. They are temporary spaces for cooks and bartenders who might not (yet) run their own spots to try out new dishes and drinks. Or, sometimes, it can be an opportunity for industry veterans to collaborate and step outside of their usual routines to put together more experimental, one-night-only menus. In each case, it’s a fun way to foster new talent and keep thinking creatively. This periodic column highlights notable pop-ups happening in and around Boston.
