Boston Pop-Up To Bring Flavors Of Dubai To The Bay State: MA Food Week

MASSACHUSETTS — Welcome to Patch's weekly round up of food and restaurant news in Massachusetts, where we review openings, closings and more in the state's dining scene.

We learned this week that a local restaurant will turn its space into a trip to Dubai early next week.

On Aug. 26, Kaia, 370 Harrison Ave., Boston, will host an exclusive one-night collaboration with the Sexy Fish restaurants from Dubai and Miami.

From 8 to 11 p.m., Sexy Fish will conduct a full cocktail takeover, with every drink crafted by Sexy Fish’s own Patrick (Dubai) and Ezequiel (Miami), using premium Heaven Hill spirits. The night’s soundtrack will be provided by Audioprophecy.

"This special event merges Kaia’s Aegean allure with Sexy Fish’s signature glamour, creating a luxe, nightlife-driven experience unlike anything else in Boston this summer," officials said.
