FENWAY—Wahlburgers, a Hingham burger-focused restaurant owned by the famous Wahlberg clan and the subject of a reality television show, has finally managed to nail down a lease for a location in Boston proper. It'll open by the end of year. There are also locations slated for Lynnfield, Massachusetts and Toronto, plus five in the Philadelphia area.

LEATHER DISTRICT—In other expansion news, O Ya is reportedly expanding to New York City. The Cushmans have confirmed that they're opening a rooftop bar called Roof at the Park South Hotel, but various sources say that they're actually opening two bars and two restaurants in the hotel, one of which will be O Ya. No. 9 Park alum Ted Kilpatrick is working on the bar project(s).
