New MAP Management concept in the works

The group behind 5Church will open Nan and Byron's this summer

MAP Management, the group that created 5Church, has plans for a new concept—and plans to open this summer in South End. The new restaurant, Nan & Byron's, will take over the former Vinnie's Sardine Grill & Raw Bar (1714 South Blvd.), which closed last month.

The restaurant will have a new look designed by Reaching Quiet Design (the same firm that designed 5Church). Look for menu items from Executive Chef Jamie Lynch to include nachos, grilled wings, sandwiches (sloppy joe, BLT, Reuben, beer battered cod), and burgers, plus entrees such as shepherd's pie, Beef Stroganoff, and roasted prime rib. Plans also include an outdoor patio.
