“It’s been a tough year, but we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel,” said Papachristos, who is also co-owner of Trade, a Boston restaurant, and Salon, in Cambridge s Harvard Square.
Papachristos said restaurant patronage should continue increase during the months ahead because people understand more about the coronavirus than they did last year.
