FP3 and the Fort Point neighborhood are receiving national attention!

Check out the travel story by John King that appears in the San Francisco Chronicle….looks like the writer is smitten with the Fort Point area and its many attractions….

… “Another new/old frontier lies south of the Financial District, in the warehouses that once stored wool along Fort Point Channel. The best way to enter is on foot, across the wide dark waterway via the Summer Street Bridge. Once you cross, plunge down quiet Melcher Street. It’s a deep chasm of steep masonry: loading blocks and red brick on your left, generous windows and yellow brick on your right.

Another sort of view is available nearby on Farnsworth Street from the spacious concrete porch of Flour Bakery and Cafe. Across the way is Hacin + Associates’ FP3 – five stories of dark new brick topped by three stories of copper-clad penthouses, angled and attractively stark.”

… “This is the best of the new Boston: informed by history but adding to it with intelligent restraint.“

If you haven’t gotten the chance to attend a Roof Top Yoga session at FP3, you still have a chance!  FP3 will be offering up one of our Penthouse suites with gorgeous terrace views of the city skyline for another Roof Top Yoga session sponsored by Plank Yoga Accessories and taught by South Boston Yoga Studio again soon!  Keep checking our blog or find us on Facebook to stay updated!

Fp3 is proud to be home the 3 of celebrity chef Barbara Lynch’s culinary creations; Drink, Sportello, and Menton.  Each space offers visitors a unique atmosphere, exquisite food, and unparalleled service (did we mention FP3 residents get special treatment?).

Public Radio Kitchen recently featured an interview with (and a delicious cocktail recipe by) Drink’s cocktail master, John Gertsen, as part of PKR’s ‘Meet Your Bartender Series‘.  The author notes that John has been mentioned and admired by all the previous local bartenders featured in the series thus far- a testament to his amazing talents and hospitable personality.

“John Gertsen is one of Boston’s most respected and talented bartenders.  For six years, he manned the bar at No. 9 Park, developing a reputation not only as a supremely inventive mixologist, but also as an expert on the history of cocktails, particularly drinks from the 19th and early 20th centuries.  Then, two years ago, with chef Barbara Lynch, Gertsen helped found Drink in Fort Point.  The bar quickly established itself as one of the finest and most original in the city, if not the country.”

Read the Full Interview and get John’s spin on a Sazerac, a classic New Orleans cocktail recipe he considers the one drink he’d choose as his ‘desert island’ drink, if he could only pick one favorite.  Try the recipe at home, or stop into Drink at FP3 next time you’re in the Fort Point area and ask John to make one for you!

Just think, if you lived in one of the luxury condos at FP3, you wouldn’t have to drive home after a night at Drink, and you could try a new creation by John every week!

Back by popular demand!

Vicky Tomayko is the latest artist to be featured in the art gallery at FP3.  Her collection of creatures will be on display and free for the public to view during regular business hours until October 9, 2010.  Some of Vicky’s work appeared in today’s Boston Globe.

Vicky’s art was reviewed by Cate McQuiad for the article.  In it, Cate notes:

“Her monotypes of monstrous creatures at FP3 are both comic and melancholy, and she has a vibrant color sense. Look at the drypoint monotype “St. John the Baptist as an Artist.’’ The squishy figure is, of course, headless, and he grips to his chest a pink, heart-shaped critter with one eye on a stalk and a protruding, forked tongue. The suggestion is that this artistic St. John speaks from his heart, but even when the heart speaks, you can’t entirely trust what it says.”

To see more of Vicky’s colorful, sometime whimsical and sometimes melancholy works, stop by the FP3 Gallery or visit the Vicky Tomayko website.

The gallery at FP3 is currently featuring art created by Detroit-born, Cape Cod-based artist, Vicky Tomayko.  FP3 is proud to be hosting Vicky’s first-ever solo art show in Boston.

Stuff tonight notes that Vicky “takes inspiration from nature but imbues her landscapes with wit and weirdness, creating narrative worlds full of whimsical creatures — watchful forests, chubby antenna-eyed bipeds, friendly amoebas. Much of her recent work incorporates multiple printing techniques and focuses on liquid spaces.”

Don’t worry if you missed the Opening Reception on August 12th- her work will be on display in the FP3 Lobby/ Gallery space until October 9th!

Get in touch with your inner Matisse at a salon?

Art Salons, prominent a century ago in Paris, are making a comeback in Boston at FP3!

In a stunning penthouse overlooking Fort Point Channel, Rita Fucillo, associate publisher of Art New England, is uniting tastemakers in art, fashion, and music to engage and be merry.  “I’ve been desperate to do this,’’ said Fucillo, who has filled a pair of vacant condominiums at posh complex FP3 with local art work. Salons start up next month. Visit www.bostonguide.com and www.artnewengland.com for more details.

(styleboston) – Get Plugged In to Fort Point Channel, former industrial hub, now, home to much of Boston’s artist community. Tony Corey chats with Joanne Chang, the mastermind behind Flour Bakery + Café, the newest of which just opened in Cambridge. When Joanne Chang came to Fort Point they thought she was crazy. Now, Fort Point Channel is a creative, vibrant neighborhood, so close to downtown crossing, that on any given day it’s all abuzz.

Joanne Chang, owner of Flour Bakery

Chang isn’t the only one who’s made her home there. Barbara Lynch’s food empire is based in Fort Point, Thompson Reuters spans an entire street and, of course, ADD Inc and Rue La La brighten the skyline.

What’s most compelling about living or working in Fort Point? According to ADD Inc.’s Fred Kramer – the people. He said, on any given day, walking down the street, you’re likely to bump into another creative soul, someone who’s young, up and coming, and part of the movement. When you walk down the street in Fort Point, you mingle with artists, designers, green urban planners and a whole lot of intellectuals.

If that doesn’t get you down to Fort Point, Joanne Chang’s cupcakes will! Not only do they “taste like air” according to Tony, but most of them are Vegan! Just like the neighborhood’s credo – there’s a little bit of something for everyone.
