Berklee's new cafe is underway. Here is some Globe coverage of it. No alchohol. Local talent, emerging Berklee types and some touring acts are said to be on the menu in the long run. Cafe 939 is about Tuesday's and Thursday's in the afternoon for now, but in April Cafe 939 will add nights to the mix.
On the face of it, this looks like a bid to attract the under 21 crowd (who need activities now that Landsdowne Street is no longer an option, though they could always come to, say Jordan Hall for music) and a shot at showcasing some of the fine young talents lurking behind Berklee's walls. Nice idea, Berklee.
