Parking and construction fuel frustration in New Bedford | Exclusive

NEW BEDFORD — Downtown New Bedford business owners say continued construction, detours and parking difficulties are making it harder to attract customers and keep their businesses profitable. For some, the closure of longtime restaurant Whaler’s Tavern has sharpened concerns about their own future. “It was difficult for locals to get to us. Never mind someone who is a tourist who’s not familiar,” said Kristen Brito. She worked at the tavern for nearly a decade before receiving the news in a text that they would be closing. “We had our customers, we had our regulars. We had our people that are feeling really sad about this,” she said. More: New Bedford Whaling Museum shares expansion plans for summer 2027 Brito believes construction for the New Bedford Whaling Museum expansion on North Water Street contributed significantly to the tavern’s difficulties. She said it wasn’t its sole cause, but the street was closed for 10 weeks during peak tourist season, making the restaurant harder to reach for both regular customers and visitors. “Construction killed the foot traffic and the road traffic,” she said. Visitors coming from the Whaling Museum also faced longer walks around closures, she said, creating a particular challenge for older

Former O Gil restaurant spot in Fall River up for grabs | Exclusive

A well-known Fall River restaurant spot is gearing up for another new chapter. Just over nine months after Sosabi Restaurant and Bar opened at 915 County St., taking over the space that served as longtime home of Portuguese food fixture O Gil, that space is now up for lease. North South Property Management posted Nov. 10 that a “fully operational, turnkey restaurant space” on County Street is “ready for its next owner/operator.” Kristin Teves, owner of North South Property Management, who has managed the property for over 20 years, told The Herald News that Sosabi restaurant has been closed for three to four months after it “failed miserably.” That included contending with noise ordinance violations , before the business was eventually evicted for nonpayment, she said. The fully-equipped restaurant space, which accommodates 200 people and is located on the ground floor of the three-story County Street building, is available for lease for $3,000 a month. “Ideal for an experienced restaurateur, hospitality group, or entrepreneur looking to open a restaurant without starting from scratch,” reads the post.

Old Rochester eyes 'revenge' against Hudson in Div. 6 playoffs

The ‘Revenge Tour’ continues for the Old Rochester football team as the No. 7 Bulldogs (8-1) will take on second-seeded Hudson (9-0) in the MIAA Div. 6 state quarterfinals at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 12. The Hawks knocked Old Rochester out of the tournament last year with a 34-7 win. In 2025, Old Rochester lost its first four games before making a run to qualify for the playoffs and reach the Elite 8. This year, the Bulldogs went 7-1 during the regular season and have beaten three teams they lost to a year ago. Hudson could be the fourth. “Last year when we played them, they were better than us,” said Old Rochester head coach Bryce Guilbeault of the Hawks. “I told the kids that yesterday. They were better than us, but we’re a year older, a year more experienced and we’ve gotten better every week. We’re excited.” Junior Benji Baptiste has been impressive this fall for Old Rochester with more than 1,600 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns, which ranks second on the SouthCoast. The Hawks counter with senior quarterback Logan Dome and senior running back JT Torres. “Their quarterback is really good,” Guilbeault said. “He is their guy.”
