New Concepts Revolutionize Dining at the BCEC

Levy Restaurants, the exclusive food and beverage provider for the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, is thrilled to announce the opening of two innovative dining options: Market on Summer and Unconventional Café. These attractive new additions enhance the culinary experience for all visitors, offering convenience, variety, and quality.

Market on Summer

Market on Summer revolutionizes the way we grab a quick bite. The “Frictionless Market” uses cutting-edge Amazon Go technology, making it both cashless and cashier-less. Offering 24-hour operation, simply scan your credit card, take the items you want, and leave. Cameras and scales track what you take, ensuring a smooth and efficient process.
