"Nothing says spring in Boston like hot dogs, raspberry lime Rickey, and fighting off Southie seagulls at Sullivan's Castle Island, which reopens for its 75th season this Saturday. The seasonal South Boston concession stand announced its plans to reopen, as it does every year before the official start of spring, on Feb. 28."
"It appears the food that Sully's is known for - lobster rolls, ice cream, and fries that even a seagull can't seem to turn down - made its way to the Southie landmark. The Bostonians that go on their pilgrimage to Sully's opening weekend may not be convinced by this signal of springtime, given the giant piles of snow and frigid temps expected this weekend."
"Every year Sullivan's reopens usually at the end of February or start of March and closes for the winter season in November. On Saturday, doors open at 10 a.m., and the Castle Island location is open daily. The venue earned a James Beard America's Classics Award for the Northeast region last year."
Sullivan's Castle Island, a seasonal South Boston concession stand, reopens for its 75th season on February 28, marking the unofficial start of spring for Boston residents. The establishment is known for hot dogs, lobster rolls, ice cream, and fries, attracting crowds despite challenging winter conditions and aggressive seagulls. The reopening follows a major Nor'easter that dumped significant snow across New England. Sullivan's operates seasonally, typically opening in late February or early March and closing in November. The venue earned a James Beard America's Classics Award for the Northeast region last year, cementing its status as a decades-old Boston institution.
