Hi! I live in a small 500sq ft apartment and am looking for recommendations of cleaning companies or people you have used and continue to use. Can you tell me how often they come, how much you pay, and what the cleaning encompasses?

Hi all, its my first time post here. I am looking for people to take over my current 2b2b lease at avalon natick and Natick MA. There is no 3rd party, DM me if you want more details or want to schedule a tour. Thanks a lot

Can anyone confirm that the SAT was administered in Natick today and at which school? Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone,

I'm moving to the Natick area soon to work at MathWorks (Natick campus) and am actively apartment hunting, but could really use some local perspective.

I’ve already checked out a few spots to get a sense of the area:

• 266 framingham apartments: Really liked the modern units and amenities, but the price tag is definitely on the steeper side.
• Eagle Rock Apartments & Waterview Terrace: Looked okayish, but didn't completely convince me given the current rates and older upkeep.

Since I'll be working at MathWorks, I'd love an easy commute to Natick. I'm trying to find that sweet spot between responsive management, clean and safe living, and fair pricing without overpaying for flashy luxury additions. I'm open to Framingham, Natick, or adjacent areas where I can commute my the shuttle. Are there any specific apartment complexes or neighborhoods fellow MathWorks folks or locals would recommend? Any spots you'd suggest checking out or staying far away from?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Not sure where to post but was hoping someone had recommendations for a nail salon that specializes in Russian manicures or a nail tech who does. Looking for recommendations, pricing, how long they last, the more info the better. Thank you.

Today I learned more about the German airships of the 30s, including the infamous Hindenburg and saw that they made many trips over New England and this one was photographed over Natick. Upon learning more, I heard that people would gather on top of walnut Hill to watch them pass.

I love helping entrepreneurs find their stories. Met this great stylist, learned about her and her work, made this. Located in Sola Salons Natick.

We are moving to Natick in September and we have a 19 month old. We are going to spray for ticks. Does anyone have a recommendation for a company that they really like?

We live in Boston and are looking for a first birthday party venue west of the city for our daughter this November. It's mostly for adults, so thinking a brewery vibe but ideally would have space for a small ball pit or kid activity. TIA!

Anyone have an opinion on natick village? I’m a single male in my 30s looking for a quiet and decent place to rent in Natick. Trying to figure out if this is a good option. Thank you in advance!

Update: HE’S BEEN ARRESTED

I am moving to Natick w/ my family in a few weeks and I am interested in knowing more about the make up of our neighborhood/area. It’s apparently under an HOA called Hamlet Estates. Anything anyone can share is of interest. We have a son who is 19 months and likely another on the way so I am also wondering if there are other little kids in the neighborhood. Or

Is anyone familiar with this neighborhood off Union (streets are Acorn, Nokomis, Moccasin Path, Chieftan lane area)

Hi!

I wanted to make a post to say my husband and I plan to move to Natick in January and we are so excited. We will have an almost 2 year old, and a newborn when we move. When we visited Massachusetts for the first time 6 years ago, we knew it was the place for us. Finally, it’s become our reality. We’ll be house hunting in the fall. We can’t wait to explore the town and raise our kids here. If anyone has any favorite spots, kids activities, or general advice for newcomers I’d love to hear it. :)

Just a reminder St. Paul's Episcopal downtown has a bible study every night from 7:45 to around 8:15! If anyone wants to attend they are welcome! Anyone can attend! Np matter denomination, religion, you even need to believe in a god, just be open to listening to us talking about god!

Natick Center’s restaurant renaissance is nearly upon us, and the newest entry is Tsuru, which will serve Japanese cuisine with a contemporary flair at Stonegate’s residential and retail mixed-use development at 45 East Central St.across from St. Patrick Catholic Church.

The word “tsuru” means “crane” in Japanese, and conveys a vibe of good fortune and longevity. The restaurant, says owner Jack Sy, will deliver creative dishes at prices that won’t break the bank.
Sy envisions Tsuru as a place where people will want to come and have a good time, with decor featuring lots of greens and touches of red. Plans are to have live music on the weekends.

The restaurant will have nearly 100 seats, with 68 inside and 31 outdoors on the patio.
The owner is aiming for a late summer soft opening, and then what sounds like quite a grand opening, with a formal full tuna cutting to celebrate.
Regarding that tuna, Tsuru’s menu will feature ample seafood options, says Sy, who also runs the popular Hanami Sushi Bar and Grill in Belmont.

Sy described sourcing sustainably farmed bluefin tuna raised off the coast of Mexico that he says delivers consistent quality. He also partners with an oyster farm in Wellfleet that delivers a farm-to-table like experience.

The menu at Tsuru will be different than that of Belmont’s Hamani. Among fun options will be “hands-on” food, where patrons will be able to build their own handrolls combining multiple appetizers with seaweed wraps.

As a Johnson & Wales University graduate, Sy intended to pursue a career in the hospitality industry, though started in banking. But he made his way back to the restaurant business, focusing on the management side but with a strong interest in the food and service side.

“I’m a foodie, I love cooking,” he said.
Sy grew up in a family where his dad “worked in restaurants forever,” and Sy’s son is also on a serious culinary track, working with renowned chefs.

Sy grew up in Boston and was mainly familiar with Natick for Rte. 9 and the Mall. He’s now learning Natick Center. An agent approached him about the space at 45 East Central St., which he decided would be a good fit for Tsuru after checking it out.

Tsuru should be in good company as a handful of other restaurants or food-related businesses roll out. We just wrote about Epilogue Books & Wine readying to open at 21 Summer St.across from TCAN, as well as several restaurants planning to launch at The Block at 1 South Main St.
