Niche Hospitality Group "About Us"
What started out as a dream was in fact all about us. We dreamt of opening what became Block 5 and oozed creativity. We had so many ideas we couldn’t possibly fit them into the four walls at 139 Green Street. The response was overwhelming and we quickly used our energy to launch Worcester's first authentic Spanish Tapas and Wine Bar. This time it was us who were overwhelmed! What were we thinking? Soon after the dust settled opportunity knocked once again. We now had the chance to join the eateries on Worcester’s Restaurant Row. Southwestern-Mexican-Tequila on Shrewsbury Street seemed so right to add to Worcester’s burgeoning restaurant portfolio. Next came The Citizen at One Exchange Place to add to Worcester's changing downtown landscape. Wine, Cheese and Chocolate in a historical building smack dab next to the DCU and courthouse adds a pulse to after work and a treat throughout the night to Commercial Street. Growth at Exchange Place led to the opening of The People's Kitchen above The Citizen with a "home cooked meal" approach from our chef's that is all about sourcing the best products, handling them with respect and delivering a refined plate that is still approachable and affordable. We round out the concepts at the "NicheXchange" property with Still&Stir, a professional cocktail bar showcasing our passion for quality spirits and the art of bartending. What started out as a dream has become a surreal reality! As we developed we went from opening a restaurant to launching a hospitality group. Along the way we have learned something very quickly, it is not about us, it is about you. The enjoyment we get from our guests experience has been far more satisfying than just the realization of a dream. Hospitality to our entire team, to our guests, our vendors and our community has become paramount. Though we are not the first group to operate in this model we believe it shapes our restaurants and gives them an identity and personality that is worth remembering.
