Malden Reads is excited to announce the third edition of the Malden Eats Community Dining series.  We invite you to share a convivial meal, at the same time exploring themes related this year’s Malden Reads selection, “Mr. Penumbra’s 24-hour Bookstore” by Robin Sloan. 
You do not need to have read the book to attend.

On Tuesday, March 31 at 7 p.m., join fellow Maldonians for an evening of fresh American comfort food served in a warm and welcoming atmosphere located at 139 Pleasant St. in Malden.

According to a recent Phantom Gourmet segment, Mystic Station is a “neighborhood spot that’s part casual dining and part local watering hole.”

20150320_155316Bryan and Nicole Palazzalo, one of two husband-wife teams featured in this year’s Malden Eats Community Dining series (the other is Jason and Shannon Ladd from Ferry Street Food & Drink), opened Mystic Station in Malden Square last April. Bryan runs the front of the restaurant while Nicole, known for her tasty Buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwich, manages the kitchen.

Prepared especially for Malden Eats Community Dining series by Chef Palazzalo, the menu for the Tuesday, March 31 dinner includes three appetizer options (arancini of the day, spring spinach salad or clam chowder), three amazing entrees (salmon vera cruz, pasta Piacenza or steak tips) and two dessert options (banana coconut cream pie or tiramisu).

Community Dinner participants will be supplied with “Table Talk” cards to enhance and stimulate discussion at their tables while they are enjoying dinner. Topics are related to the themes of this year’s Malden Reads book selections.

Space is limited, so reservations with the restaurant are required.  Call 781-480-3166 by Sunday, March 29 to make your reservation.  Be sure to specify that you are with the Malden Reads dinner.  Those unable to honor their reservations are asked to cancel so the next person on the list can attend.  The meal will cost $20 not including tax, tip and beverage.

In May 2020, Malden Reads planned to host the Malden Mass. Memories Road Show (MMRS), a statewide, event-based participatory archiving program that documents people, places, and events in Massachusetts history through family photographs and stories stored in a digital archive at openarchives.umb.edu.  Due to the pandemic, the in-person event could not be held. This summer the MMRS team invited anyone with a connection to Malden to contribute photographs and stories online as part of the Malden Mass. Memories Stuck-at-Home Show.

Gutierrez The physical places in Malden hold so many memories to its residents. However, over time, hometowns evolve—places that Maldonians frequented as a child or as a young adult are no longer there. There is no longer a physical place to attach a memory to. It is important to remember and record what is gone, or else an important piece of history is lost. Linda Zalk (formerly Linda Mazonson) may know this […]
