Fire on corner of Kilmarnock and Peterborough Streets Closes 6 Restaurants

An early morning fire on January 6, 2009 destroyed a diverse group of 6 restaurants a few blocks from Fenway Park that fans often used to congregate before and after games. The restaurants, which were all located side by side in a quiet residential neighborhood, included: Sorento's Italian Gourmet, Umi Japanese Cuisine and Sushi Bar, El Pelon Taqueria, Greek Isles, Roddee 2 Thai Cuisine, and Thornton's Fenway Grille.
