Jordan Knight Backing New East Milton Restaurant

MILTON, MA - A new restaurant is coming to Milton with the backing of one of Boston’s most well know musicians.

New Kids on the Block singer Jordan Knight recently discussed his investment in Novara with the Boston Herald, who thinks that the new eatery has the right stuff.

“I feel like this restaurant is going to put (East Milton) over the top and become a scene,” Knight told the paper.

An Italian restaurant, Novara is the newest project from the Abby Park team. The menu will feature modern interpretations of pan-­regional Italian comfort food classics with local New England accents.

Knight is the second New Kid to enter the restaurant industry. Bandmate Donny Wahlberg and his family operate Wahlburgers.

Novara opens to the public Thursday.
