Now that the Art Boutiki has finally set up shop in its new 44 Race Street location, it is already busy establishing new traditions. For starters, Art Boutiki wants to do its own version of First Fridays over on The Alameda-but on the fourth Friday of the month. It is being called Midtown Beat. The place will stay open late, encouraging other businesses in the area to do the same (so far the Arsenal and Current Tattooing are on board) and bringing live jazz to the store. Grooveyard Shift is scheduled to play this Friday. This local group plays a nice blend of traditional jazz, Brazilian music and funk, most of which are originals.
