Boston's City Hall Plaza, usually a barren windswept expanse in the colder months, is poised to become a winter wonderland with an Olympic-sized ice skating rink and a large glass restaurant and lounge overlooking it.
"Winter's Landing" is slated to open on the red-brick plaza with the "Frozen Harbor" skating rink and the 20,000-square-foot "Polar Bar," according to a Craigslist help-wanted ad and a Winter's Landing Facebook page.
"Winter's Landing transforms City Hall Plaza into the centerpiece for autumn and winter public gatherings and events," the help-wanted ad states.
The two-story, full- service Polar Bar restaurant and lounge would have 46-foot ceilings and 360-degree glass walls. It would be open seven days a week, serving a contemporary menu for brunch, lunch, dinner and late-night noshing, according to the ad seeking bartenders, line cooks and other workers for immediate hire. Additional satellite concessions would be located throughout the venue.
A spokeswoman for Mayor Martin J. Walsh declined to disclose details about the project yesterday.
"Mayor Walsh has consistently spoken about exploring creative ways to activate the space in City Hall Plaza," spokeswoman Kate Norton said. "We don't have any news to report specifically about an ice rink, but we will share information as it is available."
Permits have yet to be issued for the proposed project.
Anthem Entertainment, a Boston company that runs the New England Dessert Showcase and multi-city Anthem International Music Festival, among other events, is in line to run Winter's Landing for the city. Corporate partners, including a presenting sponsor, have been lined up, according to Winter's Landing Facebook page.
Anthem is hosting a Dec. 5 open house for prospective employees. CEO Chris Sinclair could not be reached for comment.
A full calendar of programming and events is planned for Winter's Landing, as well as future additions for following winters.
Since taking office, Walsh has sought to find attractions for City Hall Plaza, where events this year included a Donna Summer roller disco tribute party, World Cup broadcasts and the Downtown Throwdown snowboarding event. Walsh also has expanded City Hall Plaza's mobile food truck program through the winter.
