Wellesley business buzz: black & blue has new events space; Boston Sports Medical Center opens at 900 Worcester; how to toss your tree

December 16, 2025 by Deborah Brown

The latest Wellesley, Mass., business buzz

black & Blue Steak and Crab opens new events space

black & blue Wellesley has a fabulous new warm and sophisticated event space, perfect for intimate celebrations, business gatherings, and special occasions. The Club Room is a spacious private dining room accommodates up to 40 guests and sits adjacent to black & blue’s impressive wine wall.

The Board Room can hold 14 guests for a sit-down meal, and has a high-definition television with PC connectivity and high-speed wireless internet access. (We’re guessing most will attend in-person for these meetings.)

There are three private events menus, which offer options for meat eaters, seafood lovers, and vegetarians. Main dish choices include filet mignon (of course), salmon or scallops; and chicken, pasta, and more. The prix fixe menu includes an appetizer platter, salad, and dessert.

Boston Sports Medical Center opens at 900 Worcester

The BMC Health Sports Medicine Center is now seeing patients at the Boston Sports Institute,  900 Worcester St., (route 9, eastbound side). The practice provides tailored care for sports-related injuries and musculoskeletal conditions. BMC also provides regenerative medicine options, ultrasound guided treatments, concussion evaluations, and walk-in times on Mondays for weekend sports injuries. Whether you’re a high school athlete, a casual exerciser, or a professional athlete, the BMC doctors can help you get back to play, back to school, or back to work.

Beyond Wellesley—Debsan in Natick Center on the market

For almost 80 years, the Greenberg family has been instrumental in steering homeowners, decorators, landlords, and contractors to the perfect decor decisions. Paint, wallpaper, window treatments, carpeting, flooring, upholstery—if Debsan didn’t have it, your house didn’t need it.

That full-service experience under the present owner comes to an end next month, when Ben Greenberg leaves the business to pursue a well-earned retirement. All is not lost, however, as we hear that Debsan may continue with a new owner.

Entrepreneurial Christmas spirit

SPONSORED CONTENT—Such a great tradition, bringing a live tree into the house every holiday season. But after the presents have been opened, and that balsam aroma has faded, we start looking side-eye at the beloved symbol of tradition. Time for that tree to go. For those who don’t want to find pine needles of Christmas past in their car for months, WHS graduate Derek Chalmers will pick yours up for a $20 fee. Derek’s got his system down to a science. He picks up when he says he will, brings the tree for recycling, and it’s see you next year. Schedule your pick-up here.
