Charlestown bakery to expand to the other side of the harbor

Sorelle Bakery and Cafe wants to open a location at 282 Congress St. near South Station.

Owner Marc Perelman told the Boston Licensing Board yesterday he's planning something very similar to his Charlestown location, with 16 seats inside and 14 seats outdoors, with hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The board voted today to give Perelman a food-serving license. He needs permission from the city Public Improvement Commission to install the outdoor seating on a city sidewalk.
