A non-profit organization is helping revitalize neighborhoods in Boston and preserving the city's past. Their work includes a popular restaurant that was once a streetcar "comfort station" more than 100 years ago.

It's hard to imagine, but Dorchester was once considered an agricultural retreat from Boston. In the 1800s it was transformed as a "streetcar suburb" with several lines carrying people to and from the heart of the city. Now it's a bustling, vibrant neighborhood that's reimagining itself while staying rooted in the past.

There's no better example of this than the Comfort Kitchen restaurant.

"We offer global comfort food. We focus on spice trade, all the migration stories that has touched around the world," said Biplaw Rai, who co-owns the award-winning restaurant.
