A square in Boston’s North End has been named for Regina Pizzeria, an iconic pie palace that’s anchored the culinary mecca for a century. “It’s official! Regina Pizzeria Square has arrived in the North End!” the pizzeria posted to IG on Monday, next to a photo of a smiling Mayor Michelle Wu and owners standing beneath an official blue street sign bearing the name of Regina Pizzeria Square in the traditionally Italian-American stronghold. “Thank you to Mayor Wu, the City of Boston and Saint Anthony’s Society for making our hundredth anniversary celebration so special!,” said the IG posting, which also tagged Wu, the city, the feast, and state Representative Aaron Michlewitz, chair of the powerful House budget writing committee who represents the neighborhood and who also appears in the photo. If you’ve never scarfed a Regina slice, you’re missing out, according to a recent dispatch from Globe restaurant critic Devra First. “You know it, you love it, you stand in line for it,” First wrote earlier this month of Regina, located at 11½ Thacher St. “The famed North End pizzeria has been producing brick-oven pies since 1926.

Casino revenues were down slightly more than 20 percent in September at Encore Boston Harbor, as gamblers shied away from the resort amid an ongoing strike by its workers. The year-over-year decline is the first concrete indication that the labor dispute — now approaching its second full month — is affecting Encore’s business. Picketing workers have been stationed around the clock outside of the facility throughout the strike, which has driven off some potential patrons. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission’s monthly casino revenue reports show that the casino’s gross revenue from table and slot games was $46.1 million, a a roughly 22 percent decrease from last year. The slowdown at the state’s largest casino will also be felt on Beacon Hill. The state’s cut of revenue from the Everett casino was $11.5 million in September, down from $14.8 million a year earlier.

MGM Springfield pulled in slightly less this September, with $22 million in revenue, and Plainridge Park Casino brought in slightly more than last September, with $14.6 million.
