Guidebook for Boston
Food Scene
Delicious small spot very near our place! Perfect for dinner, with lots of seasonal rotating dishes. If you're here on a Tuesday night, get their fried chicken special - believe me, it's amazing. They serve beer and wine but no hard liquor.

Closest coffee shop. Coffee is great, smoothies are very healthy if you're into smoothies/juice. Some nice small snacks and lunch items, like salads, as well.

Incredible tapas spot. Very cozy, with a unique record store attached. Food is awesome! Small, so not great for a bigger group. Also, they don't take reservations for parties smaller than 4. When we go, we usually plan to arrive very early (e.g. before 6) to get a spot if we're going just the two of us. If you have a larger group, reservation is a must.

Great gastropub, with outdoor seating in the nicer months. Come here for burgers or with big groups. Very large rotating draught beer selection.
