Townsend's Boston

At Townsend’s, a contemporary American spot, the belief is that the food should match in caliber to beer and wine (amen to that). To wit: a huge international selection of the bubbly soda that makes you feel good (if you can’t pick, get the four-glass sampler) and fare like mussels, shepherd’s pie, and pork steak with sweet pea risotto to go with.

Ever So Humble Pie Co Boston

Get pied with these made-from-scratch lovelies that are whipped up by hand. (The proof: Each bears the thumbprint of the person who made it.) They ooze juicy, classic flavors, like strawberry rhubarb, wild blueberry, and New England apple. Buy them frozen and reheat for a delish treat.

Vicki Lee's Bakeshop Boston

Push past the bright yellow awning and into a sleek, mod space to find homemade cookies, tarts, and cakes. On the salty side, takeout specials like Trapelo slaw (fennel, lime juice, and jalapenos), gourmet soups, plus any of the green, grain, and pasta salads.
