Church Boston

Stop by for a dinner of Maine crab cakes or baked mac ’n’ cheese, then move over to the club to catch a set from the live bands that play each week.

Cambridge, 1 Boston

In brief: The pizza here rules. Each is long and flat except for a pile of fresh toppings that range from simple (tossed baby arugula, fontina, and Parmesan; Italian sausage, ricotta, and tomato) to the simply sublime (Maine lobster, corn, scallion, and cilantro oil; hot cherry peppers, Black Forest ham, and manchego).

Uburger Boston

Boston’s long-overdue answer to West Coast cult fave In-N-Out. Carnivores rejoice in made-to-order, freshly ground (yes, in-house) burgers. Specialties include the Boom Burger — dripping with chipotle sauce, cheddar, and fried jalapenos. There are also hand-cut fries, all-beef Kayem hot dogs, and specialty drinks.

De Cuzine Boston

Hate cooking? Get Diego Salgado to do it for you. He picks up your groceries and tosses together meals that sing. To wit: chicken in mango and pepper brunoise, fried plantains, and seafood ceviche. He does it all at reasonable prices (starting at $150 per week plus the cost of groceries) and from your own kitchen.

Petit Robert Bistro Boston

A bistro so authentic you’ll think you’re in Paris. Well, petit Robert does have a few American notes (most obviously in the form of the “burgerdogs”). Yet the food — roasted organic chicken, house-made pâté, lobster bisque — is fresh and delish and the prices (in the tradition of real French bistros where diners can afford to eat everyday) are reasonable.
