Abby Park Boston

Dig into a lobster medallion salad, seared coho salmon, or double-cut pork chop at the fancy out-of-town spot featuring local produce and fresh New England seafood. Abby Park is the one of the first local restos with a full bar. We’re just sayin’.

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.

Feast on rich entrees, fun desserts (Zebra cake), or treats at Afternoon Tea in the downstairs Monday Club Bar. Upstairs in the Soiree Dining Room, experience the highbrow tasting menus (with vegetarian options).

Swans Cafe Boston

Located in The Boston Park Plaza Hotel, the cafe gives off old-world grandeur through traditional New England dishes of clam chowder, crab cakes, and steak sandwiches. If you’re looking for elegance, go for the afternoon tea or just claim a spot at the bar for martinis.
