Locke-Ober Boston

One of Boston’s oldest restos. The dark wood walls, men’s club vibe, and menu of decadent New England fare make this a go-to spot.

Mike's City Diner Boston

Belly up to the bar at the old-school diner and load up on classic eggs (any way you like ’em) and hash, Belgian waffles with all the fixins, or a Southender omelet. There are soups and sandwiches, too, if it’s lunch you’re after.

The Plough & Stars Boston

A Cambridge institution of live bands and fresh Guinness hasn’t gone all hoity-toity; it just has a new menu. Dinner will now be served nightly (except Sundays), and you may find yourself fending off forks for pan-seared striped bass or a sinful pressed Cuban sandwich — a fresh roll loaded with smoked ham, roasted pork, Gruyere, pickles, and smoked pepper aioli.
