Parish cafe is located on Boylston street close to the park. It is known as a sandwich cafe that serves drinks. Their chef has collected recepies from the best chefs in the city and created a sandwich with their name. It is also known as a fun spot to go for a drink after work. I definitely recommend it.

Not really a recommendation but I thought i'd share my thoughts.
I hate legal seafoods. It's bad and overpriced. YES it's a Boston landmark and a tourist destination but those of us who have lived in Boston for long enough know that legal seafoods is no great restaurant.
Their main course plates range from 20-40 dollars.
If you want to check out their menu go to:http://shop.legalseafoods.com/?source=google&page=homepage/pd/1
but I would not recommend going to the restaurant.

As most of us begin taking higher level courses, we find ourselves leaving school later in the day. It specially bugs me when I have class until 9:30 and all the food places at school are closed.
For those of you who feel the same way, I recommend trying out Cambridge1 pizza in trilogy. It's close to school, its pretty cheap and its a nice place to sit with your friends after class.
Their menu includes oven baked pizzas, pasta and salads.
Check out their menu.

Boston is full of innovative restaurants with fresh ideas for fun dining experiences.
Match, located in the corner between Newbury Street and Mass Ave, is a lounge/restaurant/bar that is known for its mini burgers and martinis.
By mini burgers I mean, lobster, cheeseburger, chicken burgers among others. Their martinis include everything from dirty martinis to fruit martinis, and other fusions.
The restaurant has an interesting concept and you should try it out with your friends either for dinner or just drinks.

I'm feeling like a burger, fries and a huge coke today. I know UBurger has the best chipotle cheeseburger in town. Any other suggestions?

I recently got back from Mexico where I enjoyed a week by the beach in a hotel that served a good variety of sushi rolls and sashimi. Knowing what a huge sushi fan I am you would understand why I had such a great time.
Now that I'm back in Boston, all I can think of is Summer coming up and my FAVORITE restaurant of all times.
It is located inside the Intercontinental Hotel by the waterfront.
Sushi Teq is new concept that combines sushi with all types of margaritas and latin drinks. Everything from jalapeño margaritas to mojitos and piña coladas.
But the best part is its location and the restaurants atmosphere. As the weather gets warmer, the hotel opens up its outside seating that involves a round circle of sofas were people sit outside by the water and eat sushi. This restaurant/lounge is a great place to go with your friends for drinks or just food. If you're in Boston for the summer you MUST try it out.

Lately,
I've been trying to escape the cold weather and at the same time run errands and have fun around the city. I'm sick of starbucks and dunkin donuts which, in my opinion have TERRIBLE coffee.
But what better than Italian espresso or a latte with hazelnut syrup to warm you up. Even better paired with a slice of chocolate ganache cake.
L'Aroma cafe located near the beginning of Newbury street is the cutest Italian coffee shop.
I think you should all try it out!

Anyone who has ever been to Spain knows dining is an event. A colorful arrangement of small plates full of delicious, spicy and attractive food. Their seasoning is what makes them so famous. They are usually strongly flavored with garlic, chiles, paprika, salt, pepper, saffron and olive oil.
TAPAS, also called appetizers, is a concept that originated in Spain. Commonly, Spanish restaurants serve cold and hot Tapas which are separately listed on the menu.
Cold tapas include: cheeses, cured ham, olives, sardines, among others.
Hot tapas include: squid, sausages, steak, potatoes, paella among others.
Originally, people in Spain to eat tapas as appetizers before their main meal. Many times, people go bar hopping and try tapas in different places while having a glass of wine or sangria. In other parts of the world, the concept tapas has become synonym for Spanish meal.
Regardless, the flavorful petite dishes should be sampled.
Boston offers various tapas restaurants some of which have bec ... more »

I know this might seem a bit overdue since Valentines was a few days ago but last week I had dinner at a really nice restaurant I thought would be a great place to go on a date or just with friends.
Teatro (theater in spanish), is located in the theater district on Tremont street right next to the AMC lowes theater is a small, cozy restaurant with dimmed lights and great food. The restaurants ceiling resembles the baroque style cieling of a elegant theater.
Their menu focuses on northern italian food, serving everything from great pasta and pizza to elaborated steak and veal dishes.
The Chef and owner, Jamie Mammano, also own Mistral, a high end restaurant in the South End known for is good but very expensive food.
Although the place is not cheap, a 15-20$ entree is a good deal for their amazing food and ambiance.
Although Valentines is a great time to meet friends and dine out, any day is a good day to meet friends in Teatro.

French food can be described as very peculiar and unique. Frog's legs, snails, pate, and a variety of cheeses are among the most popular dishes.
You might not believe it but Boston offers a number of great French restaurants. However, most of them seem to be hidden in every corner of the city.
Knows as "Brasseries" (meaning a cafe serving food as a restaurant in French) these restaurants offer a relaxed setting of good food and drinks.
If you have had French food before, you know it is eccentric but delicious. If you haven't, you must try it!
Here are some of my favorites in Boston:
Brasserie Jo in the Colonnade hotel in Huntington has the best Baguette bread and great escargots. ooo and great mimosas as well-orange juice and champagne :) http://www.boucheebrasserie.com/
Bouchee restaurant on Newbury street is another good brasserie for a lower price. They have a great nicoise salad, which has green beans, seared tuna, hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, onions and potatoes. They also have ... more »
