Restaurant · South End
Bar Vlaha
Rustic Greek cooking built around the nomadic Vlach people's mountain traditions — fried oyster mushrooms, sourdough you'll want to take home, and big beautiful roasts around a communal table facing…
Café · Cambridge (near Mount Auburn Cemetery)
Sofra Bakery & Cafe
Acclaimed pastry chef Maura Kilpatrick's Middle Eastern bakery, turning tahini-brown butter doughnuts, chocolate hazelnut baklava, and za'atar flatbreads into a cult morning ritual.
Landmark · Back Bay (Christian Science Plaza)
Mapparium
A walk-inside, three-story stained-glass globe built in 1935 — the world's only inside-out map, where sound behaves so strangely you can whisper across it.
Bar · Downtown Crossing / South End
JJ Foley's Bar & Grille
A family-run Irish pub operating since 1909 — one of Boston's oldest continually open bars, drawing a genuinely mixed crowd from suited office workers to bike messengers at fair prices.
Café · Inman Square / Central Square, Cambridge
1369 Coffee House
A near-30-year Cambridge institution spread across two art-filled rooms — house-made chai, a frozen mocha slide, and the kind of worn-in neighbourhood warmth chains can't manufacture.
