Description:
SOUTH END. This cafe is small on size but big on charm. The interior can be described as friendly and the home-baked goodies as delectable. You can enjoy melt-in-your-mouth pastries and oh-so-sweet cakes (try the raspberry jam one) and cookies. The menu also includes a nice selection of coffees and teas that accent the goodies perfectly. Heartier items can also be found at this South End favorite--roast chicken and beef sandwiches, soup and quiche. |

Description:
CHINATOWN. Chau Chow City is just the sort of place you'd expect to find in Chinatown, and its fine reputation is recognized by business types, in-the-know tourists, and neighborhood locals alike. The basic decor is completely overshadowed by traditional Chinese dishes of shrimp, pork, and chicken. Lobster dumplings and rice crepes packed with shrimp also draw raves. Plus, according to regulars, Chau Chow's dim sum can hold its own against anyone else's in the city. |

Description:
WATERFRONT. This contemporary waterfront space is led by the legendary Daniel Bruce, long-time chef of the Boston Harbor Hotel's Wine Festival. His courteous, well-educated staff makes earnest suggestions on everything from appetizers to selections from the wine list. The menu itself has been constructed with wine pairings in mind. On the one hand are "light whites" like pan-seared diver scallops with macomber turnip purée, and on the other are "spicy, earthy reds" like roast squab rubbed with cardamom and cumin. All menu items are available as small or large plates so, for gourmands, Meritage is one of Boston's best steals. |

Go for the classic thin crust pie and adorn it with everything from roasted eggplant, ricotta cheese and sun-dried tomatoes to prosciutto, jalapeños and crushed garlic. You will not be disappointed. Not in the mood for pizza? Then you definitely want to sample one of their homemade calzones. |

Description:
NORTH END. This lunch-only Italian eatery, located in the North End, enjoys more than its share of popularity among area business types, as the long lines will no doubt attest. Don't fret, the line moves much faster than you might expect. The reason for the restaurant's popularity is two-fold: the Italian food is tremendous, and the prices are among the most reasonable in town. Try one of their excellent calzones (the spinach is best) or, if you're really hungry, their hand-tossed pizzas which are always a winner. |

Description:
CAMBRIDGE. Chef Tony Maws started this modern bistro in 2002, and the accolades have been showering upon the place ever since. Each night, Maws & crew offer a life-altering à la carte menu that includes dishes like spice-bread-crusted wild boar chops and whole-roasted Vermont squab. The wine list, too, is sure to impress thanks to an emphasis on vineyards that tend to be overlooked by the more mainstream eateries. |
