Boston, MA 02446-2071

Do not turn away from the long line at this popular taqueria; the quick and efficient staff keeps things moving right along.

Coolidge Corner Clubhouse


Sports bar with good food
307A-309 Harvard Street
Between Babcock & Beacon Streets
Boston, MA 02146
United States
+1 617 566 4948
This popular sports bar has plenty of TVs and a collection of baseball cards at the bar, but the menu sets it apart from other sports bars. Try the Larry Bird sandwich (ham, turkey and Swiss cheese), the Bill Lee burger (topped with sauerkraut, Russian dressing and Swiss cheese) or any of the several salads, burgers, club rollups and chicken sandwiches named after sports figures. Down it all with one of the three dozen draught beers and while you watch the game. There is free parking behind restaurant.

Grille Zone


Green Burgers
1022 Commonwealth Avenue
Boston, MA 02215
United States
+1 617 566 9663
http://grillezone.com/
A restaurant where the food is fast and the waste decomposes within 90 days? It sounds too good to be true, but the Grille Zone has accomplished just this and has set zero waste as a production goal. And they are well on their way, with energy efficient equipment and a partnership with the Green Restaurant Association. However, the focus on the environment does not detract from the food: the burgers are juicy, the fries are crispy, and the milkshakes are creamy. Leave with a full stomach and a clear conscience.

Mr. Sushi


Traditional Japanese and Korean cuisine
329 Harvard Street
Boston, MA 02446-2907
United States
+1 617 731 1122
Japanese and Korean food is served in traditional Japanese surroundings here, with shoji screens and secluded corners for intimate conversations. Up to four sushi masters prepare your order and serve it with the style and flourish befitting such an artistic meal. Feeling daring? Try the unagi (eel) and maki rolls. For non-seafood lovers, try the tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlet), piping bowls of noodle soup, or pan-fried meat and vegetable gyoza. Round out your meal with a sampling of Japanese beers and sake (rice wine).

United States
+1 617 730 8002
http://www.tascarestaurant.com/

Young diners enjoy diverse and inexpensive tapas, from marinated olives to a 3-ounce Filet Mignon. Entrees include Chicken, Seafood and Filet Mignon over Potato Cake and Sautéed Spinach. The Spanish food is so good that one would never guess that the owners are Irish. This establishment serves beer and wine. Check the Web site for special events like flamenco night.

Wonder Bar


Allston Jazz Bar

Boston, MA 02134
United States
+1 617 351 2665
http://www.wonderbarboston.com/
Named by some as the best pick-up spot in Boston, there is no denying that there is quite a singles scene at this bar on weekends. But even if you are not a young single on the prowl, this bar has a lot to offer. The interior is black and sleek with brick walls. Live jazz is performed every night. The eclectic menu is surprisingly affordable for such a hip hangout. Highlights include the sweet potato fries, portobello-mushroom sandwich and the baked terra cotta casseroles.

Zaftigs Delicatessen


Contemporary deli
335 Harvard Street
Boston, MA 02446
United States
+1 617 975 0075
http://www.zaftigs.com/
This neighborhood deli is famous for its Jewish-American food. You will find low-fat versions of New York-style sandwiches and breakfast served all day. The bright dining room holds several small booths on a hardwood floor. Zaftigs means 'plump' in Yiddish, which explains the pictures of plump little people on the wall. The Reuben, corned beef and pastrami sandwiches are favorites. For breakfast, try the Challah french toast and blintzes. For lunch, try matzo-ball soup or whitefish salad. The dinner menu includes brisket, pork chops and flank steak. This deli serves beer and wine.
