At the risk of mislabeling one of our favorite Cambridge cafes, we'll stick with the simple category of North African food. Though the Baraka Cafe chefs were differently influenced as they grew up (in Algiers and as the child...
We often lament the lack of diners in the Boston area, and while we acknowledge there are some that satisfy our cravings at times, few are so easy on the wallet as Leo's Place. With tons of breakfast options...
Harvard Square may have a few questionable alleys, but The Cellar isn't the dingy basement its name might imply. It does however lend itself to being a comfortable neighborhood hangout with all the staples: cheap, traditional American fare and cold...

Craigie Street Bistrot might seem like any other of the higher priced French-themed gems of our fare city. Wine pairings are standard, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the chef makes a friendly effort for any veg heads...
Sure, the elephant isn't quite in the Enormous Room. In fact, it's on the front door in bright red, to be exact. There's no fluorescent sign signaling the bar's name, just a simple stairway above Central Square's Central Kitchen that...
We'd try to think of a clever title, but the name is already so darn cute... So we miss Rachel's Kitchen in the Bay Village, but what good news that she's moved to Cambridgeport! Hungry Mother features updated southern cuisine:...

Summertime in Boston gets humid like the South. While the two don't ultimately compare, we're happy to find fare that reminds us of the Gulf Coast. So, enter Coast Cafe. Fried chicken just shy of too-greasy, just the right amount...
There is tea all over this city. We are, after all, in Boston. Parties revolving around tea have been happening since this city began. But when we want a sampling of some of the best, we head to Harvard Square....
