Food Scene
El Oriental De Cuba
416 Centre StGreat Cuban food! reasonable prices and walking distance
Tapas and wine bar....Many guests have really liked their experience at Tres Gatos. About 15 minute walk. Not cheap, the tapas bill adds up, but worth a splurge! Small and intimate, best to reserve in advance. A vinyl record store at the back!

My favorite restaurant in Boston (actually it's Brookline...). Great atmosphere, lively, good food with rotating menu. Everything from good burgers to creative American food, high end steaks, wines, etc. Very friendly and gregarious owner Jerry (ask him about bicycles!)... Not within walking distance unless you're up for a trek.
