Stops Worth Getting Off For
Green Sarma Editor's Pick
The Black Sea Cornbread first, then let the rotating meze menu lead. Voted Boston Magazine's #1 restaurant 2025 — and the GLX finally makes it easy to get here without a car.
Green Krasi Editor's Pick
Tzatziki made tableside, the giouvetsi, and let the staff pick the wine. One of the best Greek restaurants in New England, and the wine program is serious.
Green Bab Al-Yemen Editor's Pick
Lamb or chicken mandi and Yemeni tea. Note that they open at 2pm on weekdays — plan around it, because it's worth the wait.
Green La Fonda St Editor's Pick
The chimichurri steak tacos and the Cuban bowl. $2.99 Taco Tuesday is one of the better deals on the whole system — if I were getting off here on a Tuesday, I wouldn't overthink it.
Green Cafe Weekend Editor's Pick
The shakshuka and an Einspaner (espresso over whipped cream). Harvard Ave is one of Boston's most densely packed restaurant strips — Cafe Weekend is the morning anchor.
Green Cactus Club
Szechuan lettuce wraps and Baja fish tacos in a mosaic-ceilinged room. A Back Bay standby that's been doing its own thing for years.
Green El Jefe's Taqueria
Build-your-own burrito, open till 2am, steps from the Common. When you need food after a show, this is the move.
Green Clear Flour Bread
The walnut morning buns. European hearth bread baked here since 1982 — get there early, because the best stuff goes fast.
Green The Silk
Chicken tikka masala and the masala chai crème brûlée. Coolidge Corner has a strong restaurant density, and The Silk is a consistent reason to get off at Saint Paul.
Green Hot Tomatoes
Garlic knots first, then The Bomba — sausage, broccoli rabe, hot cherry peppers. Union Square's food scene has gotten serious, and Hot Tomatoes has been here through all of it.
