Stops Worth Getting Off For
Orange BingeBowl Editor's Pick
Moldovan cooking — the stuffed cabbage and the Taste of Moldova bowl. One of a kind in the Boston area, and worth the ride to the end of the line.
Orange Warren Tavern Editor's Pick
Clam chowder, then the short-rib shepherd's pie. This pub has been pouring since 1780 — George Washington drank here. The food holds up without leaning on the history.
Orange Cafe Bonjour Editor's Pick
The Farm Club sandwich. Note the 3pm close — this one keeps short hours. If I were getting off here, I'd plan my timing around it.
Orange Mike & Patty's Editor's Pick
"The Fancy" egg sandwich. Order ahead — this tiny spot moves fast. Take it around the corner and eat it on the Common.
Orange The Haven Editor's Pick
Boston's Scottish pub: the scotch egg and the Haven burger, with one of the longest single-malt lists on the East Coast. A neighborhood regular that rewards repeat visits.
Orange Brassica Kitchen + Cafe Editor's Pick
Wood-fired pizza and fried chicken, or go for the tasting menu if you're planning ahead. Boston Magazine Best Restaurants 2025 (#10) — the Forest Hills end of the line is worth the full ride.
Orange Grill 23 & Bar
The 100-day aged prime ribeye. Boston's premier steakhouse for 40+ years. Dinner only — plan accordingly.
Orange Peruvian Taste
Lomo saltado and ceviche. A straightforward, reliable Peruvian spot that gets overlooked because Sullivan Square isn't a destination neighborhood — yet.
Orange SRV
Venetian cicchetti — the guanciale risotto is the move. Dinner only. One of the quieter South End spots that doesn't need the hype.
Orange Viva Mi Arepa
The arepa reina pepiada and a papelón con limón to drink. JP's Jackson Square corridor has some of the best casual Latin food in the city.
