My fave spot near the city to get food is Assembly Row in Somerville. Why? 1 - Easy to park. B - SOOOOO MANY CHOICES. Currently about 12 spots. I love Earl's, Tony C's, & River Bar!
Some of the recent additions have been Shake Shack and Sweet Green (seriously been a problem for my wallet) and now more have been announced.
Any day Salt & Stone should be opening up where Midici once resided.
Just announced to be coming - a new Portguese inspired spot Tribos Peri Peri,
The people behind Saigon Fusion in Fenway will be opening Menya Jiro ramen chain
A small-plate restaurant called Civility Social House
A Taiwanese tea shop Ten One Tea House,
And a new location of Tatte Bakery & Cafe
And Opening Soon -
A juice bar Juicygreens,
