Summer restaurant recommendations

Summer restaurant recommendations A few weeks back, I ran into my friend Andre 08 on the T (that is, the Boston subway). Andre, who is on campus this summer working on the MIT iGEM team, was on his way to eat with some friends at a new (for him) restaurant. Summer is a time where students find even more time to explore Boston and try yummy restaurants. Inspired by my conversation with Andre, here is a good summer list of restaurants for students (and campus visitors!) to try. Theyre many of my favorite places! Cafe Baraka: A wonderful, hole-in-the-wall Tunisian restaurant. Tell Chef Alia I said hello =) 80 1/2 Pearl St. Cambridge, MA T: Red Line to Central Square Punjabi Dhaba: Probably the best, cheapest, and most authentic Indian food in all of Boston. 225 Hampshire St Cambridge, MA T: Red Line to Central Square; #83 or #91 bus Addis Red Sea: Great Ethiopian food and an excuse to eat with your hands. 544 Tremont St. Boston, MA T: Orange Line to Back Bay Redbones: Among the better barbecue/Southern food in Boston, with a lot of culture and attitude. 55 Chester St Somerville, MA T: Red line to Davis Square Johnny Ds: Great jazz brunches on the weekends, and half-price (cheap!) dinners before 6pm on weekdays. 17 Holland St Somerville, MA T: Red Line to Davis Square Trident Cafe: This bookstore cafe on trendy Newbury Street has all-day breakfast and lots of vegetarian, vegan, and other healthy options. 338 Newbury Street Boston, MA T: #1 bus to Hynes Fugakyu: One of many great sushi places in the Boston area, and a great excuse to visit the very cool Coolidge Corner neighborhood. 1280 Beacon St Brookline, MA T: Green Line C train to Coolidge Corner Rubins Kosher: Yummy Kosher deli/restaurant. It really hits the spot. 500 Harvard Street Brookline, MA T: Green Line B train to Harvard Ave Flour Bakery Cafe: Yummy pastries, but also great brunch dinner. The best of its kind around. 1595 Washington St Boston, MA T: #1 bus to Washington Street The Helmand: Delicious Afghani food. Dont miss the Kaddo (pumpkin), its to die for. 143 1st St Cambridge, MA T: CambridgeSide Galleria shuttle Taiwan Cafe: One of many great places in Chinatown. I love their soup dumplings. 34 Oxford St Boston, MA T: Red Line to Downtown Crossing or South Station Bon appetit! (Feel free to leave other recommendations in the comments)
