Cafe Jaffa
This café has been offering a variety of Middle Eastern fare since opening in 1991. Always busy, rarely crowded, ask the friendly staff what's fresh and good today. Shawarma and hummus are perennial favorites of course, but give some of the juices a shot too. They have an average selection of beer and wine.

The Pour House
A favorite with locals, the Pour House offers cheap food and drinks in a fun atmosphere. Weekends tend to be crowded, but during the day it is a great place for a cold brew and gigantic plate of nachos. Specific day specials, bars upstairs and down, oh and it's seat yourself.

McGreevy's Boston
If you are looking for a real Irish Boston Sports bar than you have to stop by McGreevy's and hoist a pint. The bar is the home of famous Irish rock band, The Dropkick Murphys, which really helps build its blue-collar atmosphere. The bar has positioned itself to be the unofficial bar of the Boston Red Sox, so if you can’t get a ticket to Fenway than this is a great alternative.
