Cafe Polonia
Quite possibly the only Polish restaurant in Boston, but one of the better restaurants by any standard. Authentic Polish food at very reasonable prices, although it may be too authentic for some (e.g. the lard with bacon bits that's provided as a spread for bread). The place is very small, so reservations are recommended.

A variety of big box stores line the perimeter of this giant open air mall, updated in 2018. Longtime retailers like Best Buy, Marshalls, and Target have been joined by a Nike store, Carhartt, and Ulta Beauty. Several restaurants are opening up too; from burgers, to ramen, to something a little more upscale.

Laid back tavern serving up craft beers in an intimate space. Located in a less visited part of the neighborhood, this is a great place to catch up with friends or watch the game on TV.
