Meridian Food Market
Always a lunch line out the door of cops, firefighters, construction workers, and local office workers. The Meridian St Special sandwich (roasted red peppers, fresh mozzarella, basil, & chicken cutlet) is excellent. Their Italian sub is very good. Takeaway dinners are good, and they also offer catering for parties at good prices.

Americano Espresso Bar
The only coffee shop in Eastie that isn't at the airport, or a Dunks or Honey Dew. It's not bad, and there's definitely better options across the harbor, but you aren't across the harbor now are you?

Atlantic Works Gallery
The art scene in East Boston has exploded over the years with the redevelopment of the East Boston Artists Group's Atlantic Works Art Gallery. Here you can drop in, view art at the dozens of studios artists keep in the historic building and, of course, purchase something for your wall.
