Choose Central Street for a daytime start at Bagel Central, Front Street for Sea Dog’s casual pub setting, Hammond Street for Novio’s course-led dinner, or Park Street for The Tarratine’s individually ordered dinner. The meal format matters as much as the address: breakfast, a brewpub stop and a full dinner create different evenings. Fit the restaurant to the city day or event you have planned rather than asking one place to suit every occasion.
