This beautiful old fashioned neighborhood is known for its intimate and romantic places, including The Hungry, Todd English's famous Figs and the French-Asian Torch. Although there is often a wait for a table, the inviting cobblestone streets and gas-lit alleyways are perfect for a pre-dinner walk.

On the other side of the Charles River, Cambridge has many hidden jewels that offer a fine dining experience in the cosmopolitan little city. Casablanca is an obvious choice for Humphrey Bogart fans, and Chez Henri serves French cuisine with a South American twist. The Border Café is the place for margaritas and quesadillas.
