Chinese Restaurant · Newtonville · 7 tips and reviews
Al S: Lunch specials are the way to do: 11 am to 3 pm every day, except for Sundays and holidays, with a wide variety of options, all priced between $8 and $12.
Pedestrian Plaza · Fenway - Kenmore - Audubon Circle - Longwood · 14 tips and reviews
Al S: El Tiante, the sandwich joint on Yawkey, is one of the few places at Fenway where you can get a chicken sausage sandwich. A must if you, like me, do not dig on swine. Only open during Sox games though
Al S: Fantastic coffee, horrendous service. They mess up food orders more than they get them right. Grab java at George Howell then go across the street to Bread and Chocolate or Great Harvest for food.

Al S: The best thing about The Publick House is its extensive selection of rare (at least in the U.S.) Belgian beers, but the Monk Fries in a paper cone are a close second. Eat some with truffle ketchup.
