Pier 6 Boston Waterfront, Peregrine, Ciao Bella, Now on the Resy Hit List

Because sometimes the best place to ride out a heat wave is in it. Take in the view on the roof deck of this seafood spot in the Charlestown Navy Yard, where you’ll be supplied with cold beers, tuna poke and chilled lobster rolls. Afterward, move the party to the opposite side of the harbor via a complimentary water taxi to Reelhouse East Boston Waterfront.

Because this Beacon Hill newcomer and buzzy all-day Mediterranean spot is a welcome addition to the neighborhood, courtesy of the Juliet team. Visit in the morning for Spanish-style tomato bread, return for braised chicken pappardelle in the afternoon, and spring for for bisteca with roasted garlic aioli at dinnertime.

For reservations, contact the restaurant at (617)-367-1866.

Because after years of hype, Time Out Market Boston has delivered. Its 25,000 square foot space includes 15 stands from local names, ranging from two new concepts from Tim and Nancy Cushman to a dedicated Craigie Burger outpost that serves Tony Maws’s most famous creation.

Walk-ins only.

Because Karen Akunowicz’s South Boston enoteca continues to garner national praise, and for good reason: harissa-braised lamb and wild boar tagliatelle are among the cheffy delights. Make a Resy to see what all the fuss is about.

Because while it’s the end of an era for North Square Oyster, the team behind Tony & Elaine’s is now serving lobster ravioli and veal Milanese at Ciao Bella—located inside a beautiful North End brownstone. Devotees of North Square Oyster can still enjoy natural wines and lobster rolls in the connected bar room next door.

Because beat the heat with a plate of chilled seafood ceviche and a frosty Pisco Sour proffered by this Peruvian gem. You may even have room for spicy potato terrine or a cilantro stew with lamb.

Because this upscale izakaya chain, with locations in London and Dubai, has set up shop in Boston’s second Four Seasons, providing the chance to nosh on torched salmon nigiri, California rolls made with Alaskan king crab, and sensational black cod wrapped in hoba leaf. Stick around the bar for a lively scene and Japanese whisky cocktails.

For reservations, contact the restaurant at (857)-449-2500.

Because let the spirit of Bastille Day linger at this cozy Lyonnaise bouchon in the South End. Choose from a range of specialties, including Lyon-style pike dumpling and a chicken liver parfait served with red onion marmalade and toasted ciabatta.

Because the menu at this locally-influenced West Cambridge spot deals in the sort of fresh and light fare that’s refreshing when temperatures rise (think whole wheat spaghetti puttanesca to a Maine halibut en papillote). More indulgent diners can opt for the six-course tasting menu, serving the likes of foie gras torchon and braised veal garganelli with summer truffle.

Because the husband-and-wife duo behind Brownyn has expanded their presence in Union Square, opening a wood-fired pizza restaurant with more than one stunning variety. At T&B, enjoy Neapolitan pies covered in speck and rum-soaked pineapple, or share sheets of thick, Roman-style al taglio pizza with toppings ranging like kielbasa and lobster.
