1. Franklin Cafe
South End
Franklin Café is back up and running for the first time since March 2020, and the return of this South End fixture certainly warrants celebration. Make a Resy for their newly refreshed dining room or first-ever street patio; either seating situation promises smoky skillet mussels, shrimp and scallop paccheri in a spicy tomato sauce, and their famous steak frites slathered in melty Roquefort butter.
