Afternoon Delights: One can only exist on slop bowls for so long — it’s time to have a proper lunch. And what good timing, as Tonino will continue to host prix-fixe, family-style lunches every second Saturday through October. Elsewhere, JM Curley has brought back lunch service, so that you may again avail yourself of lobster mac ‘n’ cheese and housemade crunchwraps after 11 a.m. each day.
Summermaxxing: All good things must come to an end, including an epic summer marked by hordes of Scots and a flotilla of tall ships. But don’t despair: soak up the waning days of summer at venues uniquely suited to the season, including The Tall Ship Boston for deckside carnitas tacos and clam strip rolls, ReelHouse Marina Bay for waterfront shellfish towers and shrimp ceviche, and Marcelino’s Seaport for traditional caviar service with unbeatable Boston Harbor views.
Taste It: Is Boston having a tasting menu renaissance? It sure feels that way, with many-coursed options like Wa Shin and O Ya for omakase, Nightshade Noodle Bar for a Michelin-recommended blending of French and Vietnamese cuisines, Lenox Sophia for the intimate feel of a chef’s kitchen, and long-running asta for an omnivorous tour through seasonal ingredients, also available vegan or vegetarian.
Province Me This: Haven’t made it out to P-Town yet this summer? We don’t want to hear the excuses. But we can help you secure reservations to the likes of Freemans Provincetown for short rib tartare and butter-poached Maine lobster, Liz’s Cafe and Anybody’s Bar for hearty classics like shrimp scampi and chicken Parmesan, Joon Bar and Kitchen Provincetown for duck sliders and tagine-spiced scallops, and Victor’s for coconut-crusted shrimp cocktail and scallop risotto.
