New Boston Restaurants

  1. 1 Pairings

    50 Park Plz, Boston, MA 02116 (map)

    A revitalized space in the Park Plaza Hotel (formerly Bonfire), with a hushed taupe palette and airy streetside windows, hosts "food and drink with personality" through dishes like lobster corn dogs and a local grass-fed burger. A private wine room and patio expand the seating options.

  2. 2 Market by Jean-Georges

    100 Stuart St, Boston, MA 02116 (map)

    W Boston's round-the-clock restaurant is fronted by celebrity chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, featuring regional cuisine that is international in spirit, with strong influences from France, Italy and Asia.

  3. 3 Conga Bar and Restaurant
    Write a review

    1 Eliot St, Cambridge, MA 02138 (map)

    Flexing its new beer and wine liquor license with aplomb, this location (replacing the fleeting Shabu Square) sports sherry, Shiraz and Samuel Smith with ease. With an extensive Latin-tinged, tapas-heavy menu--think raw oyster bar, chorizo a la plancha and cuban sandwiches--Conga's concept should stick for good.

  4. 4 Woodward
    Write a review

    1 Court St, Boston, MA 02108 (map)

    Located in the lusciously trendy Morgan Ames Hotel, this urban tavern--helmed by executive chef Mark Goldberg--features regional ingredients, breakfast/lunch/dinner/late-night menus 7 days a week and a pickling program. Throughout the dinner and evening hours, all menu items at Woodward are designed for sharing and come to the table, as they are prepared.

  5. 5 Bar Americain
    Write a review

    1 Mohegan Sun Blvd, Uncasville, CT 06382 (map)

    Celebrity chef Bobby Flay launches his tenth restaurant and second Bar Americain at Mohegan Sun, where "his decidedly American menu is mirrored by the energetic fast pace of the time-honored European brasserie." New England ingredients weave their way through "Crispy Connecticut Oysters with Crème Fraiche Chowder and Bacon Relish" and a "Native American Taco with BBQ Duck, Cranberry and Red Chile."

    253 Shawmut Ave, Boston, MA 02118 (map)

    The wildly anticipated Italian meat-centric enoteca from Ken Oringer and Jamie Bissonette in the South End will serve localvore-friendly small plates, handmade pastas, charcuterie and wood-oven pizzas.

  2. 7 5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended Red Mango

    334 Massachusetts Ave, Boston, MA 02115 (map)

    The wildly trendy frozen yogurt franchise, with outposts dotting Los Angeles and New York, will launch its first Boston location with the signature array of tangy flavors and toppings.

  3. 8 Stoddard's Fine Food and Ale
    Write a review

    48 Temple Pl, Boston, MA 02111 (map)

    Launched by Ivy Restaurant Group (perched right across the street), Stoddard's (expected Nov. 17) pays homage to its location's legacy as an old-school cutlery store with a suitably old-school concept featuring cask-conditioned ale, hearty food and on-site shoeshine. And everyone can cool their jets: The underground members-only club will admit both gentlemen and ladies.
