Hands down the best restaurant we've been to in Boston. The bar side has great grass-fed burgers (I think better than Grass Fed, the sister burger join next door). Going here is alway a special night.

Best pastries in JP. The options change daily but always include cookies, croissants, turnovers, muffins, brioche, tea breads, personal galletes and loaves of bread. If you love pastries, you must go.

Drinks & Nightlife
My favorite place for really good craft beers, an interesting, hip crowd, and fun music. They don't serve food but you can bring your own food in from neighboring take out places.

My favorite place to do vinyasa yoga in Jp. It is a big studio but still spacious. Convenient location right down town. We have 3 yoga mats you can borrow so you don't have to pay to use one.

Some serious, vintage thrift shopping here. The owner is great, and once altered a dress for me on the spot that I wanted to buy. Good local artists also sell jewelry here sometimes.

If you love hats, gloves and other fancy accessories, this is for you. I have an oversized flower from here that I clip on to fancy-up for special occasions. We also have a cool flask from here.
