If you know me well, you know that I love food. I love making food, I love reading about food, but most importantly, I love eating food. Good thing for all foodies in Beantown, Boston has amazing places to eat, making it impossible to go hungry here. Whether you\u2019re visiting BU and COM on a perspective student tour or you\u2019re moving here, it\u2019s good to know of some food options, because let\u2019s face it \u2013 meals are the most important part of any day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Eating out at restaurants can add up quickly, especially for a broke college student like myself. But when it\u2019s a birthday, family or friends to come to visit, or you feel like splurging, it\u2019s nice to explore new restaurants that may be on the more pricey side. Here are my favorite restaurants in Boston that are on both sides of the price spectrum (don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s nothing too expensive!).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Breakfast<\/b> (a.k.a. my favorite meal of the day)<\/p>\n
On the less expensive side<\/i>: @Union, 174 Harvard Ave.<\/p>\n
@Union is a small restaurant a few blocks west from BU\u2019s West Campus. They serve breakfast all day, which is a plus for those who sleep until really late in the day, as well as lunch and dinner. All of the prices are extremely reasonable especially for the quality and quantity of the food of your meal. My suggestion: build-your-own omelet.<\/p>\n
On the more expensive side<\/i>: Stephanie\u2019s, Newbury St.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately Stephanie\u2019s only serves brunch on the weekends, but it\u2019s worth a trip. With its delicious food and decadent drinks, the menu goes beyond the typical scrambled eggs or plain French toast, also offering lunch options. And for those of you 21+, they have a huge check-list of what you\u2019d like in a bloody Mary, with anything from shrimp to expensive vodka. My suggestion: pulled pork scramble.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lunch<\/b><\/p>\n
On the less expensive side<\/i>: Scoozi Boston (580 Commonwealth Ave.) or Scoozi Newbury (237 Newbury St.)<\/p>\n
Scoozi is a great option for lunch, offering anything from paninis and pizza to steak and seafood \u2013 and it\u2019s not too pricey. Choose from either its location on Newbury Street if you\u2019re out shopping for the day of its Kenmore location if you\u2019re on campus looking for a change in pace from the dining hall. My suggestion: steak tips panini.<\/p>\n
On the more expensive side<\/i>: Union Oyster House, 41 Union St.<\/p>\n
The longest continuing-running restaurant in the country, Union Oyster House is a quaint oyster house located along the Freedom Trail, making it a perfect pitstop if you\u2019re walking along the trail. You can sense how fresh the food is there by the jumbo lobster tank placed right in the front of the restaurant. Try to sit in the famous booth, where President JFK\u2019s booth \u201cThe Kennedy Booth\u201d sits on the top level of the old oyster house. My suggestion: any of the oysters or lobster salad roll.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dinner<\/b><\/p>\n
On the less expensive side<\/i>: Al Dente, 109 Salem St.<\/p>\n
If you love food and you\u2019re in Boston, you need to visit the North End. On a budget? Al Dente is a great place to stop in for dinner. You can\u2019t go wrong with any of the delicious (and homemade!) pasta dishes. Make sure to bring an appetite, as all of the portions will fill you right up. My suggestion: gnocchi al dente.<\/p>\n
On the more expensive side<\/i>: Eastern Standard, 528 Commonwealth Ave.<\/p>\n
Located near Scoozi Boston, Eastern Standard is a favorite steakhouse among BU students and their families. With everything from gourmet grilled cheese (I kid you not) to porterhouse, there\u2019s something for everyone at Eastern Standard. My suggestion: seared Scottish salmon or grilled flat iron steak.<\/p>\n

Hopefully my suggestions will serve as a helpful guide of where to eat when you\u2019re eating out in Boston. If none of these restaurants suit your needs, you can look at Boston Magazine\u2019s website with different restaurant suggestions. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
