We love knowing the new eats in our neighborhoods, so we collected some of the newest additions to the Boston area food scene for your Friday night enjoyment. Don’t worry if you end up wearing some of the food— check out our nearest locations to you and we’ll take care of your stains with our same-day service!
- Celeste: At the heart of Celeste is the promise of a shared experience with delicious food, great drinks and even better company. A visit here offers more than authentic Peruvian dishes— you also get to witness Celeste Radio, a radio station that curates and commissions the best cumbia, salsa dura, merengue and vallenato mixtapes directly from vinyl rips, old radio broadcasts and select finds. It’s a unique collaboration between artists and musicians that you won’t find anywhere else. Somerville
- La Bodega: Don’t let the space of La Bodega fool you. Even though it’s partially set in a revamped diner car, La Bodega is the perfect date-night spot. Opened just before Christmas, this space is bursting with Uruguayan, Spanish, and Basque meals. Watertown
- Oisa Ramen Slurp and Go: This restaurant is set up to do exactly as the name describes: slurp your meal, then go. With limited seating and a short menu with items specifically listed as either takeout or eat-in, this pop-up-turned-brick-and-mortar shop is equal parts efficient and delicious. Broad Street, Boston
- Tiki Rock: Located right next to Oisa (the two share some of the same amenities), Tiki Rock encourages customers to slurp ramen next door then stay at Tiki for the fun neon lights and especially strong drinks. Whether you’re looking for a drink, apps, or a full meal, Tiki has something to offer everyone. Broad Street, Boston
- Southern Proper, 600 Harrison Ave Boston: Executive Chef and Owner Jason Cheek drew from his North Carolina roots when deciding to bring traditional Southern comfort food to Boston. From fermented hot sauce to smoked meats and an extensive rye whiskey and bourbon list, Southern Proper brings Chef Jason’s home to yours. 600 Harrison Ave., Boston
