Roast Beef and Lobster Rolls

You’ll be cussing at the moon when forced to pick between the critically lauded lobster rolls and mouthwatering roast beef sandwiches at Cusser’s, which began as a street-side takeout window at the Back Bay’s upscale Mooncusser Fish House. The kitchen is inspired by the popular roast beef and seafood shacks that dot the North Shore, and their gourmet interpretations of comforting classics will forever change the way you view sliced beef on a bun; here, the nourishing sammies are made with rare, all-natural wagyu and decadent toppings. Don't forget to round out your order with crispy onion rings or hand-cut fries.

Modern sushi

James Beard Award-winning chef Tim Cushman and his wife, advanced sake Professional Nancy Cushman, are the talents behind one of Boston’s most decorated, and expensive, restaurants: o ya. With gogo ya at Time Out Market Boston, the Cushmans have democratized their approach to world-class, Japanese-inspired fare by offering affordable dishes full of technique and flavor. Crispy nori tacos—filled with everything from grilled Maine lobster and mushroom tempura to torched salmon teriyaki—are the main draw, but if you’re looking for a complete meal opt for a bento bowl filled with torched sashimi or spicy local tofu, served on your choice of local greens, seven-grain brown rice or sushi rice.

Renowned for its stellar sourdough loaves, La Saison will now keep folks in the Fenway content with its cakes, tarts and pastries—many of which feature Middle Eastern flavors, like its famed feta-za'atar scones and pistachio-rosewater cookies—here at Time Out Market Boston.

There’s a lot to say about Say Coffee Co. Founded by Yeanie Bach and Phi Pham—the duo behind Phinista in The Fenway and Banh Mi Oi in West Roxbury—this spot specializes in coffee, tea and crepes, all elevated with a touch of Vietnamese flair.

Guests can feast upon its selection of sweet and savory crepes, whose toppings range from the silky simplicity of straight-up Nutella to the classic American breakfast combo of bacon, egg and cheese. While these fully loaded French pancakes are sure to satisfy, they are not to be upstaged by Say’s beverage offerings. Signature drinks lean heavily on Eastern staples like matcha, ube and boba, but folks can still find those Western go-tos like Americanos, cold brews and loose leaf teas.

Wood-fired pizza

Since 2020, Source has been firing up Neapolitan-style pizza that’s tempted even the most diehard of downtowners to make the journey across the river into Cambridge. While owner Daniel Roughan and executive chef Brian Kevorkian place an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients to set their pizzas apart, the real differentiator here is the dough. Made onsite from a seriously spoiled “sister” sourdough starter, the bready base of these pies produce a bubbly, crispy crust with a satisfying chew.

Signature dish: Pepperoni pizza with vin cotto

Make your life easier and get a fistful of tacos.

Marrying fresh ingredients with flavors typical of Far Eastern cuisines, this concept offers a selection of customizable rice bowls and salads that will send your taste buds traveling to Vietnam, Korea, Thailand and Japan.
