Easy Like Sunday Evening
Sunday Evening Market Menu
Beacon Hill Hotel &
Bistro
25 Charles St.
617-723-7575
There’s no better time than
summer in New England to take
advantage of fresh, seasonal
fruits and vegetables, and
Executive Chef Jason Bond of the
Beacon Hill Hotel & Bistro is
doing just that. Utilizing
fresh, local ingredients, Bond
has created BHHB’s three-course
Sunday Evening Market Menu, at a
fixed price of $40 per person.
Leaning toward organic
ingredients—primarily
vegetarian, with occasional
elements like farm fresh eggs
and seafood—prior Sunday evening
menus have included dishes like
baby carrots glazed with walnuts
and caviar shortcake with
rhubarb. The Sunday Evening
dinners offer a light and
cleansing way to atone for the
sins of the weekend and prepare
the body and soul for a busy
week ahead.

Imagine this: a fluffy white
cupcake, topped with delicate
chocolate frosting, served in an
elegant, refined bakery that’s
more akin to a Victorian sitting
room. No, it’s not in
London—it’s new Back Bay cupcake
boutique Sweet. With its pink
and brown curly-cue wallpaper
and clean, bright lights, Sweet
looks like a little girl’s tea
party—complete with a selection
of mouth-watering cupcakes like
the dark chocolate, finished off
with vanilla or chocolate
frosting; the organic carrot
with cream cheese frosting; and
the espresso/chocolate-flavored
cappuccino cupcake. Or, skip the
cake entirely and opt for a
“frosting shot” to go. No matter
what flavor you crave, Sweet has
got a dessert sure to make you
feel like a kid again.

Get Your Gator On
Alligator Bites
Dick’s Last Resort
Quincy Market,
Faneuil Hall Marketplace
617-267-8080
If you’re looking for a
Boston dining experience that
lets you assert your toughness
and macho attitude, let someone
else fool around with cracking
open a lobster (Wearing a bib?
Not macho) while you head to
Dick’s Last Resort to tangle
with a truly fearsome beast: the
shiver-inducing alligator. The
popular Faneuil Hall eatery
recently added Alligator
Bites—golden, deep-fried nuggets
of real alligator meat—to their
summer menu, a unique culinary
offering here in the land of
cod, clambakes and baked beans.
