Charlie's Sandwich Shoppe

Diner · South End

"There’s a lot of Boston landmarks on this list, but Charlie’s is one of the most prominent among them. The 32-seat diner, which was founded in 1927, earned a place in the Green Book, a historic traveling guidebook for Black Americans, for rejecting segregated dining in the 1900s. It still stands today as both a beloved marker of history and a really excellent spot to get a Reuben on grilled rye bread." - Nathan Tavares
