"It’s easy to see why Al’s Cafe is as busy as it is during lunchtime. Nearby workers from City Hall and the Financial District know better than to dine at one of the tourist traps in nearby Faneuil Hall. They also know there’s no better deal in town than Al’s Bag Lunch: a small sub, a bag of chips, and a Pepsi for just $11. Expect solid renditions of straightforward subs; local favorites include the chicken salad and several twists on classic steak." - Molly McDonough
