"This nearly 100-year-old diner is steeped in history. As of last year, Charlie’s is one of two restaurants still standing in Boston featured in the historic Green Book guide designating safe stops for Black travelers in America during the era of segregation — the other is Slade’s in Roxbury — and advocates are currently seeking official landmark status for the restaurants to help protect their future. It’s also a damn good place for eggs, turkey hash, and a toasted tunafish sandwich." - Matt Yan, Eater Staff
