"For classic, family-friendly New England fare at a historic site This one’s quite a bit outside of the city, but Boston-area diners will be familiar with the folks behind it: Cambridge’s Loyal Nine team is getting ready to open Northern Spy at an old copper mill at the Paul Revere Heritage Site in Canton. It’s going to be a spacious location; in addition to a large dining room, there’ll be a garden patio and private event rooms. An open kitchen with a wood-fired hearth will be a focal point. The team has described the restaurant as offering “the soul of New England comfort food”; think prime rib, hot buttered crab on Parker House rolls, mac and cheese, and chowder, all showing off the bounty of the Southern New England coast. There’ll be plenty of kid-friendly options, too. Late spring 2020" - Terrence Doyle
