"At the Neighborhood Restaurant, the Borges family has been cooking Portuguese classics like cod cake and linguica for breakfast and lunch since 1983, long before the area became trendy. Another menu stalwart that has created generations of diehard brunch fans? Cream of wheat. Forget what the stodgy name evokes — unless it’s something simultaneously decadent and homey, with a rich, velvety texture and a fragrant finish of cinnamon. Weather-permitting, be sure to sit in the restaurant’s quaint courtyard shadowed by Concord grape vines." - Nathan Tavares, Valerie Li Stack
