Four Meals Worth a Road Trip This Fall | Eater Boston

"Tucked into the Longfellow Hotel’s lobby, I found a European-style bar that feels like a big living room on Congress Street where you can park on a wraparound mustard couch or gather at a long locally crafted wooden table. The vibe is cozy and social — stay for a supper of small plates and snacks or let craft cocktails and a few bites launch your night. Menu highlights include crispy chickpeas tossed with shawarma spices; whipped ricotta with toasted pine nuts and hot honey on crostini; Spanish chorizo topped with pickled Basque peppers; salsa verde paired with glistening oysters; and pork sliders with guava barbecue sauce and a zippy pepper slaw that are a must-try." - Nathan Tavares
