"Let’s face it: Just because it’s touristy doesn’t mean it’s bad. You’re on Newbury Street after all, and Joe’s is a Newbury Street institution. Plus, a surprising amount of locals continue to haunt its halls. If you are in need of a cold drink, a burger, nachos, a big salad, or other American pub grub after several hours on foot exploring Back Bay, try Joe’s. If possible, walk in and grab a seat at the front bar or in the front dining area, where there are massive windows facing Newbury. (Side note: Joe’s on Newbury is not related to Stephanie’s on Newbury, which is across the street.)" - Anna Darrow
