"New York City’s casual vegan chain By Chloe opens its third location in Boston on Tuesday, August 28 (399 Boylston St., Back Bay). The growing company — which styles its name as “by CHLOE.” — serves a broad menu of sandwiches, salads, pasta, and sides, all made without animal byproducts. Spanning 3,000 square feet, Back Bay’s By Chloe seats 50 people inside, plus another 24 on an outdoor patio. Inside, the muted color accents bear resemblance to the other locations in the area, with yellow cushions and hanging swing chairs in the windows. There is also a designated area for people to pick up to-go orders and online pre-orders. Hallmark items appearing on By Chloe’s menu in Back Bay include a guac burger (with a bean, quinoa, and sweet potato patty), quinoa taco salad, mac and “cheese” (with sweet potato cashew sauce), and a pesto “meatball” sub. On weekends, there’s a brunch menu that features cinnamon rolls, tofu scrambles, and pancakes. New specials rolling out September 1 range from smashed avocado toast to roasted Brussels sprouts. By Chloe’s menus also highlight food sensitivity issues, designating which items contain gluten, soy, or assorted nuts." - Dana Hatic
