The Last-Minute Dinner Guide - Boston - The Infatuation

"If your last-minute meal needs to be a little fancy because, say, your friend just found out she’s the last-remaining heir to small European principality where the national pastimes are sitting on verandas and laundering money, head to Bistro du Midi. With leather booths, a fireplace and windows overlooking the Public Garden, the dining room feels like one of those $15,000 a night hotel suites that Oprah stays in, and the French seafood menu is perfect for preparing your friend for summers spent on Mediterranean estates. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - dan secatore
