"Boston transplants love to complain that this city just isn’t New York. We know. And we like it that way. But sometimes even the most dyed-in-the-wool Beantown residents get a hankering for NYC deli-style lox bagels or pastrami on rye, and that’s where Zaftigs comes in. No, Meg Ryan never filmed a scene here, but the food is top notch and perfect for a meatier brunch. The New Yorker sandwich, stacked with hot pastrami and corned beef, is heftier than a Fens goose. And the latkes with sour cream and lox are the tallest, fluffiest, crispiest we’ve ever encountered. But the best thing about this classic Brookline establishment is that their breakfast and lunch menus are served all day, every day." - Lala Thaddeus

Fiya Hen

Chicken restaurant · Brookline

"Amazingly crispy chicken! Korean fried chicken is double fried with an emphasis on crunch. The skin is paper-thin over very juicy chicken with our house-made glazes adding unique flavors to the party. Served with a side of pickled radish as a palate refresher, making each piece taste as delicious as the first. Our Spicy sauce is our original favorite. Sweet with a bit of spicy, this is our homage to the flavors that put Korean fried chicken on the map in K-town spots across America. The Soy Garlic sauce is our soy garlic take on the second ‘traditional’ flavor. Often, Spicy and Soy Garlic are ordered together to provide a steady contrast of spicy and salty."
