"If you’re too busy looking at the non-seasonal Masquerade Costume Store on Christopher Columbus Blvd., you might just miss Pho Saigon. This restaurant has been a staple of the Riverview Plaza for years, serving bowls of phở, broken rice platters, smoothies, and Vietnamese coffee. Get the rare steak phở, along with a side of shrimp and pork summer rolls and the crispy pork spring rolls. When it’s cold outside, it’s the ideal way to start the day." - alison kessler
