Dear Annie

The 28 Best Restaurants In Boston - Boston - The Infatuation

"The menu at Dear Annie doubles as a zine with a grainy cover photo of Tina Turner and David Bowie sharing a swig from a bottle of wine. It’s a fitting image for a New American restaurant that encourages mingling both with people you know and those you don't. At the massive 16-seat communal table in the center of the room, taper candles flicker on faces and someone is always just a glass of trousseau away from swiping the deck of Tarot cards on the table and reading your future. Dear Annie focuses on vegetarian and pescetarian dishes served alongside a formidable wine list from low-intervention producers. Order something to drink you've never heard of before and the Sea Dog—essentially a fish cake smushed into the shape of a ballpark dog—grab a seat at the table, and maybe make like Turner and Bowie and take some swigs straight from the bottle." - tanya edwards, jonathan smith
