"This casual Charlestown gastropub is a locals’ favorite for a hearty brunch, and it will be open to celebrate the New Year with copious bloody marys (just get the carafe) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday, January 1. Birria tacos, breakfast wraps with scrambled eggs and bacon, and salads will fuel your morning and early afternoon." - Tanya Edwards


"Oftentimes the best chicken wings are fried, but Monument’s wood fire-roasted lemon rosemary wings, served with buttermilk ranch, may convert even the most diehard fried wing fan. Like it spicy? Opt for the ancho chili version, which is served with a cooling side of blue cheese dip." - Erika Adams

"Described as one of the group’s Charlestown hangouts, Monument is part of the small local restaurant empire that helped launch Prima; its dining room experience is closely tied to the group’s management team (general manager Andrew Colgan previously managed Monument’s dining room) and overseen alongside the other Charlestown spots by managing partner Jon Sweeney." - Erika Adams

"It’s not the most famous monument in Charlestown — that title goes to the obelisk commemorating the Revolutionary War a few blocks away — but Monument Restaurant & Tavern may be just as locally iconic. If you’ve worked up an appetite after a day meandering the Freedom Trail, waltz over to this spot for snacks and cocktails. It’s wedged into Boston’s oldest neighborhood, but it’s no tourist trap: You’ll find local families, young professionals, and townies alike packed into the cozy, rustic dining room or spilling out onto the sidewalk patio. The expansive menu has something for everyone. Sip on a Zeus Juice alongside your meal; with a mix of botanical Italian aperitif and Grey Goose Essences Strawberry & Lemongrass, it’s the ideal refresher on a hot summer day." - Vox Creative


"The owners of popular Charlestown restaurant Monument Tavern are looking to open a new diner in the neighborhood." - Terrence Doyle
