One of the cities best new brunches; get there early as there’s always a line out the door! It’s located in the trendy area of Westboro so it’s a short drive or bus ride away but worth the visit for local shops.

This is the best sushi place close to our apartment that we found so far. The restaurant is pretty small and you may have to reserve, or you can pick them up and walk back (5 minutes) to the apartment. The staff is very friendly and the sushi doesn’t disappoint, although there are for a midrange budget.
