Drink
You’ve heard of wines by the glass? Well, this mod place with an adjoining wine shop also offers them by the ounce, all the better for teaching your palate a lesson, while an armada of inventive mojitos will sink those in search of stiffer treatment. Small plates of New England delicacies (like scallops wrapped in bacon, and mini crab cakes) complement the drinks admirably.

Ri-Ra the Irish Pub
Want authenticity? This Irish pub was restored in Ireland, dismantled and shipped to the US. Order a pint of what is arguably the state’s best Guinness or a dram of uisce beatha (Irish whiskey). Check out folk music on Wednesday and Sunday, a DJ on Friday and bands on Saturday night.
