Sam La Grassa’s
- Boston, USA
- Restaurants › Deli
Step up to the counter and place your order for one of Sam La Grassa’s signature sandwiches, then find a spot at the crowded communal table. You won’t be disappointed by the famous Romanian pastrami or the ‘fresh from the pot’ corned beef. All of the sandwiches are so well stuffed that they can be tricky to eat, which is part of the fun.

Pappa Charlie’s Deli
Here’s a welcoming breakfast spot where locals really do ask for ‘the usual.’ The stars themselves created the lunch sandwiches that bear their names. The Richard Dreyfuss is a thick pastrami and provolone number. Or order a Politician and get anything you want on it. Downstairs is an organic juice and coffee bar.

Milk St Café
- Boston, USA
- Restaurants › Deli
This is a favorite lunchtime spot of the suit crowd. Pastas, salads, soups and sandwiches include lots of vegetarian options. The park location is pleasant in summer, when café tables are set out and diners spill onto the greenery. There is a second location (minus the garden seating) on Milk St near the Old South Meeting House.
