Best of Boston

This small diner’s sharp take on breakfast basics keeps the crowds coming: cod cakes topped with poached local farm eggs and hollandaise; fluffy “drunken sailor” pancakes with real rum raisins; and specials like crushed Frosted Flakes French toast. Night owls should watch for the Art Cliff’s food truck, which serves nocturnal delights like hot dogs and whoopie pies, often until 2 a.m.
