Best of Boston

The magic of this J.P. gem is that you can spend nine lives browsing the records and books in the back shop with a drink in hand before you even sit down in the main restaurant and peruse the Spanish menu. And where else can you sip a cocktail inspired by fabulous felines in pop culture, like Garfield and Crookshanks? Foodwise, the dinner paella tops the charts, while the sourdough brunch waffles are downright scene-stealing.
