Chef Michael Schlow brings you one of Boston's premier seafood dining destinations. The team of Schlow, Esti Parsons and Christopher Myers--who were so successful with Radius and Matta have created Great Bay in the Commonwealth Hotel. It is not cheap, but who wants seafood that isn't of the utmost quality anyway? This place has a modern, nautically themed dining room and lounge marked by sky-high ceilings, deep blues and playful lighting fixtures. The "Sand Dollar Menu," offered weekdays from 5pm to 6pm at the Island Bar (raw bar), includes spicy fish tacos, chilled Duxbury oysters and lobster-shrimp dumplings, all for $1 each.

The Foundation Lounge is the "hotel bar" of the Hotel Commonwealth. It offers high-end design and high end drinks, with a bar menu that leans towards the Japanese (edamame, maki, kobe beef, spring rolls). Creative cusine and interesting cocktails make this a hotspot on the weekends, after work crowd, and wildly popular during Red Sox games.

Eastern Standard serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. It caters to hotel guests, locals and Red Sox fans. A popular place to dine before a Red Sox game, Eastern Standard is a popular destination post game as well. Whether you are there for a delicious brasserie experience or saddling up to the bar to enjoy the extensive cocktail list, Eastern Standard does not disappoint. Voted Best of Boston for Group dining as well. Fair warning: can be loud at the bar after the Sox get out! A real French brasserie is kind of like the equivalent of an American steak house/comfort food joint: croque monsieurs, onion soup, a huge plate of oysters, crabs legs, and other seafood tasties, wash it down with a flute of champagne or a nice glass of belgian ale. It's high minded, delicious, slightly decadent without feeling like you've gorged on a side of creamed spinach.

America runs on caffeine and sugar and Boston needs a Dunkin Donuts every block or so.

A McDonald's is a McDonald's no matter where you go in this country. You can expect your service to be quick and somewhat apathetic. The cheeseburger is not going to taste better than the last one you had. Upside: Free Wifi, although I suggest this be your last resort for a quite sit down place to study with your laptop.

In the area once occupied by the infamous and lamented Deli Haus (home to many early morning breakfasts) is the Lower Depths Tap Room. A pub that opened in December 2006 and is known for its very good hamburger and large selection of beers. BE AWARE The Lower Depths is a CASH ONLY establishment. Starting in 2008, Lower Depths is now serving brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. Hot dogs $1 each. Seven different toppings can be added for another $1 each.

Get your morning joe and a bagel or visit for tasty bagel sandwiches for lunch or dinner.
