Harvard Gardens is many things. For one, it is a local Beacon Hill haunt. During the day, a place where nearby MGH folk enjoy lunch. On the weekends, there is a brunch crowd. Dinner is served here featuring upscale comfort food and American favorites such a delectable pastas and delicate salads. However, the real Harvard Gardens is mostly known for it's great bar scene appreciated mostly by Beacon Hillers. Crammed into the long and narrow bar you will find a plethora of preppily clad 20 and 30 somethings looking for fun and someone fun. The bar is crowded, but the drinks are not that expensive. There is something here for everyone, just remember that unless you get there really early thursday - saturday- it is standing room only! Homemade desserts like a Guinness float or a sinful "chocolate lovers" platter for two are worth a visit alone. With its location across t he street from MGH, the bar enjoys one of the highest ratios of doctors and nurses of any establishment in the city.

Very nice Finagle location right on the Massachusetts General Hospital campus. Outdoor seating in the nice weather under an archway. It's really quite pleasant, which is surprising since traffic is whizzing by on Cambridge Street right in front of the shop. That's the crazy thing about the West End, you turn a corner and it's like a completely different world. Sometimes you hit old Boston, other times you're bombarded by construction, or a quiet neighborhood with a meandering path, or hip civilization.

Fabulous local favorite. Finally, North end worthy Italian food right here in Beacon Hill! Generous portions and low prices keep Beacon Hillers eagerly returning to this small space on Cambridge street. You know you made it to the right place when you smell garlic in the air, hear Frank Sinatra crooning through the speakers on the street, and see the hungry dinner crowd lining the street waiting for a table. Open for lunch and dinner, Antonio's has a small and reasonably priced Italian wine list and accepts major credit cards.

Pizzetta is a pizza place open until 3:00 am thursday-sunday to help feed the late night crowd. Open during the day and for breakfast as well. Seasonal hours and time openings apply. Cash only- no credit cards accepted.

Great French food. A must have is the excellent pâté, for a full dinner I recommend the prix fix menu.

The King and I is a local Beacon Hill favorite serving heaping portions of Thai food at reasonable prices. You can enjoy your meal to go (as alot of local Hillers do) or you can dine in their quaint Charles Street location. Appetizers and entrees rarely exceed the $12 mark, and their wine list, though small, is priced just right as well.

The latest addition to the Anna's empire is this Beacon Hill/Mass General location. As with other Anna's locales, they make tasty, quick Mexican specialties like tacos burritos, and quesadillas, at exceedingly cheap prices. Being open until 11:00 and a short walk from Harvard Gardens, it makes for a great late night meal after a few pints.
