After a successful stint in Harvard Square and on Commonwealth Avenue near Kenmore Square, this gazebo restaurant in Post Office Square Park in the Financial District is the newest Z Square location to open its doors. Featuring fresh ingredients in all of their signature sandwiches, salads, paninis, handcrafted soups and daily specials, keep your eye out for the roving Z Crepe Cart during the warmer months.

Chopped designer salads? You bet. This Financial Street gem is a hidden hotspot for herbivores looking to satisfy their salad-as-a-meal fix. Hidden behind a grand glass facade at 100 Federal Street, Boston's Wild Greens boasts Wolfgang Puck goodies ranging from robustly prepared soups to vegan-approved salads. Wild Greens also has daily specials--like an awe-inspiring fajita bar on Thursdays and a daily breakfast menu where the chef prepares a larger-than-usual meal as you wait. While a bit on the pricey side, Wild Greens doesn't hold back with its portions (be prepared to walk back to your office with a doggie bag). And, to top off an above-average lunch experience, Wild Greens boasts outdoor seating next to a sculpture garden. Score!

A unique twist on traditional panini, sandwiches heated in a press. Indulge in the Nutella-and-chocolate breakfast panini on the way to the office and I guarantee you will have a much better day at work because of it! Try the Steak Cuban for lunch - citrus marinated steak, swiss cheese, black bean salsa, mojo, pickles, carmalized onions, on ciabatta. Now serving wine and beer. Dreary Day discount! 10% off for the asking if:

Sebastians is going to help you keep that New Year's resolution. Salads are the name of the game here and starting at just $6.75 for a large mixed salad, you will def. get a bang for your buck. However, for those less body image conscious, crepes, stuffed sandwiches, and a hot bar awaits your every comfort food desire.

The soup is always good- using fresh ingredients and served piping hot. On warmer days, the salad is of the make-your-own variety and pretty good. They have nice extras like hummus, tofu, marinated mushrooms and taboule which make it worth the low price. However, sometimes the bins get empty before the employees think to refresh them- a slight annoyance.

Sandwiches are pricey here, but the hot entrees come with salad and are actually a pretty good deal for a "real lunch." Also a selection of fruit, yogurt, and really, really good cakes. This Rebecca's is sort of small but does have some good seating to watch the passersby on High Street.

You can find some decent soups from a roster that has both consistent offerings like clam chowder and rotating selections such as split pea, carrot-broccoli and vegetable-barley, plus a few stews. Sandwiches include the usual suspects, plus some interesting selections such as Caribbean chicken with banana-ginger chutney and some Asian and Middle Eastern wraps in tortillas and pita breads. The salad bar itself leaves a lot to be desired compared to the multifaceted, unusual, prepared salads you can score at any decent lunch place---or even compared to the bars at most supermarkets.

Popular hangout with the business crowd, Brandy Pete’s serves up deli sandwiches and American staples like hamburgers, subs, salads and roast beef. Open since 1933, this pub also boasts a stellar selection of beers and pub grub like fried calamari. During the summer, they open up their doors and offer outdoor seating—a definite Financial District hotspot during lunch. Great place to wine and dine potential clients in a welcoming and comfortable environment.

J.Pace & Sons (it is to be pronounced Pah-chay) is well known for its lasagna as well as its sandwiches. Inside, it's hardly any different from your normal sandwich shop. Hot sandwiches over there, cold over here, pay down there, next to the drink fridge. I usually head for their "Big Dig" sandwich, being prosciutto, basil, fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, oil and balsamic vinegar on a hefty Italian roll. It's one of their most expensive at $7.45, but after having one, you rarely need dinner. Very filling. The pastries aren't to rave about, but everything else is delish!
