City Bar is a posh, small, hotel bar inside the Lenox Hotel. Barely lit, the bar is a go-to for seductive dates and expensive drinks to impress and set the tone. There are tables and lounge style sofas, but the coveted seats are at the bar. Reminds me a little bit of a library, maybe it's the dark wood, assortment of couches and armchairs. City-Bar is a dependable date spot for those who enjoy seeing and being seen while dropping serious bucks on serious drinks. City Bar is a single, square room. Everyone sees you, you see them. Nice label clothes on average looking people. When crowded, the small room radiates a carnal vibe.

This restaurant is across from the Prudential Mall. Uno's in Uno's, there isn't much more to say about the chain deep-dish pizza place. The most interesting thing about this location, however, is that they now serve breakfast. It's basically an a-la-carte breakfast (cereal, croissants, coffee, tea, fruit) with a menu for things like eggs and pancakes.

Going to Stephanie's is like going to see a cheesey action flick - you have to be in the right frame of mind to see it right? Well, you have to be in the Newbury Street frame of mind to eat here.

Try out your new pink polo at this upscale eatery on the front porch of Newbury St. With indoor and outdoor dining, it's a great place to eat regardless of the weather, or occasion for that matter.

The bathrooms have unusual signage, so instead of the usual look for a slip (women), and for men a pair of boxers. If you are cold, they will bring you soft brown blankets to wear.

The Vox is the perfect place to see and be seen. Although quite the meat market, if you are in the mood to schmooze it up and look your best on a Saturday night, it is a fun place as an outing with friends. Serving 27 of the most creative martinis around in a hip but unpretentious milieu, this swanky bar is Boylston Street's “It” spot. A mostly twenty- and thirty-something crowd fills the bar on weekend nights to down $9 martinis. It kind of has that 'beautiful people' vibe going on... which can be oh so good, and can also be a complete nightmare. There are some creepy types who frequent the place hoping to pick up the aforementioned beautiful people, but thankfully they are amusing to watch. Granted, the drinks are expensive, but with such tempting varieties as the Tiramisu Martini and White Crantini (a clear martini made for men who “don't want to be seen with a pink drink”), who can resist? 8 types of scotch ($8-14), 12 bottled beers and 6 on tap, traditional cocktails ($6-9), and wine by the glass ($7.50-10.50) provide ample variety for those morally opposed to martinis. Thanks to Vox Pop's massive space there's always a quiet corner to retreat to, even on busy weekend nights. No cover.

This is a cute restaurant with limited seating, making the experience extra special. The menu varies with the season, but almost never fails to satify. Creative ingridients superbly put together. A great first date place, just make sure you go early to get a table. There is a patio in the summer, and take out is available.

A local French bistro with classic decor and a great selection of appetizers and entrees. Tucked below street level where you have a great view of some of the Back Bay's outstanding buildings, and you can watch the Newbury Street window shoppers pass by. Tables are available downstairs near the bar or upstairs in an open, but not-too-noisy atmosphere. A nice selection of wine is available by the glass, half bottle or full bottle. Some menu favorites include the Bouchee burger with foie gras, mussles in white wine sauce with cherry tomatoes, or any of the flatbread pizzas. If you manage to have room left for dessert, there's tarte tartin, creme brulee, and other French treats. Outdoor dining is also available in season. Reservations are recommended on weekends, and can be made on Open Table.

This is a "sports bar" at the Marriott. Ultimately, the whole idea of a sports bar is to share beers with people who like the same teams you do and get fired up. You don't get that at Champions because most people here are business travelers staying at the Marriott. While Champions certainly could never be confused for an English pub, they do have just about every channel out there, booths with private TVs and volume, and NEWCASTLE IN PITCHERS FOR $18!

The Oak Room is adorned with gold, maroon and green fabrics and draperies that complement the dark wood paneling and mirrored walls.

The Oak Bar has been recently restored and is reminiscent of a British Officer's Club in the Orient. The same dark wood paneling and mirrors that flank the Oak Room are offset in the Oak Bar by smooth marble. Heraldry symbols decorate the ornately gilded and painted coffered ceiling. The furniture and décor create an inviting atmosphere to enjoy a relaxing drink or close a business deal. The dress code is business casual, but after 6pm, no shorts, cut out or tank top T-shirts, hats and sport sandals.
