The Boston College Club is situated on the 36th floor of the Bank of America building in the financial district. This luxurious private club was built by very powerful BC alumni. The sweeping views from the main dining room are not to be missed if you are lucky enough to have a member invite you to join along!

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!

Enter this Rebecca's through the Franklin Street side. This branch is really big and people like coming here after the lunch rush and people like to sit and read for a while. It has a carpet and nice soft seats along the perimeter. The staff gets pretty distracted here though and so for good service I'd go to the one on High Street. If you just want a muffin and a cup of decaf, though, this Rebecca's is fine. If you come just after lunch you can watch client meetings in progress.

Cosi's make-your-own sandwiches come in one, two, or three toppings, and although they are delicious, they don't come cheap. Kids will love the bread, which is baked in a wood-burning oven before your eyes. It's almost always warm and delicious. Toppings such as curry chicken, smoked salmon, and caramelized onion are in abundance, but standard fare is available, too. For dessert, try the ultimate "sandwich": marshmellows, Hershey bars, and graham crackers, served with a mini crackling fire and an iron pot for melting. This location has an outdoor patio and seating area...of of the few in the Financial District.

The best bagels around- check out the chowder!

They usually have some random drink/cookie/breakfast cake to sample for free while you wait and the people who work at the counter make your day a little better - I always get a smile which as lame as it sounds is so refreshing.
