Cheers plus Harvard Faculty Club equals Joe's American Bar and Grill. Brass trim complements old, dark wood, and dim lighting is provided by chandeliers precisely calculated so as not to match. The menu is generic and meaty, offering staples from fries to 16oz. sirloins ($22). Get a table by a window and relax in one of their comfy leather chairs. Downstairs, a less formal crowd gathers around a central bar for cheaper food and cold malted goodness. Entrees $7-23.

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. It targets the fake tan girls and the yadoods that seem to spontaneously multiply. 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. You can impress a date or have your parents pick up the tab here. Prime New York Sirloin, $30. Meticulously made appetizers include a delightful crispy coconut shrimp, $13.

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.

Souper Salad has the basics covered. Salad bar with all the fixins, hearty soups that warm you up, and a variety of sandwiches. A good, quick place to grab a bite when you can manage to sneak out of the office for a few minutes. Locations throughout the city with prices ranging from $4-$8. Can get very busy lunchtime during the work week.

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.

At this bar “with an attitude,” you'll meet an unabashedly loud, obnoxious, and crude crowd (“All in good fun!”). Dick's sports a Southern feel, but don't come for the hospitality; the staff takes pleasure in harassing patrons, and it says something about the patrons that they keep coming back. Not the best place to go if you have taste, or if you like a decently-priced pint, though food is reasonable and served in quantity. 52 foreign and domestic beers, with 8 on draft ($6-7.50, refills $4.50). Live music provided by the house band most nights. No cover. By its own admission the “Shame O' the Back Bay,” Dick's prides itself on buckets o' grub, no bull, and a waitstaff that acts like, well, dicks. Check your dignity at the door and prepare to pay for the worst service you'll ever find as you devour a hearty selection of good, greasy food (think ribs, steak, chicken, and seafood) amidst the filth of thrown napkins and food fight residue. When your mouth isn't full, sing along with the great music selection or giggle as your fellow patrons get humiliated. Grab a drink from the long bar to dull the ego blows, or retreat to the campy bathroom, complete with naughty goodie dispensers. A great place for birthdays or other group events, Dick's will force members of the party to wear giant paper hats scribbled with insults (“I sleep with my mother”; “Hung like a gerbil”), among other exercises in humility. Su brunch (10am-3pm; $16) features various carnivorous delights as well as a plethora of desserts. Free validated parking after 5pm. Entrees $5-26.

Rattlesnake is one of the only roof-top bars in Backbay. Serving up drinks and food on three different levels (including a second level pool area), Rattlesnake has a little bit of "scene" for everyone. The first level is crowded- with after-work drinkers. In the summer, the floodgates are open and people pile in to get a spot on the covetted spot on the deck. The menu features grilled pizzetas, burgers, and sandwiches (all of the south of the border influence. Link to the Dinner Menu
