One of the many storefront businesses emerging within the new Lincoln Plaza, Al's State Street Cafe opened up its second location (aptly called Al's South Street Cafe) on the corner of Essex and South Street in Boston's Leather District. The joint boasts a "Bag Lunch" deal which includes a 10 inch sub, a 20 oz. soda and chips for $6.50. Here's the write up for the original State Street staple: Al's is the Cheers (circa 1970s) of sandwich shops in Boston; where everyone knows your name (and preferences). Food is of high quality, service is efficient, value is great, and the location is convenient to Government Center, the Financial District, and the Waterfront. It gets really crowded around lunchtime but the crowd is well worth it.

}} This family-owned delicatessen is in the heart of Boston’s Leather District. Figaro’s specializes in Italian specialty sandwiches with clever names like The Pavarotti (imported prosciutto and fresh mozzarella) and The Sinatra (hot ham and American cheese). Figaro’s also boasts a great breakfast menu which includes The Ultimate (a fried egg and cheese on a bagel with hash browns) and a killer breakfast burrito.
