Neighbourhood: Davis Square
Are you there, Diesel? It's me, Tamar.
I've got a bone to pick with you. A marrowless vegan bone, of course, but a bone nonetheless. I would eat your sandwiches for every meal until I died. You know this. But here's what you might not know.…More »

Here's the thing about Diesel: it's great in theory. Who doesn't love the idea of Diesel? Not I.… Read more »
2. Darwin's Ltd.
Cambridge, MA 02138

Categories:
Sandwiches,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Harvard Square
My dilemma: I never quite want the sandwich that's presented on the menu. Ergo, in the midst of my regular ingredient-reshuffling, I stumbled upon a veritable gold mine of cross-cafe sandwiching.
You guys, we thought the Original Monkey Wrench was…More »
3. Grass Roots Cafe
Boston, MA 02110
(617) 951-2124
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I give this place five stars just for the pure glee of surprise.
Though it looked promising from the outside, then I walked through the doors and realized this was a little office building cafe that looked like an Us Weekly-and-burnt-coffee-sellin g…More »
4. Mediterranean Grill
Boston, MA 02110
(617) 338-4507
Category:
Mediterranean
Neighbourhood: Financial District
As has been expressed before (http://www.yelp.com/bi...), sometimes there's just nothing better than some Boar's Head turkey slapped 'tween some cheddar slices on a soft, sesame-seeded Italian roll. This place knows this, and is also a bastard, and…More »
5. Cafe Dino
Boston, MA 02109

Categories:
Sandwiches,
Bars
Neighbourhood: Financial District
Hey! You guys! Yoohoo, over here!!
As it has been remarked, Cafe Dino (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) has moved to Oliver Street, into the sad empty shell formerly known as "Pressed". Less pizza, more sammies, bigger space, fewer rooms, longer waits,…More »

Delis,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Harvard Square
Sigh. I'm so torn. On the one hand, the sandwiches are delicious, though expensive. The internet is blissfully free. The ambiance is nice. And the staff are all people I'd like to be able to get away with being. On the other hand, it's because…More »
7. Maria's Italian Cold Cuts
What do I want?
A big honking sandwich, devoid of schmancy crap, piled high on a soft Italian roll with fresh, nitrate-free Boar's Head turkey breast and some tangy cheddar, and nothing else (even if you have lettuce, tomatoes, onions, oils, salt &…More »
8. Hi-Rise Bread Company
Three stars are a deceptive mean. Some elements here are fantastic. Some are incredibly unpleasant. They don't cancel each other out. You pay a one-star price for a four-star sandwich. You wait in an incredibly awkward one-star line for a…More »
9. Woodstar Cafe
This little gem is my favorite NoHoian delight. In this order, it was the location of my Smith summer job interview, subsequent hiring, and high, rickety stool upon which my butt parked to study for my comprehensive exams all goddamn summer long.

Neighbourhood: Davis Square
Before this review begins, I have to admit a few things:
1. I am not a vegan.
2. I am not even a vegetarian.
3. I freely dine on the flesh of delicious animals without preamble.
So maybe I don't understand the appeal of Blue Shirt on every level--I know…More »

Category:
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Financial District
You know how all the salad dressing, mayonnaise, melty cheese, and all other various lunchtime accoutrements leave you feeling a little like this place's name? Well fortunately for you, irony has stepped in and made this one of the healthiest and…More »
12. True Grounds
Okay True Grounds. The following is what we in the corporate world call a "feedback sandwich." I'm going to give you two compliments to soften the blow of AREAS YOU DESPERATELY NEED TO IMPROVE UPON. You speak sandwiches, so I know you'll…More »

Good old True Grounds. The place I always forget to remember. I'm actually a huge fan, whenever I… Read more »
13. Deli-icious
Deli-incredible.
Deli-unbelievable.
Deli-orgasmic.
It's easy to write a place like this off as you walk by. It's nestled between a crappy Chinese restaurant and maybe a tax preparator, who cares? It's on your way into Davis, with not much to look at.…More »

Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Financial District
The lunchtime rush in the Financial District is an unholy clusterfuck. In rush pin-striped, well groomed, heels-clacking rich people (or their assistants), all chattering away, looking to speedily replenish their caloric intake to fuel another…More »
