the winter is surely here. after digging out from the snow, find some home cooking, get on a roll and hit the books with this list of february eats.
home cooking.
just when we thought somerville was becoming too trendy to bear, along comes highland
kitchen. the resto's exposed brick walls and old-school jukebox keep the scene relaxed, yet far from kitschy. it's the place to go if you're craving a comforting pulled pork sandwich or blue cheese fondue. now open. 150
highland avenue. at central. 617.625.1131.

on a roll.
your trainer said you can eat carbs again when pigs fly. luckily for you, the maine-based bakery has made it happen. their newest davis square location offers specialty breads (kalamata olive roasted pepper and organic cinnamon raisin), shipped directly from the oven up north. so go ahead, pig out. now open. 378b
highland avenue. between west and cutter. 617.776.0021.

catch of the day.
the former site of the US trust bank is now home to oceanaire
seafood room. it's a spot that boasts a complete oyster bar and tradish caviar service. the columns, marble details and vaulted ceilings of the stately structure are reminiscent of a scene from titantic, but don't bank on catching any glimpses of leo. this financial district gem is sure to be a fave for brokers at lunch. now
open. 40 court street. at tremont. 617.742.2277.

in the raw.
there's no doubt that green is the new black. and that doesn't exclude food. get your fill of feel-good, earthy-crunchy goodness at the north end's newest spot, grezzo (meaning raw). the menu changes weekly and is comprised completely of vegan versions of italian faves, such as gnocchi alfredo and butternut ravioli. you may not be feeling the vegan vibe, but we dare you to try to pass up the organic wines. opens
february 13. 69 prince street. at salem. 857.362.7288.

hit the books.
cambridge's z square comes to kenmore square. it's located in the heart of a boston university stomp, but after a wild night, you'll climb over the students for apple-cinnamon crepes or oatmeal pancakes. look out for outdoor seating in the spring. now
open. 580 commonwealth avenue. near beacon. 617.425.0101. www.z-square.com
