the red sox aren't the only winners this month. enjoy summer in the fall, meet at the cafeteria and repent your savory sins with these november picks:
A to Z.
get inspired with the new z square opening this month. chef scott roberts leans towards cali-style food from breaktast to dinner. actually from 8am until midnight most days. quell a late-night craving with swordfish kebabs, sweet crepes or coconut fried tilapia. it's upstairs for casual and cozy, or downstairs for a more refined vibe. opens
early november. 580 commonwealth avenue. near blandford. no phone yet.

little italy.
burlington is getting a taste of tuscany with the newly opened l'andana. chefs jamie mammano (of mistral and teatro) and david blessing (of the four seasons) have teamed up to introduce this italian grill. dark wood and chandeliers give this resto a rustic feel. think of it as sophistication in the burbs. try the veal chop or the truffle parmesan fries, and don't forget to eye the sizable wine list. now open. 86 cambridge street. near arlington. 781.270.0100. www.landanagrill.com
lunch lady land.
this cafeteria doesn't serve mystery meat. cafeteria boston is a med café that boasts a new take on italian-american fare. sure, there are standbys like pizza. but originals like the autumn risotto and other seasonal dishes will warm up winter. feeling raw? try a zesty take on asian tuna tartar. located in the heart of the newbury street scene, you'll look forward to cafeteria more than curly fries fridays. opens early november. 279a newbury street. at gloucester. 617.536.2233. www.cafeteriaboston.com
changing seasons.
mark gaier and clark frasier are the chef and owners of arrows restaurant in maine. lucky for us they're bringing their talent south with the introduction of summer winter in burlington. standard new england cuisine is boosted by an in-house greenhouse (rather, balcony) that provides seasonal veggies year round. forget autumn. summer winter is in this fall. opens
november 8. 1 mall road. at lexington. 781.221.6643.
like a prayer.
you may want to go to confessional after a sinfully delicious visit to church, the new part bar, part bistro and part music venue. chef andy beer cooks up eclectic dishes under the glow of stain-glassed windows. nibble on organic salmon or a caramelized onion tart. if all the hallelujahs give you dry-mouth, there's an extensive wine list as well as the seven deadly sins cocktail list. (envy, made with kiwi and cukes, is of course, green). now
open. 69 kilmarnock street. between queensberry and peterborough. 617.236.7600.
