Liquor Store · Fenway - Kenmore - Audubon Circle - Longwood · 11 tips and reviews
Al S: Fenway's best beer shop. Lots of local options, including Night Shift and (sometimes) Trillium. Good Belgian and sour selection. They often keep the really good (and pricey) stuff behind the counter.

Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurant · Chinatown - Leather District · 94 tips and reviews
