BROOKLINE
loud almost all the time, and not just with North Enders sick of chicken parm; even
in the winter, I suggest planning for lunch or an early dinner on a weekday if you don't
enjoy waiting. Check out the daily specials listed on the chalkboard and mirrors, then
start with oysters, comparing specimens from both coasts (Pacific Northwest
Kumamotos, which taste the way the ocean smells, are my favorite). Main courses
include some menu standards, at least two of which aren't seafood, and dishes that
make good use of whatever's fresh that day. You might find something unfamiliar like
cod cheeks, exotic like sea urchin, or even familiar, like a lobster roll (cold with may-
onnaise or hot with butter—quite the dilemma). Neptune is a few steps off the Free-
dom Trail and easy to find: Look for the eye-catching display of ice, lemons, and
oysters in the front window and the crowd inside.

ITALIAN Plates of roasted vegetables draw your eye to the front window, and
the accompanying aromas will reel in the rest of you. Don't resist—this is a neighbor-
hood favorite for a reason, and a good stop for Freedom Trail walkers. The best appe-
tizer is a sampler of those gorgeous veggies. Move on to superb roasted meats or
bounteous home-style pasta dishes. Roast lamb,
penne alla puttanesca,
