Kitchens and counters from Copley to the Pru
Boylston Street is lined with larger restaurants and bars that fill up with the after-work crowd, so its evenings run long. Newbury Street is quieter, with cafés and smaller restaurants, more of them in the blocks toward Massachusetts Avenue, and plenty of daytime trade from shoppers.
Inside the Prudential Center and Copley Place, the food runs from counter service to sit-down restaurants and a large Italian market. The hotels around Copley Square and the Pru run their own kitchens, banquet rooms and room service, which means cooks, dishwashers and servers on early and late shifts.
The work includes line and prep cooks, dishwashers, servers, bussers, hosts, baristas and counter staff. Copley and Prudential on the Green Line, and Back Bay station on the Orange Line, are a short walk from almost all of it, and bus 55 runs the length of Boylston Street.
