Bistros and bars between the row houses

Tremont Street and Washington Street are the South End’s dining streets, with bistros, bars and cafés set into the ground floors of the row houses. Columbus Avenue adds neighborhood spots, and toward Harrison Avenue, SoWa’s old factory buildings and the Ink Block, on the former newspaper site, have newer restaurants.

The work covers the whole restaurant: line and prep cooks, dishwashers, servers, hosts, bartenders and baristas. Bakeries and cafés start their day early, while bars and dining rooms close late, so there are shifts at both ends of the day for people who need them.

Getting there without a car works well. The Silver Line runs down Washington Street, the 43 bus follows Tremont Street from Park Street to Ruggles, and the Orange Line stops at Back Bay and Massachusetts Avenue, on the Southwest Corridor side of the neighborhood.
