Restaurant Row and beyond
Moody Street, running south from Central Square over the Charles River, is known locally as Restaurant Row. Its kitchens cook food from around the world: Japanese, Mexican, Latin American, Spanish, Malaysian and more. Line cooks, dishwashers, servers and hosts work here from lunch through dinner.
Main Street has cafés, noodle and sushi spots and tavern kitchens through downtown and out toward the Watertown line, and Lexington Street and River Street add pizza, sandwich and takeout places. Brandeis has dining halls and cafés on its campus off South Street, with food service work during the school year.
By Route 128, Totten Pond Road, Winter Street and Third Avenue have chain restaurants, steakhouses and hotel kitchens, and Market Place Drive has more chain dining. The 61 and the 70 serve these areas, though some restaurants sit a walk from the stop.
