Find them in Allston (at Roadrunner on concert nights), in Back Bay (Clarendon Street by Trinity Church), downtown (at Faneuil Hall and the Theatre District/Tufts Medical Center at 135 Stuart St.), in the Fenway (163 Ipswich St.), near Northeastern (Huntington Ave. at Opera Place), and in the South End by Boston Medical Center (775 Harrison Ave.).

Openings:
In the Seaport,
the
Block at Woods Hill
(300 Pier 4 Boulevard) opens June 27. Restaurateur Kristin Canty and chef Charlie Foster operate Woods Hill Pier 4 next door; this new space of green-and-gold walls, flower murals, and tiled floors offers a more intimate experience. It has communal seating, smaller plates, and an in-house shop selling meat, charcuterie, and bone broth from the Farm at Woods Hill in New Hampshire. Expect a daytime menu offering that bone broth, salads, and sandwiches: artichoke panini, lobster rolls on toasted milk buns, hot fried chicken, and more. In the evening, there are charcuterie plates to nibble on with cocktails, mocktails, wine, and beer, along with dishes such as surf clam ceviche, beef carpaccio with tallow confit, crispy cauliflower with Buffalo dip, and flat iron steaks. The Block has an in-house dry-aging program for meat and fish; like its next door sibling, it also has a water view and a patio.
