EDIT: because some people are very concerned about it in the comments, I do not work for the globe. I just read articles from it sometimes and they don’t have a great article gifting solution. Go eat pizza wherever you think it’s tasty and touch some grass on the way, it’s not that deep.

EDIT 2: before yet another person whines about the Globe and their paywall, go read other comments with either non paywalled links or info for how to access the globe through your library. And, if you’ve made it this far, reminder that I STILL don’t work for the globe. Just a longtime reader of it and a believer in supporting local journalism.

Hi there! It's Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend and we would love to celebrate.

We aren't looking for a traditional turkey meal, but rather something with a Fall vibe - think rustic, warm, cozy, farm to table-esque. Maybe a fireplace.

We usually go to Gibbet Hill Grill in Groton, but alas it's all booked up. It's possible I've left it too late, but it can't hurt to try.

Hi! Three of us from London, UK are spending one night in Boston in November as part of a NYC/Salem road trip and I’d love some local recommendations.

We’ll have had a late lunch/early dinner at Turner’s Seafood in Salem at around 2:30pm, so we definitely won’t want another full dinner when we arrive in Boston that evening.

We have Bubble Bath booked for cocktails at 8:30pm, so we’re looking for somewhere we can have light bites / small plates / picky bits at around 7–7:30pm and still get to our reservation comfortably.

We’re staying at the Canopy by Hilton Boston Downtown, so somewhere that works naturally between the hotel and Bubble Bath would be ideal. We’re also happy to walk or take a short taxi if somewhere is particularly worth it.

One of us is vegetarian (no fish), so she needs a few genuinely good options rather than one token vegetarian dish. The other two of us eat pretty much everything and particularly love seafood.

We’re coming from London, so rather than somewhere we could easily replicate at home, I’d love somewhere that feels Boston/New England-ish, or just somewhere you think is particularly worth experiencing when you only have one night in the city.

We don’t need anything fancy. We’re saving that part of the evening for cocktails. Somewhere with good food and atmosphere where we can order a few things to share without committing to another full meal would be perfect.

If you had friends visiting from London for just one night, where would you send them for a few bites before cocktails?
