Lunch launches at this Charlestown Greek. On offer weekdays from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM, the menu abounds in skewers, salads and Greek-style pizzas; prices rarely exceed $10.
An attractive sibling of this Theater District Thai now occupies the former Argana space in Inman Square (1287 Cambridge St.; 617-868-1240).
This Somerville seafooder has moved to a new, larger location in Davis Square – now there's even more wall space for those ocean-themed murals (215 Elm St., Somerville; 617-776-5020).

This Southborough trattoria has opened a gourmet market: located a few doors down in the same building at 154 Turnpike Road, Panzano Provviste e Vino not only stocks products imported from Italy but also prepares deli items and ready-to-cook dinners for takeaway (508-485-8884).
The Financial District finds a Tuscan steakhouse in its midst as this Italian revamps its repertoire to emphasize meat, meat and more meat, from almond flour–crusted rack of lamb to a classic bistecca Fiorentina; housemade salumi will also play a larger role on the menu.
This South End New American now serves brunch on Saturdays (10 AM–3 PM) too; in addition to the menu offered on Sundays, there's an $11.95 prix fixe that includes coffee, juice, housemade cinnamon-swirl sour cream coffee cake and your choice of three entrees.
