More SoHo than Boston, Persephone, the new cafe tucked inside a swanky clothing boutique in the Seaport District, boasts sustainable New American cuisine by chef Michael Leviton (Lumière) served in small, medium, large and extra large portions that work well for sharing; low cushy seats create a loungey area by the bar, which specializes in sake and creative cocktails.
