Fried chicken sandwich at Porchetta & Co.
While the name may lead you to believe there are only porchetta sandwiches on the menu, that's far from true. This joint serves up one hell of fried chicken sandwich that you're going to want to sink your teeth into. Keep an eye on their Instagram, as they feature a new special each week.

Pizza at Forno Cultra
The pizza found at this Italian bakery is covered with a ton of toppings and a pitch-perfect crust (not too thin and not too thick). Enjoy slices topped with everything from zucchini to mushrooms and red onions.

Pho at Bac Ky
Pho is naturally a staple at this Vietnamese restaurant. Order up a bowl in either beef, chicken or vegetable and luxuriate in the silky broth.

Empanadas at La Merceria

Fish and chips at The One That Got Away
The fish and chips is a must-try at this fast casual eatery. Choose between haddock, arctic char, cod, halibut or pickerel alongside a mountain of crisp fries beside your catch.

Burritos at Fat Bastard Burrito
If you plan on visiting this burrito joint on your lunch break prepare to get stuffed. Burritos are available in 'Lil, Big and Huge and even the Lil is more than substantial. Choose your size then pick your choice of meat, veggies and toppings.
