Boston: City Landing and Mike's Pastry
See it on One for the Table's Boston ReviewsLet's Eat by Kitty Kaufman, photos by Roseanna Spizzirri

We understand you're sightseeing at Faneuil Hall but eschew fast food and come over for real lunch. This is summer in the city fine dining even in sneakers. We're at the window with an eye on street drama of which there is plenty and though we cannot hear, we can read lips. We're having lunch: Roseanna's crab salad is topped with avocado, egg, fennel, bacon and tomato. It's easy being green here. She's clever, ordering a side of sweet potato fries. It turns out fries are the best and there are almost enough of them.



Almond paste marzipan fruit is psychedelically colored. We buy ricotta pie with a cornmeal crust sweeter than cheesecake, Florentines, pistachio cookies and Jim's favorite - lobster tail puffs with custard filling. The ones we happen to buy are covered in dark chocolate, because they look good, and later it turns out he really likes them without chocolate. I'll remember next time.
