Main Street Pasta & Wine

Charlestown

Thanks to its co-owners' past kitchen experience at L'Espalier, this pasta shop opened to much fanfare. You'll leave with everything you need to make a meal—fresh pasta, meatballs, sauce, and a bottle of wine (or beer) from upstairs.

Polcari's Coffee

North End
If you're not able to kill a whole afternoon sipping cappuccino, this circa 1932 spot sells dried goods by the pound—coffees, teas, herbs, and spices (their secret dipping oil mix is well-known) displayed in antique brass bins—as well as a variety of nuts and Italian delicacies and candies.
