Hidden Gems at Porter Square

Ah, Porter Square! Home to the largest Star Market this side of the Mississippi (well, until the BFresh opened up this month) and the infamous station stairs.

So many stairs! And this is only about half of them!

With the super market, stairs and the crazy intersection, it seems like you know all there is to know about this T stop.

Think again! 

Just steps from the station is the old Sears building, which has a collection of unique shops and eateries. Many of the restaurants are small Japanese establishments with limited seating. While the space is small the flavor is phenomenal. There are ramen shops, perfect for this unseasonably chill March weather. 

The building formally known as Sears

There are also Yoshoku eateries, which specialize in western-influenced plates like curry, hamburger steak and stews.

Curry! Yum! (and cheap!)

Just make sure to bring cash since many of these places don’t take credit card. 

Happy eating!!!
