My Favorite Inman Square Haunts
It’s no secret that I think Inman Square in the coolest square on this side of the river. Having lived here on and off since 2004, I have really come to know and love the local businesses, the food, and just the overall charm of the ‘hood. There are just so many good things happening here these days, perhaps more good things than ever before. I wanted to take a moment and share my favorite Inman outposts.
If you are in Inman and you find yourself hungry you can literally get anything you could possibly want within a one-mile radius. Tacos? Check. Indian? Oh yes. Asian? We got it. Amazing sandwiches? Uh huh. Italian? Oh my goodness yes! My personal favorite haunts include Trina’s Starlite Lounge for good cheap burgers, Sloppy Joe Wednesdays, and fab classic cocktails. My spot for Italian food is City Girl Cafe– they serve these Currant & Sage Sliders that will make you cry with delight. I can’t not mention All Star Sandwich Bar who whip up some of the best homemade French fries you have ever had– to go with their enormous awesome sandwich menu of course. 1369 Coffee House has been my go-to for over 7 years and they get it all right all of the time.
Then there’s the shops! Of course Boutique Fabulous is at the top of my list, how could it not be? Just the other day my bestie and I were there visiting and oohing and ahhing over all the goodies and she snagged a pair of white bunny earmuffs that are both adorable and warm. Score! My other favorite Inman store is Lorem Ipsum Books. I could sit for hours on one of their convenient couches and read. What is better than being surrounded by hundreds of books while you lounge or browse? As long as you’re very careful you can bring your tea in with you– bonus! The kids that work there are lovely and knowledgable, and the ambiance is relaxed and easy.
If you have somehow never ventured off the red line to check out Inman Square, you are seriously missing out. A mere mile from Central Square, it is worth the walk. I suggest taking Inman Street in from Central, as it’s a much nicer walk than taking Prospect. I hope to see you soon in our square, do say hi if you see me out and about!
Until next time,
