Chef Monica Glass is Boston's gluten-free pastry magician. She and chef Ken Oringer opened Verveine, a completely gluten-free cafe and bakery, in 2024, and she's been churning out baguettes, cinnamon buns, and hand pies ever since. The cafe is a haven for celiacs, but it's become a crowd favorite among diners of all diets thanks to creative flavor profiles and regular specials.
Named after the 34th row of oysters in Duxbury Bay, Row 34 is obsessed with serving the highest quality, local ingredients - including the freshest seafood possible - to its customers. Co-owner and chef, Jeremy Sewall, grew up on the coast of Maine and opened Row 34 in 2013. His cousin supplies the lobsters for the restaurant's five locations, and Sewall has cultivated relationships with fishing communities up and down the coast. The team's commitment to finding the best seafood does not go unnoticed.
