The Federal
Let's face it: there's a lot of generic sandwich 'n pizza shops in Boston. And it's usually impossible to know what you're getting into just by checking out the menu. Nine times out of 10, it's just kind of blah. But once in a while, you find a place that actually offers something different, something that someone actually put their heart into, their blood, sweat, and tears (not literally, of course. Though that would be original...). This place is The Federal. While the pizza isn't really anything amazing, the pressed sandwiches are another story. Piled high with lots of meat and veggies, melty and delicious, just the way I like 'em. And definitely be sure to get it on their homemade foccacia, The Federal's preeminent menu offering. The Federal is brought to you by owner of Union Street's Tap, who wanted to downscale into an easier-to-manage endeavor while still serving up awesome grub. Well, with these mad sandwiches on that delightful foccacia, I'd say he can mark down The Federal as a triumph.
