Help Fight Malaria
For many of us, mosquitoes mark the return of summer. For others, they represent a threat to survival. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 50 percent of the world’s population is at risk of contracting malaria. Most deaths occur among children living in Africa, where a child dies every minute of malaria.

SONSIE
Sonsie
celebrates eighteen years on Boston’s famous Newbury Street serving top-notch International cuisine from award-winning Chef Bill Poirier. Open seven days a week from 7:00am to 1:00am, Sonsie boasts beautiful French doors that translate to an open sidewalk cafe in season, as well as a European lounge with deep leather chairs and sofas. The mahogany bar serves the best martinis in town from an experienced lot of friendly bartenders and the brick-oven churns out eclectic pizzas and focaccia throughout the day. It is easy to relax at Sonsie and enjoy the classic music that reflects the ambience of the restaurant as day progresses into night. Chef Poirier’s menu always introduces fresh flavors and brilliant food combinations. Signature dishes dot the menu as well as seasonal dishes splashed with nightly specials.
DAVIO’S NORTHERN ITALIAN STEAKHOUSE
Boston, MA is where Davio’s was born. And, in essence, re-born. Once on Newbury Street, in Brookline, and in Cambridge, Davio’s now resides in Park Square, and serves as an elegant oasis from the hustle and bustle just outside our doors. Stop in and have a drink after work in our welcoming lounge. The white table cloths of our spacious, relaxed dining room serve as the perfect stage for Davio’s signature Northern Italian steaks, veal chops, and handmade pasta creations. Additional theatrical flair is provided by our lively, open kitchen layout. Attention to detail and attentiveness to your needs is evident in everything we do.
CAFETERIA
At Cafeteria , our menu is a modern interpretation of classic soul-satisfying American dishes prepared with organic grass-fed beef and lamb, free-range chicken, the freshest seafood and organic, local produce. These properly raised ingredients behave perfectly with a new world of herbs, spices and culinary techniques to create deeply satisfying comfort food for the new millennium.
CLIO
Clio features creative contemporary French cuisine with a global touch from Executive Chef Ken Oringer and Chef de Cuisine Douglas Rodrigues. Killer cocktails at the bar by Todd Maul.
TICO
A place that doesn't take itself too seriously, Tico has a fun, sexy atmosphere, delicious and unpretentious food, amazing cocktails, cold beer, lots of tequila, cool music and great people watching. Tico is all about your good time. Conceived by Chef/Owner Michael Schlow (Radius, Via Matta, Alta Strada) and designed by David Manfredi of Elkus-Manfredi Architects, Tico is a new and exciting style of restaurant; American at its core, the menu is influenced by Schlow's travels and love for Spain, Mexico and South America.
