Beery
Dexter’s Pub, 301 North St.
Revered for its fish fry, Dexter’s is also a great craft beer hangout. Order an obscure tap and some Hopalicious hummus, made with Ale Asylum’s Hopalicious and roasted red peppers. It comes with raw veggies and deep-fried pita chips for dipping.
Beefy
Crostini Sandwiches, 231 North St.
The Italian beef is among the best in town, served Chicago-style with “gravy” (jus) and giardiniera.
Vedge-ey
Tip Top Tavern, 601 North St.
The “Vedge” patty is chock full o’ nuts (walnuts and almonds), roasted mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red pepper, tahini and brown rice, topped with caramelized onions and a yogurt sauce, and sandwiched in an English muffin.
