Upscale American fare, live jazz & renowned 360-degree views from the top of the Prudential Center. Very pricey but worth it for the experience. Request a window table for the best views of Boston. You can also sit at the bar for drinks if you don't want to splurge on the meal.

Best pizza in Boston, as long as you don't factor in the service. It's not fancy, but it's an experience. They probably won't offer you a menu; they will give you one if you ask but they won't be happy. Old school Boston culture, awesome pizza.
