Default One night in Boston....where do I eat?

I will be in Boston friday night and want to find a good place to eat.

I would like to eat some place that serves more regional food, but if you know of some place that I have to eat at then let me know.

Some preferences are less than $75 per plate. I also would like to avoid any Japanese/Chinese/mexican food (I get enough of that in the bay area).

If you like seafood, try Legal Seafood.

Is this a level?

The one time I visited Boston, I ate there and thought it was really great. Since then, I've heard that it is somewhat disdained by locals as "touristy." Is that true?

I liked it a lot, but I was a tourist when I went there FWIW.

Lots of cities have Legal Sea Foods. I would guess it's the equivalent of going to Morton's for a steak in Chicago. It's good, but I'm sure there are better/less touristy places.

for amazing Mediteranean/Middle Eastern food, try Oleana in Cambridge. I saw Amy Poehler there Friday night, she's cute.

So jealous. No GOB with her?

Drew,

probably mostly [censored] say that. I know a lot of locals who enjoy it. If they complain about anything, it's the crowds, but that's true at most good places to eat.

I think it might be disdained because the chain is growing across the country and people may feel it's lost some local cache. I know other locals (generally older folks) feel Legal's is pricey for seafood, so they'll look down on it too. All I know is I've yet to be disappointed eating at Legal's.
