local insider
Natalie Cox, a stylist at
Stephanotis Hair, likes
to warm up at The Soup
Guy Café (873 Bank
St.) where fresh soups
made daily go well with
a panini and a glass of
wine. She’s a fan of the
knowledgeable staff at
The Unrefined Olive
(151 Second Ave.) who
helps her pick the per-
fect premium olive oils
and balsamic vinegars.
And she recommends
The Joy of Gluten Free
(617 Bank St.), with its
delicious butter tarts,
corn tortillas, and pies.

or foie gras are great starters,
while the duck confit, suckling
pig, and Fogo Island cod round
out the hearty menu.
