Massachusetts Jewish Tavern Named One of the Best New Restaurants in America – Let’s Peep the Menu!

Author Beasley Media Editorial

Esquire Magazine released it’s annual Best New Restaurants in America list this week, comprised of the 50 new restaurants in America that got Esquire drooling all over their pages. And low and behold a Massachusetts eatery made the list! So let’s learn more about this Massachusetts mouthwatering munchery, Lehrhaus at 425 Washington Street in Somerville.

Lehrhaus is a Jewish Tavern and house of learning. That’s exactly what it sounds like. They serve delicious food (that’s most of what got this place on the list) and they offer classes for spiritual learning. Not all the classes are heavy lifting. They offer classes with contemporary and interesting twists such as The Search for Extraterrestrial Life and its Jewish Implications, Lit Yiddish Hanukkah Songs, and even How to Write a Jewish Joke. For more info on these and more classes CLICK HERE to head to the classes section of Lehrhaus’s website.

I love the spirit of the restaurant and I haven’t even set foot in it yet (but I will and SOON). Under their FAQ section one of the questions asks: “I’m not Jewish, can I come to Lehrhaus?” The answer is perfect: “Of course! Just like you don’t have to be French to enjoy a French restaurant, you don’t have to be Jewish to enjoy a Jewish tavern and house of learning.” All are welcome.

Now… about the food. Under nibbles Lehrhaus features Deviled Eggs (I love seeing those on a menu even though I don’t eat them), Old Bay fries, and a smoked salmon plate, among other options. Entrees range from their BEET “PASTRAMI” REUBEN featuring sauerkraut, melted swiss, and russian dressing for $17 to FISH & CHIPS for $24, and their STUFFED DELICATA SQUASH with
jeweled rice, sabzi lentils, and a taamarind tahini for $23. The restaurant only opened this past March and also features a really fun cocktail list.

Congratulations on the huge nod, Lehrhaus! I can’t wait to come taste your food.

This Eatery Was Just Named the Best (non-chain) Budget Restaurant in Massachusetts

I don’t know about you but I have definitely not made sense (or cents) of this whole inflation thing. The sticker shock I feel leaving the grocery store after doing my weekly shopping is a very real thing. So while many of us have less to spend, finding affordable places to enjoy a meal out become harder and harder.

USA Today is on the case! They just released their Top Budget Restaurant in every state – a pretty handy guide to eating well state-by-state on a tight budget.

What is a budget restaurant?

USA Today analyzed Google ratings of 28,000 budget-friendly restaurants across 50 U.S. cities. The only qualifiers were that a restaurant has to be designated as one dollar sign on Google’s cost scale and have 200+ reviews.

What is the number one budget-friendly restaurant in America?

 

Other findings: Charley’s Cheesesteaks and Wings in Houston is the single highest ranked fast food location in America while KFC, Krystal and Papa John’s are the lowest rated fast food chains.

What are the best budget-friendly restaurants in New England?

Let’s dive into that now. I’ll give you the Top Budget Friendly restaurant in every New England state below. I don’t know about you but I’ll be bookmarking this page so the next time I’m traveling to Vermont or Maine or I’m in New Hampshire or Rhode Island I can seek out these delicious cheap eats and see if they live up to the USA Today hype.

Oh, before we get into the budget eats I thought I’d share this with you too. A little New England pride in a sandwich RIGHT HERE. I’ll put that sandwich up against any when you have that craving – and – it’s the ULTIMATE budget-friendly sandwich too!
