I really like Boston Public Market, and it keeps getting better over time:

What I Love:
* The variety of vendors makes it easy for everyone in your group to find something they like.
* The open air feel. It's inviting and bustling at the same time, giving it a nice energy while not feeling overwhelming.
*Bon Me is reliable, delicious, and has generous portions.
*Boston Pastrami makes some of the best pastrami in the area. I like it better than Mamaleh' s
*Vikki Lee's is an allergy free bakery that actually tastes delicious. The chocolate chip cookie is amazing. Also cool that it was started by a high school kid :)
*They have Blacker's bakery Challah! Forget Cheryl Ann. This is the best Challah in the Boston area.

What still need to get better:
*There still isn't enough seating, and the venue still feels a bit cramped.
*Not enough trash cans, and those they have are not well marked (recycling or trash???).
*Some of the vendors are hit or miss (e.g., bagels were just ok, Taza isn't the best chocolate around, and I'm not impressed by union sq donuts.)

I haven't tried many of the spots. The fish guys are good. Looking forward to trying their fish and chips. Also need to try noodle lab. I haven't been to any of the educational or community events in the Kitchen, but I love the concept!
