With 2019 drawing to a close, the Eater staff has been reflecting a lot on the best new restaurants of the year, the hottest dining neighborhoods, and such. While we do try to cover the Boston area’s old stalwarts when we can, it’s the “hot” and “new” spots that grab a lot of our attention thanks to the types of coverage the job tends to require. That said, we’re not dining out at new restaurants every night, and we probably enjoy takeout and delivery as much as the average city-dweller.

Sugar & Spice Thai Restaurant
“I ate a lot of Thai food in 2019; much of it was from Porter Square’s Sugar & Spice (and a couple other spots that also appear on this map). Sugar & Spice has long been on my delivery standby list — and it’s nice for dining in, too, especially in the summer on its colorful sidewalk patio — but it really upped its game in 2019 with a new menu that digs into a few specific regions of Thailand. The guay jub is my go-to item; it’s a five-spice soy broth packed with crispy pork, tofu, a boiled egg, and rolled-up rice noodles. Other top picks are the kuay teow lui suan, chicken and herbs wrapped up in rice noodles and served with a spicy lime dipping sauce; the kow yum, a vegan salad with rice, herbs, fruits, vegetables, fried tofu, and an herb vinaigrette; and crying tiger, spicy grilled beef with sticky rice.”
