A "clam shack" in the city. Go for the lobster and fried clams, not crab. It's a great place for a late lunch on a sunny afternoon, sitting on the deck with food and a local microbrew and watching the boats go by. Occasional live music performances (call for details). Daily for lunch and dinner. $-$$. Most major credit cards. 88 Sleeper St. (near Northern Avenue and Fort Point Channel, Courthouse T station on the Silver Line), Boston.
