FOOD FOR THOUGHT

🌃 A night out (or in) with Lyons Group

Whether you're dining in style or dialing it in from your couch, any Lyons Group-owned establishment knows how to serve up a good time — and we’re here to walk you through some of their must-try spots in the city. Consider this your itinerary for a night that will leave your mood high and your stomach full.

FIRST STOP

🥘 Dinner at Rochambeau. 

Look, life’s too short to skimp on the good stuff — and Rochambeau definitely has some of the best French cuisine in Boston. Situated in the heart of Back Bay (right next to the Pru), it’s the kind of place you’ve probably walked past a hundred times, dreaming of those beautiful Parisian-style dinners. But here’s the twist: you don’t have to pay an arm and a leg for tiny portions. Sure, the prices aren’t exactly pocket change, but you’re getting a luxury dining experience that will leave you satisfied (and with plenty of leftovers to spare). Plus, for those nights when you’d rather eat truffled burrata in pajamas instead of a Parisian-inspired dining room — it’s all just a few taps away on DoorDash.

Things to try:

• Truffled Burrata (because if there’s any way to make cheese even better, it’s with truffle)

• Pan-Roasted Statler Chicken (crispy skin, juicy meat, chef’s kiss)

• Steak Frites (which includes a NY strip, salad, warm baguette, and bottomless rosemary-salted fries. Yes, bottomless)

NEXT UP

🍸 Drinks at Lucky’s Lounge. 

After you wrap up dinner, head to Seaport for drinks at everyone’s favorite dive bar-speakeasy-hybrid: Lucky’s Lounge. It’s a slightly different vibe than the European-chic Rochambeau, but — as every regular can probably attest — this is where you stumble into the best night ever. Pro tip: Show up by 7 p.m. for free comedy on Mondays or Trivia on Tuesdays and laugh/quiz your way through a cocktail (or three). Not feeling the trek out? Let DoorDash deliver your favorite bar bites to pair with your own DIY martini or spritz at home.

Things to try:

• Espresso Martini (an oldie but a goodie) 

• Swifties Spritz (for those in their Reputation era) 

• Firecracker (it’s spicy, just like you)

LAST STOP

🍩 Back Door Donuts.

Unless you want to wake up tomorrow with a headache, you’re going to want a little something before heading home. Luckily, serving mouth-watering pastries to tipsy bar crawlers in Fenway is Back Door Donuts’ specialty. Open nightly from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. (or open at 4 p.m. on Red Sox game days), this place was practically made for late-night cravings. Just walk up to the window on the corner next to Loretta’s Last Call and order a box with one of everything. It’s the only way to get the full experience.

Things to try:

• Apple Fritter (it’s the most popular for a reason) 

• Maple Bacon Donut (breakfast and dessert in one bite) 

• Party Donut (it tastes exactly like it sounds)

🌟  And for those who'd rather skip the headache of a Boston night out (we see you, and we understand), you can get all this goodness delivered right to your couch via DoorDash. Because really, who has the energy to leave the house now that the sun is setting before 5 p.m.?
