Blunch 'n' munch

We love secret little neighborhood joints, but we just can't keep Blunch (59 East Springfield Street, Boston, 617.247.8100) to ourselves any longer. Local restaurant veteran Nikki Christo fixes fresh, casual breakfast and lunch dishes, including egg sandwiches, house-made granola, soups, salads, and pressed sandwiches like the Wilbur ($6.50), a cheesy BLT, and the Bird ($6.75), sliced chicken breast with fontina cheese, oven-roasted tomatoes, and artichoke aioli. Blunch is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. As word spreads, Sundays may be in the cards, too. The restaurant seats 12 (with outdoor space once the weather permits), and airy windows make for great people-watching. Don't fault Christo for closing shop early; she's up at 5 a.m. every day adding "Today's Whims" to http://www.eatblunch.com/.
