In addition to the places noted in the article, don't overlook Tivoli's Bistro at 121 Exchange Street. This intimate little gem has been around for several years and is a great spot for a romantic dinner. A relative newcomer is John Brewer's Tavern at 7 Highland Avenue. Located outside of Malden Square, it is a great alternative to Hugh O'Neill's. There's also a great mix of smaller enthic restaurants throughout the city. Diversity is the spice of life.</p> <img src="http://stuffboston.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=200848" width="1" height="1">
