South End Buttery

You may see her later through the windows of the Buttery Bar + Bistro, looking much restored.

Still a cafe during the day, the South End Buttery expanded its mission in August, adding space and nighttime hours. Its neighborhood is a destination for people looking to Go Out, full of trendy bars and restaurants. But it's also very much a neighborhood, and a tier of restaurants exists primarily to serve those who live here. They're not necessarily the kind of place you head across town for in a stylish outfit. They're the kind of place you go when you live nearby, you've had a day, and you'd rather unwind with friends than make a halfhearted stir-fry.
