Hundreds of artifacts provide standard museum fare: ceramic vases, platters and flowers, bronze pieces, and terra cotta soldiers, to name a few. The barest factual background traces China's vast history, emphasizing the enormity of both China's past as well as the subject of this exhibit...
...gregarious traditionalists will feel right at home at Durgin Park (340 N. Market St. and also 100 Huntington Ave., Boston), where diners sit elbow-to-elbow carving succulent prime ribs. And for the native New Yorker, Grill 23 (161 Berkeley St., Boston) serves Manhattan-style beef, veal, and seafood fare...
...sandwiches; the Coffee Connection for various melted sandwich extravaganzas to accompany the coffee or tea of your choice (as well as some amazingly buttery croissants); and the old favorite Souper Salad with its bountiful salad bar, light sandwiches and fresh breads.
