According to the article, Esquire Magazine has picked Celeste in Somerville's Union Square as one of the best new restaurants in the country, placing it at number 5 among the 20 mentioned. The article says of the Bow Street eatery, "hospitality and home entertaining merge into an instant and intimate bash" and dinner there "is the most fun you'll have anywhere within twenty miles of Boston."
Celeste, which opened in March of this year, is known in part for its Peruvian fare along with its focus on the surrounding community including collaborations with local musicians and artists.

Esquire's 2017 Best Bars in America List Includes The Baldwin Bar in Woburn
A popular men's magazine has once again come out with its annual picks for best bars in America, and an award-winning spot in the Boston suburbs has made the list.
According to the article, Esquire Magazine has included The Baldwin Bar at Sichuan Garden in Woburn in its list of best bars, with editor Luke O'Neil saying "Picture the best Chinese-takeout restaurant you've been to....Now put that inside a New England Colonial mansion built in 1661. When you tack on one of the best cocktail bars in Massachusetts, it's almost an embarrassment of riches." O'Neil goes on to mention the "brown and bitter recipes in flasks served in cigar boxes" and "a glass egg filled with Aperol, absinthe, and grapefruit served on a bed of flowers," concluding with "It's twenty-five minutes outside Boston, but the cab fare is worth it."
The only other New England spot to make the list this year is The Magdalenae Room in Providence.

Esquire's 2016 Best Bars in America List Includes Croke Park/Whitey's in South Boston
A popular men's magazine has come out with its annual picks for best bars in America, and one of the few remaining dive bars in South Boston has made the list.
According to an article in Boston Magazine, Esquire Magazine has included Croke Park/Whitey's on W Broadway in its list of best bars, with the magazine's drinks editor David Wondrich saying that "I do my best to exercise good—okay, goodish—judgment when I'm touring barrooms, but every once in a while, a gear slips a tooth and dosages get miscalculated. Whitey's is a slipped tooth," and stating that he has "dim memories of having an excellent time" there. This year's Boston pick is quite a bit different from the two picks from last year's Esquire list, which included the eclectic watering hole State Park in Cambridge's Kendall Square and the iconic Irish pub J.J. Foley's in Boston's South End.

Esquire's Best New Restaurants List Includes Townsman in Boston
A popular men's magazine has posted its top 14 picks for new restaurants in the United States for 2015, and a dining spot in Boston has been included.
According to the new article that came out earlier this week, Esquire Magazine has picked Townsman in downtown Boston as one of the best new restaurants in the country. A few of the items mentioned by the magazine include the blood-sausage mortadella, summer-squash fritter, beef tartare, collard kimchi, and foie gras, with the writer writing that "At Townsman, New England cuisine erupts like the blueberries of the summer." No other New England restaurants were picked by Esquire this year, though four New York dining spots made the list (Little Park, Mountain Bird, Santina, and Shuko).
Matt and Kate Jennings opened Townsman on Kingston Street in February; before that, they had operated Farmstead in Providence's Wayland Square.

Esquire's 2015 Best Bars in America List Includes State Park in Cambridge, J.J. Foley's in Boston's South End
A popular men's magazine has come out with its top 25 picks for bars in America once again, and this year, it has included a couple of local spots--and one of the picks may mollify at least some bar lovers.
According to the new article posted on its site, Esquire Magazine has included State Park in Cambridge's Kendall square among its picks, and it has also included J.J. Foley's in Boston's South End. Last year, the magazine picked the downtown Boston location of Foley's, leading to some confusion among locals, since the East Berkeley Street location in the South End is seen by many as an iconic bar, while the Kingston Street bar, while popular, doesn't have the same recognition and was seen by some as being the "wrong" J.J. Foley's to pick for the list .
In addition to Foley's in downtown Boston, last year's Esquire list also included The Hawthorne in Kenmore Square.

Esquire's Best Bars in America List Includes The Hawthorne, J.J. Foley's
A popular men's magazine has posted its top 25 picks for bars in the United States for 2014, and a couple of spots in Boston have been included--though not without some confusion.
According to the new slideshow/article, Esquire Magazine has picked The Hawthorne in Kenmore Square and J.J. Foley's in downtown Boston as two of the best bars in the country. The magazine recommended a Dutch Oven from the former and called the bar "Dark, cool, and elegant" and with "Impeccable cocktails," while it recommended a Guinness from the latter and said it was "a survivor from the bad old days" where "The bartenders are actually friendly and the regulars tolerant," and "it has no media strategy, marketing plan, or corporate mixologist."
As noted in a Boston Herald article, there is some confusion as to Esquire's picking J.J. Foley's, as the address shown is of the Kingston Street location in downtown Boston rather than the better-known location on Berkeley Street in the South End, but a Twitter post confirms that writer David Wondrich indeed meant to focus on the Kingston Street outlet.
