A restaurant that doubles as a craft beer bar, triples as a gourmet butcher shop, and quadruples as a party and music space? This evokes images of couples canoodling over oysters and pints of Lagunitas next to a deli counter while party guests try not to hit their heads on hanging pig carcasses. But Chop Shop, 15,000 square feet of meats and beats, works a strange magic. An outstanding burger made with a house blend of prime cuts pleases. So do the roasted bone-in Berkshire pork chop with apple-bourbon butter, the great Manhattan with smoked sugar, and the majestic lunchtime hot turkey sandwich with peppers and provolone. Overachieving has never been so tasty.

Perfect for: Multitaskers
