Sip, Savor & People-Watch: Summer Days on Newbury Street at Sonsie
Summer in Boston isn't complete without a visit to Newbury Street, and no place captures its charm quite like Sonsie. With its signature open-front design and effortless energy, Sonsie invites you to slow down and indulge in the simple pleasures of the season. Whether you're out for a casual weekday lunch or a celebratory spritz with friends, this Back Bay favorite turns any summer afternoon into something special.
Seasonal Sips & Signature Cocktails
The drink menu at Sonsie is made for sun-soaked afternoons and warm, golden evenings. Cool down with a Summer Vibes mocktail, or kick things off with a Sonsie G&T, layered with almond, cucumber, and lime for a crisp twist on a classic. If you lean toward bold and fruit-forward, the Prickly Pear Gimlet or Flor del Fuego delivers just the right balance of sweet and spice. Bringing friends? The Aperol Spritz and Hugo Spritz pitchers make it easy to toast together over conversation and laughter. And if wine is more your style, the rotating glass list offers refreshing whites, such as a Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough or a Provencal Rosé, that pair beautifully with just about anything on the menu.
Fresh Flavors & Bold Plates
Sonsie's lunch menu is a blend of comforting and creative dishes. Start with crowd-pleasers like the Crispy Vietnamese Spring Rolls or Kung Pao Cauliflower, then dive into their craveable mains. The Shrimp Scampi with lemon and green garlic is summer on a plate, while the Gil's Wagyu Burger with thick-cut bacon and special sauce hits every satisfying note. Their brick oven pizzas, such as the Prosciutto and Arugula or the Corn Pizza with cheddar and crème fraîche, are perfect for sharing or keeping all to yourself. If you're looking for something lighter, consider the Burrata Salad, featuring heirloom tomatoes and pistachio pesto, or the Little Gem Lettuce with a coriander-lime dressing, both of which make fresh, feel-good choices.
