Bay Village, Cambridge

Breakfast sandwiches in Bay Village with Vito

Tiny Bay Village might be Boston's most charming neighborhood. Stepping into its streets feels like entering a different time period and place. But like Beacon Hill, Bay Village and its brightly painted doors are classic Boston.

Some of the best breakfast sandwiches are at Mike and Patty’s, in Bay Village. The Fancy is their staple. Bacon, egg, cheese, avocado, on multigrain Iggy’s Bread. Some great sauces. Sage and Ron run the counter there. So my typical morning on a weekend is to wake up and get a Mike and Patty’s sandwich.

Then I go over to MMMMaven, an events company that puts on electronic dance events, for my DJ class. They also have free workshops and organize the Thursday night at Middlesex, and bring deep house acts to town. That’s one of the most consistent dance nights in Boston.

Also on Thursdays—every third Thursday of the month, the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum has a mixer event in the atrium, which is like the classiest thing ever.
