Bailey & Sage

Just opened downtown from two brothers and a dad (TV show idea?), this upscale artisanal bread/salad/sammie shop rocks gourmet lunchtime faves like a pepper-berry-coated and horseradish'd steak filet on crusty bread, a rock crab meat and grilled asparagus number w/ forest berry chipotle and English cucumber aioli, and smoked beef brisket with caramelized onions/asiago, all in an exposed brick/wood/marble-walled space replete w/ white marble counter top, elegant vintage b/w photos of the city, and a giant framed antique map of Old Boston, which is much better than any of the crap they played in the 90s.
