Best of the Best List 2024 – Charlestown Winners

The Boston Globe just announced its Best of the Best List! Here are the winners from Charlestown! Congratulations!

Best Sushi

Washoku Renaissance

Chef Youji Iwakura’s food has always been excellent, whether it was at Snappy Ramen or his ambitious downtown restaurant, Kamakura. During the pandemic, he began offering curbside takeout, a venture that grew into Washoku Renaissance, located in Charlestown food hall Foundation Kitchen. The focus isn’t limited to sushi — Iwakura specializes in artful, multicourse kaiseki meals — but the sushi omakase are special, offered in several different formats and filled with carefully sourced ingredients such as baby eel and firefly squid. With just eight seats, the bar is as intimate as they come, providing an opportunity to learn more about sushi and Japanese cuisine.

Nightlife

The Anchor

Dance with ocean mist in your hair at The Anchor in Charlestown. This open-air wine and beer garden hosts weekly events including salsa dancing and comedy shows right on the water, all summer long — free of charge. Drink custom brews and eat some bar bites before line dancing the night away. Want to bring the kids? Many of The Anchor’s movie nights and live performances are great for all ages.

And that’s all she wrote…no more best of the best for our neighborhood.  Seems like they’re missing a few of our favorites!
