EAT YOUR HEART OUT

Lobster rolls on the Boston harbor, flaky pastelitos from Miami ventanitas:
these are the things we travel the world for, not just because they’re
delicious, but because neighborhood restaurants are the heart of local culture.
This is where people celebrate life, catch up with friends, share family recipes
passed down through generations, and reinvent them for the next. 

Across Independent Collection Hotels & Resorts, the best local spots aren’t just
around the corner – they’re at our doorstep. From vibrant French bistros in
Washington, D.C. to New England classics in Cape Cod, here’s where to savor the
local scene.


BOSTON

You know Boston for its spectacular seafood – a reputation it has well earned –
but take a closer look and you’ll find so much more than clam chowder. Young,
innovative chefs and a growing multicultural community are shaping Boston’s food
scene into an exciting fusion of international flavors.

Take for example Para Maria, a Latin-inspired restaurant at The Envoy Hotel in
Boston’s Seaport District. Helmed by Cuban-American chef Tatiana Rosana, a
two-time “Chopped” champion and “Bar Rescue” Chef Expert, Para Maria adds some
sazón to New England dining. Go for the chipotle mushroom tacos, or try
something different, like the guava-glazed salmon with coconut rice, young
coconut and tomatillo chow chow, and spiced pistachios. Don’t forget a side of
crunchy tostones, a special dish that, like the restaurant’s name, pays homage
to Chef Tatiana’s grandmother, Maria.


WASHINGTON, D.C.

When it comes to jazz music, Washington, D.C. is the stuff of legend. Louis
Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and the great Dizzy Gillespie have all performed
here. Duke Ellington is a D.C. native. The jazz clubs on U Street are almost 100
years old. Even the sculpture gardens have jazz music these days!  

From Dupont Circle to Georgetown, there are so many ways to experience jazz
culture in the District. Enjoy your musical immersion at The St. Gregory Hotel’s
charming French restaurant, Ellington Park Bistro, where you’ll be treated to
live performances by some of the best local jazz artists in town, plus delicious
French cuisine in a buzzy bistro atmosphere. Slip into a velvet booth, pop open
a bottle of Champagne, and let the good times roll with Blanquette de Veau,
French onion soup, and classic steak frites. Weekenders can also enjoy the
restaurant’s famous brunch complete with bottomless spritzes, brioche French
toast, and smoked salmon tartine. Top it off with a stroll through Duke
Ellington Park, a charming homage to D.C.’s own jazz legend.


CAPE COD

Summer may be peak season for Cape Cod, Massachusetts, but fall and winter bring
just as much beauty – and unbelievable seafood. Before you feast, it’s time to
work up an appetite. Set sail for a glimpse of humpback whales along the
coastline, meander through quaint historic streets, or try mountain biking
through the Cape’s wooded trails.

Whatever you choose, anchor your explorations at Sea Crest Beach Resort and
you’ll be rewarded with not one, not two, but five on-site eateries, each with
its own take on Cape Cod cuisine. Collectively known as Streetscape, this
assortment caters to every palate. Enjoy Cape quintessentials like New England
Clam Chowder at The Lantern Room, munch on fish ‘n’ chips from a seaside shack
at The Hatch, or cool down with a classic ice cream cone from Captain Scoops.


PHILADELPHIA

The City of Brotherly Love is full of national treasures: Independence Hall,
cheesesteak sandwiches, and Rocky Balboa, to name a few. Perhaps the most
treasured of all is Rittenhouse Square. Dating back to the late 1600s, the
famous square was planned by Philadelphia’s founder, William Penn, for whom the
state of Pennsylvania is named. Fast forward to the 21st century and Penn’s
landmark greenspace is more vibrant than ever, with thousands of locals and
visiting out-of-towners buzzing through all year long.

Jump into the action at Lacroix, a dazzling AAA Four Diamond restaurant and
Forbes Four Star winner nestled in the luxurious Rittenhouse Hotel. This
Philadelphia icon has been around for over 20 years, spoiling guests with
avant-garde French cuisine and award-winning wine lists chosen by their in-house
sommelier. Lacroix’s latest visionary, Executive Chef Eric Leveillee, adds
international flavors and rare ingredients to the mix like Japanese matsutake
mushrooms with chicken confit, and succulent scallops topped with corn,
brassicas, and serrano ham. And for dessert, how about Lacroix’s famously rich
bananas foster topped with Baerii caviar? 

The restaurant is a go-to for big celebrations, but those in the know come for
the Sunday brunch buffet. Pile your plate with decadent bites like Berkshire
pork, snow crab claws, or truffle and caviar deviled eggs – then walk it off at
the ever-so-beautiful Rittenhouse Square below. It’s what William Penn would
have wanted. 


MIAMI BEACH

Along with Latin American influence, the city of Miami Beach has visible ties to
European culture, like classic Art Deco architecture and taking pleasure in
long, unhurried meals whenever the mood strikes. Get a taste of both at Cadillac
Hotel & Beach Club, a luxurious oceanfront resort with coastal European charm. 

At the hotel’s Italian trattoria, Donna Mare, locals and travelers mingle over
house-made pasta, wood-fired pizza, and premium cuts of meat grilled to
perfection – all masterfully prepared with local farm-to-table ingredients. An
Italian meal wouldn’t be complete without a glass of wine, of course. Choose
your favorites from Donna Mare’s curated selection of Italy’s best, from crisp
rosés of Provence to classic Tuscan reds. Pop open a bottle and soak up the
sunshine like it’s summer on the Riviera. Cin cin!


MONTEREY BAY

Seafood and wine are two iconic staples of California cuisine and major players
in the state’s local economy. At Salt Wood Kitchen & Oysterette in Monterey Bay,
your delicious meal directly supports the California farms, fisheries, and
purveyors that made it possible – which makes it even more satisfying. 

The restaurant itself is quintessential California on its own. There’s an
outdoor patio (pup-friendly, of course) surrounded by rolling dunes and distant
beachfront views. The interior design is coastal chic, and the live-fire kitchen
knows how to put on a show. 

Located at The Sanctuary Beach Resort, Salt Wood has what one might call “a
sense of place” – an immersive ambiance where sights, sounds, and smells are
intertwined with a destination’s identity. Indulge all of your senses with
seafood classics like Bay scallop ceviche, Dungeness crab benedict, and grilled
octopus tacos, or opt for something meatier like 24-hour short rib, Tomahawk
steak, or juicy chicken smoked to perfection over California oak wood. To drink,
how about a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc from the nearby Santa Lucia Highlands? A
fruity IPA from Monterey’s Alvarado Street Brewery would also hit the spot. Pair
them with an evening bonfire on the beach, and you might as well call yourself a
local!

Discover more unique culinary adventures and savor unforgettable flavors with
Independent Collection Hotel & Resort’s dining experiences.
