Nu Flav Restaurant, Boston

The cooks at Nu Flav Restaurant offer an eclectic spread of American and Latin-inspired dishes. In the morning, they whip up a traditional breakfast of fried eggs and switch things up with spaghetti and sausage. Their other fried options include chicken, goat, and turkey, each of which comes with crisp plantains that can double as wide-brimmed hats for finger puppets. They round out the menu with rice and bean platters and burgers.
