Allston Village
Allston Village is the densest version of Allston — ninety-four restaurants in a radius that includes a Taco Bell, a Burmese restaurant, and a boba shop within the same block. Pavement Coffeehouse is the neighborhood's de facto office. Social Glue at 56 because August is a different city.

About this Neighborhood
Allston Village is the commercial heart of the Allston ecosystem, the block cluster around Harvard Avenue and Brighton Avenue where every square foot of storefront is competing for student dollars. Ninety-four restaurants is the highest count in this batch — and the range is deliberately absurd: Yoma for serious Burmese cooking, Taco Bell for 2am, Rock City Pizza splitting the difference. Twenty coffee spots include Pavement Coffeehouse, the neighborhood's most serious independent operation, and enough boba options to constitute a separate food category. Twenty-one grocery options reflect Allston's functionally international population — Korean supermarkets, Brazilian specialty stores, the full domestic range. Social Glue at 56 is honest about a neighborhood that imports 30% of its residents every September and exports them every June. The connections are real but seasonal. Remote-friendly because Pavement Coffeehouse is always open and the laptop-to-seat ratio is favorable.
