Charlie's Sandwich Shoppe

Charlie's has long been a beloved Boston institution, first opening its doors in 1927 and standing as a proud landmark for over 98 years. Recognized with a prestigious James Beard Award for American Classics, it remains one of the city's most cherished dining destinations. Notably, Charlie's is one of the few restaurants in Boston still featured in the *Green Book*, the historic African American travel guide published during the Jim Crow era, offering a safe haven for travelers during the pre-Civil Rights Movement days. Charlie's has been the go-to spot for some of the biggest names in music, sports, and entertainment. Legendary jazz musicians like Sammy Davis Jr., Duke Ellington, and Billie Holiday dined here, helping cement in history.
