The Courtyard Restaurant and MapRoom Café, located in the Boston Public Library, may be the smartest places to eat in town. Tucked away in the historic McKim Building facing picturesque Copley Square, these two restaurants are operated independently of the library by The Catered Affair, which is a full-service catering and event company that hosts weddings, corporate dinners and other celebrations on-site. Fortunately, you don't have to attend an event to enjoy the cuisine and atmosphere. The Courtyard Restaurant offers fine dining with seasonal menus chosen by executive chef Chris Shortall. The MapRoom Café is a great place for library patrons to stop in for a cup of coffee or a quick lunch.
