People Magazine’s “most beautiful people” editions are a well-known pop culture feature released every year. It’s not that long ago, that Boston’s own Chris Evans made the list as the “sexiest man alive.” Now, the publication is looking to restaurants and just released a list of the most beautiful restaurant in every state!
For Massachusetts, the Harvard Square tiki bar, Wusong Road takes the win! The winners in other New England states include:
- Connecticut: Siena; New Haven
- Maine: Earth at Hidden Pond; Kennebunkport
- New Hampshire: Three Chimneys Inn; Durham
- Rhode Island: Cara; Newport
- Vermont: The Hermitage Inn; Dover
People writes of Wusong Road, “maximalism reigns at this tiki restaurant, with thatched overhangs, 1970s-era peacock chairs, and tropical wallpaper.”
Wusong Road, a multi-level restaurant located inside the renovated Conductor’s Building, is serving up Hong Kong-style deli food in the coolest space we’ve seen in a while.
The venue is wholly unique to Cambridge. The Conductor’s Building was built over a hundred years ago as an MBTA administrative building, and its slim architecture gives it an eclectic feel. While it shuttered its doors in the early 2000s, it was recently renovated as a restaurant space. Today, Wusong Road has furnished the space with classic tiki touches, but the low lighting and historical architecture gives it a cool- not kitsch- vibe.
The food is just as unique as the building itself. On the downstairs level, the kitchen serves up Hong Kong-style deli with barbecue rice plates and bao sandwiches (with the cutest little faces on the buns!). You can even order whole roasted duck – but due to such high demand, it’s only available in limited amounts and requires a reservation in advance.
Upstairs, you’ll find a suave tiki bar with elaborate tinctures, embellished with tropical flowers and those classic tiny parasols.
Wusong Road is open on Mondays from 3 PM and from noon Tuesday-Sunday.
