152424 Tue Jun 21 16:50:17 -0700 2005 3 12 Boston Area 0 818466 A friend will be in town next week, seeking a great lunch before he heads off to an evening of meetings. He's been to No. 9 Park. I'm coming from Cambridge on the Red Line. It can be chow or high-end. So Red Bones in Davis Sq., for instance, is an option. As is dim sum. Butcher Shop and the fanastic Duck Confit Salad would be a great choice, but it's a bit of a haul for me to get to and back midweek. Tue Jun 21 16:50:17 -0700 2005 0 edgrimley 1 818475 Pricey: Pierrot or (a little further) Beacon Hill Bistro near Charles/MGH. The Grotto or Locke-Ober near Park Street. Vinalia, Mantra, or blu near Downtown Crossing. Radius near South Station.
