"When the mood calls for a round of drinks and a good meal, Ticonderoga is the total package. This Krog Street Market bar is perpetually lit by hanging Christmas lights, and cocktails like the Ticonderoga Cup (rum, cognac, and sherry) are a must. The small, seasonally changing menu has a bit of everything—from Chinese to Mexican dishes. And while we recommend diving into the excellent steak tartare or a huge plate of spiced pork confit, what you’ll really want to witness (or order yourself, depending on your appetite) is the $200 chuck wagon. A bell ringing signals that someone ordered it, followed by a big kerfuffle of servers gathering to cheer you on and present the enormous 64-ounce chuck roast.
