1) Sumiao Hunan Kitchen is bringing the experience of a backyard Louisiana crawfish boil to the heart of Cambridge’s Kendall Square. Now in peak crawfish season through early July, SHK is getting shipments of the live crustacean every weekend, directly from Louisiana so guests can enjoy as fresh as possible!

Order up their “13 Spices Spicy Crawfish” available Fridays-Sundays (paired with an ice cold beer on the patio!) and choose from two sizes: 2.5 lbs. for $58 or 1.75 lbs. for $30.
