A Single Block Of Five Cheap Ethnic Eats
What's your mood? Italian, Japanese, Thai, Mexican or Greek? Located almost equi-distant between the Museum of Fine Arts and Fenway Park, Peterborough Street is mostly a quiet residential thoroughfare lined with attached brick town homes. But towards the end of the street, there is a string of fun, casual ethnic eateries. And now that it is spring, each of these restaurants has put out tables for dining al fresco.

Nice Italian trattoria food and brick-oven pizza. The owner is Iranian, so the menu features some Persian specials on the menu as well.

For a sushi bar, Umi is fairly inexpensive-maki dishes are from $13-$17. But this is sushi after all, which makes this the most expensive choice on the block.

If you crave Thai food, this is the place. Rice plates are cooked fresh to order. Speedy service too.

A favorite haunt of several current Red Sox players, this taqueria serves more than just burritos. The daily specials are inspired- and the fish tacos are especially good.

Gyros and kebabs of course, but you can never go wrong with a plate of mousaka- eggplant and beef in a tomato and béchamel sauce. Greek comfort food!
