American cooking in Boston runs from clubby downtown dining rooms to neighborhood bakeries and lunch counters. Yvonne's on Beacon Hill works the polished end of the spectrum, while Cutty's in Brookline and the South End Buttery in the South End handle the everyday sandwich-and-pastry register. The breadth across these rooms is a fair picture of how the city eats American food day to day.
