Who: Noah Selsby, 36, of Chelsea.

For a good dinner with friends, Noah favors L'Osteria in the North End, where he recommends one of the house specialties, bocconcini di vitello triestini, which includes "to die for" veal. Later, on a nice night, you might find him on the spacious open-air roof deck at Daedalus in Harvard Square.

In the mood for some art? Noah recommends that those looking for a cultural experience head down to the Institute of Contemporary Art on the waterfront for a modern art fix.
