Kured

Kured on Charles Street is a sandwich shop with a convincing argument for making lunch out of cheese. Its charcuterie selection includes prosciutto, speck and hot soppressata, with cheeses such as aged Manchego, Brie and black truffle cheddar. Add olives, pickles, fig jam or smoked almonds and you have something to bring to a friend’s apartment without doing any cooking.

You can also keep it simple with a made-to-order sandwich or salad. Breakfast brings bagels, breakfast sandwiches and coffee, so the shop works earlier in the day, too. Charcuterie comes in several sizes, from individual cups to larger boards, and Kured handles catering and grazing tables when a small box won’t cover everyone.
