Treat Yo’ Self is an ongoing BostInno series that highlights a deal in the city where you can indulge without suffering financial ruin. Check back every week for a new way to pretend you’re rich – we’ll even provide the most appropriate scenario to accompany the bargains.

Who: Your co-worker who eats the same thing every single day. It’s really time they branch out from Pret A Manger and discover new lunch spots in the area.

What: The recently opened Mediterranean restaurant, BONAPITA, in Downtown Crossing is serving up a free 4oz cup of Red Lentil Soup with the order of any entree this week. And trust us – these entrees are delish. All diners have to do is mention the complimentary soup to the servers when they place their order.

When: BONAPITA will be serving the complimentary soup starting today, October 1 through this Friday, October 3.

Where: BONAPITA is located in Downtown Crossing at 49 Franklin St.

Why: Because if you’re going to buy lunch, you might as well get a warm cup of soup to go with it – especially when it’s cold and wet outside.

How: Hopefully, BONAPITA is just a short walk away from your office. If not, the lunch spot is located down the street from the Downtown Crossing T station.
