Zest for life

Rebecca's lemon squares

by Liz Zack

NOSHING & SIPPING

Not everything on Beacon Hill is exorbitant. At Rebecca's Bakery, halfway down Charles Street, a tart version of ecstasy is on sale for a mere $2.50. Rebecca's lemon squares begin with a moist and buttery pie crust, which is covered by a creamy lemon custard intensified by finely grated zest. A sprinkle of powdered sugar tops it off. Rebecca's has a few tables, so bring a book, sip some coffee, and indulge. Rebecca's Bakery is at 70 Charles Street; call (617) 742-9543.
