1. The Publick House
I'm not sure how I haven't rated this place yet, given that I'm here on a nearly-weekly basis.
Get a Left Hand Milk Stout. Cozy up at the bar. Talk to Milwaukee Mike about how they should add cheese curds to the menu.
...but seriously, it's nearly…More »

Neighbourhood: Allston/Brighton
I love nearly everything about this place, except when it's crowded. And then I just wish it were less crowded, but I don't love it any less.
I would like to bat my eyelashes flirtily with the following amazing things about the Ellum:

Categories:
Restaurants,
Pubs

i cannot believe i have not yet written a review for the jeanie, given that i was here 1-3x a week for 2 years.
If you live in JP you have zero excuse as to why you have not yet hit up this fantastic bar. 25 cent wings during football season on…More »

The Burren makes me happy.
It's one of the few places t-accessible that hosts coverbands, and they have this 2x/week. and i love me some good coverbands.

top notch trivia,

6. Golden Temple
***DISCLAIMER - I have never eaten here! Review of late-night only:
Inexplicably, this is one of my favorite places in Boston. Why I am so in love with a Chinese restaurant that converts into a bar-mitzvah sized dance party with a mediocre DJ is…More »
7. Chipotle Mexican Grill
this is the best chipotle location that i've been to. fastest, decent portions, staff that doesn't judge you for being there multiple times a week... (and for my celiac pals, a staff that always politely obliges the changing of gloves for their…More »
8. Dorado Tacos & Cemitas
So after the Regal Beagle chef won Chopped, Sally F. and I needed to change our pre-movie plans pronto (an hour and a half wait would've meant missing our movie), and since my pal can't do gluten, that limits options pretty significantly. We decided…More »

Boston, MA 02215
(617) 738-7200
Categories:
Bakeries,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Allston/Brighton
If I tell you the Milk and Thai teas with boba are terrible, does that mean you'll stop buying all of it up before I get there?
Love their boba teas, love their pastries, love the atmosphere, love the location. But seriously, stop drinking thai tea…More »
11. YoMa
Allston, MA 02134
(617) 783-1372
YoMa is one of my new favorite places, and since my best friend has Celiac's we were thrilled to discover that many things on their menu are gluten free!
She and I split the tea leaf salad, the YoMa special coconut tofu, and we each got a side - I got…More »
12. Campus Trolley
holy crap, they've got
steak bombs, grape leaf wraps, hot dogs-
better than subway!
13. Tasca Spanish Tapas Restaurant & Bar
I've been to Tasca a couple times now and am often struck by the beauty of the restaurant and the value of the food. I went once with a group of just 4, but the other times with groups of 8-10. Their food is usually pretty solid - from the tapas…More »

(617) 357-1899
Categories:
Restaurants,
Dive Bars,
Pubs
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Huge platters of tiny flavorful wings + cheap beer + 90s hip hop + a surprisingly cool crowd in what seems like it would be on the douchier side of dive bars = win.
It may have something to do with the fact that it was right before the Wilco show, so…More »

I see a LOT of concerts, and the Paradise is my favorite venue, hands down (especially after the remodel)!
Sound is good, setup is good, vibe is good, and complain about the obstructing pillar in the center allll you want but to have it set up the way…More »

Boston, MA 02134
(617) 779-0140
Categories:
Music Venues,
Lounges
Neighbourhood: Allston/Brighton
Essentially the same venue as Harper's Ferry, which is to say that, they haven't changed too much from the initial venue, and I'd say that's a good thing. Sound quality is high, stage location is smart, I enjoy the venue size, and they seem to book…More »
