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.

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.

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 »
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 »
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 »

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?

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 »

steak bombs, grape leaf wraps, hot dogs-

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 »

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 »
