1. Diva India Bistro Restaurant
When I want Indian food, I generally don't want it to come with terrible service and loud techno music.
The food was meh. I had a crepe which was quite spicy and my buddy had his usual Saag Paneer; he said the saag tasted 'off' in some way. The naan…More »
2. Ruff & Ready Furnishings
Washington, DC 20009
(202) 667-7833
Category:
Antiques
Neighbourhood: U Street Corridor
Rough and Ready accidentally made me an epidemiologist. As soon as I entered the mold cave of a basement, I felt an upper respiratory infection take hold. I'm still coughing a week after my visit. No need to track down contaminated water pumps for…More »
3. Café Jaffa
My new favorite spot for hearty vegetarian food without breaking the bank off Newbury. Equally good for a quick lunch or a loungey afternoon with the newspaper and a cup of tea. Cozy Middle Eastern atmosphere and good service that knows when to leave…More »
4. Patio American Grill & Cocktail Bar
One star for their mediocre tourist food. One star for the outdoor seating and blankets (brilliant). An extra star for the fabulous mojito list.
5. Peju Province Winery
In the interest of full disclosure, I was pretty drunk by the time we got to Peju. Thank God, because this place would have been tackier sober.
The grounds are nice in that tightly controlled, I-want-a-classy-Napa-wedding-b ut-on-a-budget kind of way,…More »
6. Canoe Restaurant & Bar
Toronto, ON M5K 1H6
Canada
(416) 364-0054
Category:
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhoods: Financial District, Downtown Core
If you needed to know the Banker Bar of Toronto, look no further. Canoe has a captive audience in the TD Towers and the crowd is definitely the suited and booted finance set.
Their specialty cocktail list is a little short and a little too…More »
7. J Lex Salon and Spa
I go here to get my eyebrows threaded for $7 by a masterful Indian auntie. This 'spa' is super weird -- never seems to have customers, kinda dingy, weird murals everywhere. I'm not exactly inspired to come for any other services.
8. Strange Brew Tavern
Where to wear your fancy flannel.
Great beers, lots of seating, shockingly good music, and the best people watching I've experienced in New England. Strange Brew attracts bikers, cougars, hipsters, and the after-work crowd. There were even two black…More »
9. Peace o' Pie
Boston, MA 02134
(617) 787-9884
Phase 1: Picking up the pizza. It smelled and looked delicious. I ordered the MD with 'sausage' and everything about it screamed salty, fatty pork products.
Phase 2: My first bite. The 'cheese' they use has a really strange texture. Sort of creamy,…More »
10. Pure Line Skin Care
I got a same-day brow wax here for $18 and even thought it looks good, there are red bumps around my brows five days later. I don't know if it was the wax or technique or a sanitary issue or just my sensitive skin acting up but I won't be returning.

11. Hamersley's Bistro
I had a perfect summertime dinner on the patio. The ambiance strikes the perfect city/nature balance, the food is sublime, and the service is subtly attentive. They had a vegetarian prix-fixe, which scores big points in my book, and was incredible.

12. Bradley & Diegel Salon
I have an amazing haircut that people can't stop complimenting... and I got it for $20 by going to Paul, a delightful lad in their apprentice program.
If you're like me and sporting an overgrown do but not wanting to drop 80 bucks to fix it, sign up…More »
13. Grezzo - CLOSED
Boston, MA 02113
(857) 362-7288
Categories:
Vegan,
Live/Raw Food
Neighbourhood: North End
Grezzo is pronounced Graze-o, which is appropriate because grazing is all you do here.
As an always vegetarian/sometimes vegan, I was really excited to come here and show my omnivorous SO how creative plant-based food could be.
The menu certainly was…More »
14. Civello Salon & Spa
Toronto, ON M5V 1Z9
Canada
(416) 977-7755
The only problem with Civello is that I might have to move to Toronto so I can keep dealing with someone who understands thick, full, wavy hair.
This haircut is the first one I've ever had that manages to be edgy while working WITH my hair's natural…More »
15. Aladdin Auto Service
Hurrah for Mamood! After shopping mechanics for two years without ever feeling great about any particular one, I have settled on Mamood as my mechanic for life (at least the life of my car).
His shop is also a gallery for his sculpture, and he always…More »
16. T.W. Food
I had a party here with about 20 people and everything -- food, wine, service, ambiance -- was perfect!
Everyone could order either the veggie or omnivore tasting menu, which made me happy because it's rare to see veggie food in fancy prix fixe…More »
17. Drink
Boston, MA 02228

Category:
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Waterfront, South Boston
I finally experienced their homemade ginger beer and am hooked. If only they sold it by the growler!
Here's my comprehenisve guide to when you should go to Drink during the weekend:
-- If you're over 30 and/or want a quiet conversation and/or think…More »

18. Annapurna Restaurant
Cambridge, MA 02140
(617) 876-8664
Category:
Himalayan/Nepalese
Neighbourhoods: North Cambridge, Porter Square
As soon as the waitress brought out complimentary lentil soup to start, my dining companion said, "You're going to Yelp the shit out of this, aren't you?"
YES.
The food was excellent, very fresh, and seasoned in a way that allowed you to taste the…More »
19. Armando's Pizza & Subs
Cambridge, MA 02138
(617) 354-8275
Categories:
Pizza,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Huron Village
It's the kind of pizza you know is good because the shop sponsors local little league teams -- fresh, hot, unpretentious.
This is where I go for those immediate pizza/salt cravings when Emma's would take too long and be too fancy.
20. Deluxe Town Diner
Good lord this place is delicious. And vegetarian-friendly! So rare for a traditional diner!
Get the sweet potato pancakes with pecans and pretend you're in Memphis having a hungover brunch at the Blue Plate cafe. DTD does an excellent job, for…More »
21. Kate McElwee Photography
Our engagement photos were in a woodworking studio with strong colors and no natural light. Our wedding photos were taken with afternoon sunlight in a soft, romantic outdoor setting. Kate nailed it both times.
Yelp led me to Kate after I had…More »
