I'd call this place a hidden gem but it's placed in the most obvious spot in the world: on Harvard Street in Coolidge Corner. I can't walk by without popping in, and I can't walk out without buying something. There are a million tables, just bursting…More »

I hadn't been to Rami's since I was a kid, and couldn't really remember if I liked it or not. I saw the Groupon, and impulse bought it. Came in tonight, and oy vey, it was good!
It's a small joint, maybe eight tables, but we were lucky enough to get…More »
Super Fusion, you do it for me. You came so highly recommended, how could I pass you by? You're dirt cheap but with the freshest fish around. Oh, Super Fusion, I could write sonnets about your seaweed salad. It's the best that Boston has to offer.…More »

This is a great spot for purchasing beer, wine, and gourmet ingredients. They have really friendly service and beer tastings on Thursdays.
They also sell several kinds of Abita beer, which can be a tough find in Boston. I'm so glad I randomly…More »
It's a question that has plagued generations. Wars have been fought over this very conundrum. Neither Democrats nor Republicans know the answer. Dear Abby would be stumped.
Should I order Pad See Ewe or Pad Thai?

Very, very solid deli. I can't believe I've lived a matter of blocks from this hidden hole-in-the-wall and didn't notice it! I'm a regular at the Subway on the same block and wish I had known that a far better deli spot was only a few doors down.

Good times had by all.
I went to Fugaku on a Friday night around 8 without a reservation. There were four of us and we were famished. They said it would be a half an hour wait but lo and behold, there were four empty seats at the bar! So we got to…More »
Everyone knows someone who went to UMASS Amherst. And every single one of them, upon getting drunk, yells something about "WINGS!" I've heard grown men get drunk and whine that they want "wingies," and I must say, after hearing so much about them, I…More »
Beacon Street Tavern has a lot that's appealing. It doesn't always live up to your expectations, but overall, it's a solid choice. I've been there for food and for nights of drinking. The drinking scene is underwhelming unless you're with a good…More »
Deeeeeelicious. Really great burritos. The have very fast service there and make the ginormous burritos in front of you. Writing this is making me want it for dinner.
Two things to note:
1) They are cash only.
2) They have what is truly the most…More »
I love Trader Joe's but...
The parking lot alone makes this a location I hardly ever visit. And I live right down the street. I have driven all the way to Newton just not to deal with the parking lot. It's tiiiiiny. And this location is swarmed at all…More »

So I went to American Craft last night, which coincidentally was their last night open for business. I didn't know it was the last night until a few hours into my visit, but even before I found out, I wanted to write an update to my previous review.

Just ordered a spicy tuna maki, spicy salmon maki, California maki, spicy shrimp maki, two pieces of maguro, and a miso soup for $23 (don't worry, it wasn't all for me). That's a boatload of sushi for pretty darn cheap. But the thing about cheap…More »

Hi, my name is Hayley and I am addicted to nail polish.
I change my nails more often than most people change their socks. I read nail polish blogs. I proudly display all of my polishes in an acrylic display case complete with its own lamp so I can see…More »

I wanted to like this place, I really did. I've heard such good things, and every not-so-good thing was about the service and I figured I would just get lucky and get good service.
However...
The service sucked. We waited forever to get a table only…More »
