First homeowner - Suburbs style
See All Lists
1. Border Cafe
Yummy yummy. I have been moving house into the suburbs and what a cool relief that my husband and I found this place. It is clean, dining room large, outdoor seating on the patio away from the busy, loud Middlesex Turnpike. It is easy to park, easy…More »
2. Burlington Library
I have gone here all my life. They have grown massively since I was a wee tyke with a new upstairs filled with private study closets, more computers, and bathroom on the second floor.
They have a great selection of new recently released DVDs and…More »
3. Target Stores
Compared to other Targets in the area, this one certainly rocks. I am so in loved with this place that I mustered up all my strength after a morning of getting my wisdom teeth out and drove myself over to this location only to nearly faint. I ended…More »
4. Bare Bottom
I love coming here. A couple owns and alternates running this place. They happily take walk-ins, but try to schedule ahead. You are always greeted with a smile.
They have relatively cheap package deals. Twenty visits for fifty-something dollars. The…More »
5. Burlington Mall
One of the best malls in the Boston area, hands-down easily. They have the prerequisite Simon's renting shops, such as Macy's, Sears, Lord & Taylor, Victoria's Secret, Gap, Express, etc. However, they also have fun and different stores for your…More »
6. Market Basket
This spot is phenonmenal. One of the larger locations and better located because it is right off Rt. 93 and 95. Only a 15-minute drive north from the more crowded one in Somerville.
Parking is simple, the aisles are wide, long, and for the most part,…More »
7. Trader Joe's
This chain location has abundant parking and a splendid assortment of Trader Joe goodies. I find shopping here enjoyable especially when I have shopped at the Brookline location and something, like my green tea mochi ice cream, have run out - that…More »
8. The Gap
They recently switched the male/female sides and I like it much more. They always have a great sale items section. On several occasions, I have gotten great deals, such as full, pleated skirts and a blue fitted puffed-sleeved jacket for $20 each.
Try…More »
9. Panera Bread
I worked down the street from this location and have only gone once during lunchtime. Boy, it can become a mad house. Lines out to the doors. No tables to peacefully enjoy your lunch. And terribly difficult nabbing a parking spot (end up parking on…More »
10. Building 19 1/2
If you can get over the moldy, old smell once you enter this place, you will be greatly rewarded. I promise. They have everything for the kitchen, bedroom, books, clothing. I came here for woman's ski glove with thinsule $3.50. I did not even care…More »
11. Romano's Macaroni Grill
We arrive around 9pm for dinner on a Saturday. There were about 10 tables seated and we were all huddled into a corner. Apparently there was only one server working the last tables and we were stuck with him. He is a tall fat guy who always looks…More »

If you have read my Vinny T's commentary, you'll know why I like it here. Yummy Italian-American… Read more »
12. Roche Bros
I really like the cleanliness and organization of this store. You won't have a problem finding what you need because they stock items frequently. The sale items never run out and are usually located at the front of each aisle. Their…More »
13. Flatbread Company
When I walked in, I tried to figure out what is special about this place. From the make-shift birch branch picture frames to the allusions of fresh killed organic chicken, I thought country at first. However, a quick look at the really open kitchen…More »
14. Williams-Sonoma
Located in the splendid Burlington Mall, you would think that they would have some class and respect their customers. Think again.
I was shopping for a graduation present and couldn't decide. I walked over to the expresso machine and was trying to…More »
15. Sammy's Deli & Catering
I have been coming here since I was a kid buying all my New Kids on the Block trading cards. I have had friends while in high school work here. Everyone knows Sammy's.
Get your made-to-order subs, potato/pasta salad and/or soups to make a great lunch.…More »
16. Abercrombie & Fitch
A&F need to hand out flashlights when you walk in. Unless this is a marketing scam, people only buy stuff here because they could not decipher the price tag.
Teeny boppers with their parents' money shop here. Hollister down the mall is much the same.More »
17. Patterson's Back Bay Dancewear
This place had a decent supply of dancewear and sorta exciting display of sale items (legwarmers or old leotards for $5, ballet pointes $20).
The downsides: you get the sense that you're intruding on the conversations of the high school girls working…More »
18. The Cheesecake Factory
Cambridge, MA 02141
(617) 252-3810
Categories:
American (New),
American (Traditional),
Desserts
Neighbourhood: East Cambridge
This is Americanized cuisine at its best. Stay clear if you're looking for flavors jumping off your palate. No cilantro, basil, chili-punch, etc. Just bland, bland, and more bland.
However, since it offers everything under one roof, I have…More »
19. Rainforest Cafe
Don't hold it against me, but I'm a little biased. I worked here when I was a poor college student one summer (2001) for exactly two weeks. I worked up front and guided patrons from the aquarium tank to their seats.
I am a very intelligent person…More »
