I like you.

Do you like me?

Check one:

Sigh.

Amendments make my toes curl. But yes, it's true. Go on a weekday and have one of the most varied and yummy and dirt-cheap and quickly-sat-and-served breakfasts in Boston. And listen to the bland banter of the housewives at the next table.…More »

I live right around the corner from Victor's, and while the New Yorker-wannabe in me has always yearned to have my "own" deli to frequent so close by, I have to admit that my desire to love this place has fueled any actual sentiment I feel. The…More »

I think my thing for dumplings is already pretty well-documented. In sum: they're rad. And this place understands their importance. Get the dumplings. Get ALL the dumplings.
