I would be a bit nervous if a guy named Al was serving up sushi, or cupcakes, but for sandwiches, Al's your man.

It's a popular lunch destination but you're usually in and out in about 5-7 minutes. (That's what she said.) The setup is so that there…More »

( * 0 * )!  Hungreeee!

The Japanese lunch special.  This is what I get at BK, where you can have some maki your way.  I've tried 6 of the 12 rolls available through the special (there are way more options if you want to order a la carte.)  All are…More »

I never thought much about South Station until I spent some time in some of the major train and bus hubs elsewhere in the Northeast corridor:

NY Port Authority - frightening
NY Penn Station - excruciating
Providence Train Station - lame
Philly Filbert…More »

If you don't look closely, you'll miss it, but there's a decent photo lab tucked in the building right across from South Bus Station.  Just look for the huge photo of Denis Leary outside.

This lab caters to both the casual and professional…More »

Wow, the reviews for this place are all over the map. I didn't pop up the stairs to any of the previous incarnations of this eatery but finally decided to try it out. It's pretty much your basic downtown Boston deli/cafe - sandwiches, paninis, soup,…More »

Oh my lawd, I really should not have eaten Figaro's the day after eating a work of art masquerading as a sandwich from Flour.  

The bread on the prep boards being whipped into sammies looked good but for some reason I opted for a wrap - the Augustino.…More »

I've rode the lunch rocket to La Moon for both dim sum and food off the menu and ... I haven't been impressed. It's a little pink and red garbed orphan of the rest of the Chinatown resto scene, actually residing in the Leather district across the…More »

Easily one of the worst cupcakes I've ever had.  I'd MUCH rather have a Dunky Hines based stump cake topped with wonky dollop of Crisco frosting from a grocery store than what they're selling here at Rosie's.  Which is basically cardboard and…More »
