Pizza
Neighbourhood: Porter Square
If you're in Porter Square and need a quick lunch that feeds your body and soul, look no further.
As others have said, the Blue October is heaven on a plate. The pizza with fiddleheads and garlic is equally divine. Sure, the selection is limited, as…More »
After convincing my boyfriend that Full Moon (across the street) was targeted toward families with children, we ended up at Village Kitchen.
We had intended to have a "restaurant meal," even though Village Kitchen seemed more of a take-out place with…More »
I'm not the kind of girl who regularly spends upwards of $60 per person on a meal, so it's not likely that the inside of Dante will see me again soon. That being said, the place totally tickled my taste buds for a good number of hours, and the place…More »

Yum!
Yelp and a friend of mine both recommended this place eagerly for brunch, so we went around 10am on a Sunday. Although I was tempted by the waffles (I'm a sucker for waffles, truly), we decided to each get an order of french toast - one cinnamon…More »

Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Dorchester
Somehow I turned into a coffee snob. I long for demi-tasse spoons and ceramic cups, frothy iced lattes and espresso with an aromatic crema. The Sugar Bowl returns me to my roots, where folks come for a cuppa joe and a rootbeer float.

Somehow you ended up on the other side of the river from Québec city, maybe intentionally, maybe not. Never fear, Chocolats Favoris can cure what ails you until the next ferry comes, with the elixir of the gods: chocolate-covered ice cream.

Yes, this is just another pizza place...except if you get the barbecue chicken pizza. Barbecue sauce, chicken, cheese, pineapple, all on a crispy, hot crust? Delish. Sure the guys behind the counter will hit on you or your teenage daughter. It's all…More »

So, it was a great idea to get a cute apartment in Huron Village. Rent's cheap, people are friendly, and when you need groceries, there's...
...oh wait. There isn't. Being in Huron Village without a car means you'll be best friends with your bike…More »
I took a risk and had India Palace prepare the food for a party I was throwing on my department's dime - which was a pitifully small dime - and they did not disappoint. I'd never eaten there before, but Yelp put us in touch, and, well to be honest,…More »

Neighbourhood: Harvard Square
What can I say that hasn't already been said? Veggie Planet has some highs and some lows. The highs definitely still outweigh the lows, by far, but let's be fair. Starting with the highs:
The pizza is delicious. You get fresh, yummy ingredients in…More »
When I moved into Huron Village, I knew that walking by High Rise every day would help me attain a sort of inner balance. That is, the balance of a shrinking wallet and expanding waistline.
The food is good enough to keep you coming back for more,…More »

Neighbourhoods: Dorchester, Fields Corner
Dorchester gets a bad rap. Sure, it's a bit sketchy at times, and having walked from South Station to JFK, and from JFK to Field's Corner, I wouldn't recommend it to my little sister, particularly not in the semi-dark of a post-daylight-savings-time…More »

Once upon a time, I wanted to impress my boyfriend on the eve of his birthday, but totally failed at making plans. No reservations for dinner anywhere, so we decided to wing it and try Hungry Mother on a Saturday night, and then go to the movies at…More »
Market Basket, you complete me (okay, I know I already said that of Zipcar...but really, the three of us make a sweet threesome). Seriously. Even though they just opened a Trader Joe's down the street from me, I'll STILL be renting a Zipcar twice a…More »
Somewhere between the price tag and the meal size, somewhere in the ambiance and the attitude, Craigie On Main lost a star. I'm not saying the food wasn't awesome, because it was great, and the drinks too, but thanks to Yelp, the hype had me…More »
After eating here, I'm not entirely sure whether this is a just restaurant or also some sort of cult...but the food was good. We stumbled across this place on a long afternoon walk, and the name was reminiscent. So, in we went, and ordered lunch. We…More »
My father is a crazy gawky white man who decided to learn Chinese in his 30's, mostly because he has a love affair with Chinese food. Love my dad. So, for many of the early years of my life, we'd hop the commuter rail from our Southeastern MA suburb…More »
Being married to a Québecois, one would think I'd have had the chance to become a connoisseur of poutine. But, not so. The only specimens we'd had on our many travels to the great North were not the kind to write home about - soggy, pasty fries in a…More »

Imagine a world where lunch costs $3.20. A yummy, well-balanced lunch. Are you with me?
They've got wraps and plates galore, all delicious, but if the summer heat has you craving something fresh and not enormous for lunch, get the falafel side order.…More »
