Maybe i'm just really used to NYC chinatown food.  Or even Philly Chinatown food.  Average.  Sizes of the dishes are smallish.  Prices are ok for the area.  

I can say that we went for Chinese New Year, and they gave everyone in our party a red…More »

Nice tables for working.  Only one outlet, so get there early or bring a power strip.  Fast internet.  

It's a B&N...what else do you expect?

It's Cheesecake Factory.  They're all the same.  

Waiter was nice, friendly, and constant.  Ordered the pork chops.  Was not a fan (too sweet).  The applesauce wasn't very good either.  First meal I did not like at CF.  Should've just gotten my…More »

Came here for BF...MAD HOUSE.  1.5 hours for the 1 mile to get to the parking lot.  The Barneys/Saks here left much to be desired for me.  

I was looking for a cool winter coat, but there was a serious lack of selection.  

But all in all, it's a pretty…More »

I need everyone to come here and support this place.  It's freaking awesome.  Read my previous review.  It's basically the same.  

One note - I had to order for 3 people.  I ordered the dinner for 2, and an extra entree.  The entrees that come with…More »

Large and in a central location.  The day I came was the last day they had the 50% off coupon, which meant it was a total mad house here.

What else can I say about this Borders (I mean, all Borders are basically the same).  Well, the people working…More »

Went on a Saturday at around 7:30pm - keep that in mind.

The place wasn't crowded, maybe about 15 other people in here besides my family (we were 10 people, so total was 25 in the place).  The service was good and attentive.  

The reason I wanted to…More »

  1/4/2010

This review is based on the type of place this is (a sort of take out Chinese restaurant).

I'm a fan of Chinese take out.  I think it tastes good.  I don't have a discerning taste when it comes to food, if it is truly authentic.  If it tastes good,…More »

I much prefer local bagel shops than this.  Got a turkey ciabatta - good, but nothing special.  Service was fast at least.

I'm not gonna lie - I think just seeing the $6 soup just really turned me off...soup should be cheap, unless it is gourmet or…More »

This Starbucks is PACKED in the morning.  I saw workers, runners, hipsters all come here.  The downstairs area is quite roomy, with working areas, comfy chairs, and one larger table.  Not the best in people watching, as it is below ground.

So, we came here for dinner on Christmas night, being the good Asians we are (gotta support the Asians on Christmas! haha).  The place is quite large and cavernous.  I'd say it can fit 600 people easily.

It's your normal family style Chinese…More »

Category: Airports

Neighbourhood: East Boston

3.0 star rating
  12/1/2010

Took the Logan Express here.  The airport itself seems kind of odd, with turns here and there and underpasses.  Doesn't seem like the most efficient airport.

Being in terminal E, I was last off.  I flew Southwest and I suppose here, it is a small…More »

My sister is checked in here after giving birth to twins (I'm an Uncle!), and even though I do not have first hand experience, I must say, this is a good hospital to go to.  

I came here to visit my sister, and I was pretty impressed.  There is a lot…More »

A bit pricey, but unlimited popcorn/drinks and awesome seating more than makes up for it.  I quite enjoy it.

  Update - 2/21/2012

Like in my earlier review, this place is good.  As always, packed (if there is one thing to know - when going to Chinese places, the more crowded, the better - that means fresh!).
