I love their bakery- honey granola white chocolate cranberry cookies are the BEST. I often brave the aforementioned crowds & the parking lot just to check if the bakery has made these cookies. Of course, the produce is awesome, fresh herbs...the…More »

I always stop at Modern when I'm in the area, even more so now that I've moved out of state b/c I miss Modern more now!

I'm a huge fan of their fluffy & tasty vanilla cupcakes. Seriously, I dream about them. Every time I get a fancy cupcake that…More »

I visit Audubon Circle before Red Sox games pretty regularly...the pre-game crowds aren't too bad comparatively. Solid menu offerings- I like the black bean burger & roasted potatoes, potstickers and white bean hummus-like appetizer. Grilled cheese…More »

Neighbourhood: Allston/Brighton

8/25/2010

Just like the other Kelly's locations- yummy lobster rolls with plenty of the huge chunks of lobster, and only a touch of other ingredients (they don't drown in mayo, which is the key!) and a toasted buttery bun, fried clam strips & bellies are…More »

The best deal- the weekday dim sum combination specials! I got combo #1 which is 2 shrimp dumplings, 2 shumai, a rice dish (I got pan fried sticky rice) and a house special soup...all for under $7. Made fresh to order so all dim sum was very tasty.…More »

10/4/2008

Delicious food, huge portions, great value. I usually stick to my favorites but try to venture out and try something new once in awhile...their menu is huge. Tips- Put in your order (or call ahead), venture into the super 88 supermarket to pick up…More »

329 Harvard St
Brookline, MA 02446
(617) 731-1122

Categories: Sushi Bars, Japanese

Neighbourhood: Coolidge Corner

10/14/2008

For awhile, this was my go-to place for Sunday "brunch". Sunday paper in hand, passing the long lines next door at Zaftigs, I step into the relative calmness of Mr. Sushi and get seated right away. I order the same thing every time- the tempura…More »

Category: Mexican

9/17/2011

This location has been my most-frequented Anna's...just edging the one on Beacon St in Brookline. It's a pretty large Anna's- lines on both sides of the counters and a good amount of seating.

My usual is the regular chicken burrito with guac,…More »

Recently updated lists from Lucy W.

Inman Park/Old 4th Ward (25) Inman Park and Old Fourth Ward! Trying out all the places near where I live...love this neighborhood.	Making myself pretty (or at the very least- not scary) (10) I don't wake up looking like this...I gotta work at it. OK, not "work" per se, more like "pay" for it.
Decatur (9) Tons of great places to eat & imbibe...all within walking distance of a square.	Tastes of the Far East (20) Asian restaurants in Atlanta- I'm slowly compiling reviews from all the Asian restaurants I've tried in Atlanta- Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc...no 5-stars yet but plenty of 2-3-4 star places.
Carbo Loading- Italian Style (Atlanta) (9) Italian dining in Atlanta has made me a little gun shy...while I love Italian food, I had a couple awful Italian food experiences when I first arrived in this city and usually end up at the same 2-3 Italian places I do like...so hopefully, making a list will encourage me to try a few more restaurants out there. Here's all of what I tried (minus the pizza places).	Desert weekend getaway (11) Arizona vacation- Quick relaxing getaway, I need to make this a regular vacation destination!
Party of one! Dining solo (19) Places in Atlanta where I've felt comfortable dining by myself. The only requirement is that there's a bar or small tables off to the side- nice bartenders, easy parking and good people watching areas also are a plus. For me personally, It's also nice to have no judgment or people staring if I want to order multiple dishes to try and bring leftovers home :)	Restaurants to bring out-of-towners (14) Here's where I've brought family & friends visiting from out of town, who want some type of Atlanta food experience
Being a tourist in Atlanta (13) I moved to Atlanta 2 years ago but I still enjoy exploring the city like a tourist.	Dim Sum Quest- Atlanta (8) UPDATE: Found great dim sum!!!! See my last review on the list for Golden House. Original list description: I've pretty much given up on this one...I don't think great dim sum exists in Atlanta (especially a la carte and to go) so I'll have to settle for just good dim sum.
