My kid likes to read lots of books, and one of his favorites is "George and Martha", by James Marshall. You remember George and Martha, the two best friends/possibly lovers/possibly siblings hippos who enjoy mischief and each others' company. In the…More »

Worst outdoor venue to see a show in New England, bar none.  I will easily second everything that John S. said in his review, plus add a bit more. The area that the venue inhabits is an industrial/urban crap hole. The roads that leads in and out…More »

Not bad overall, but other reviewers haven't made mention of three important things.
1. Prices here are massively expensive. It's like an overpriced William-Sonoma that's focused on bread. Case in point: a 5 lb bag of white flour costs almost $5 here,…More »

We now know where the old beatniks and hippies ended up...standing behind the counter at City Lights as cranky, crabbing old men who carp at the customers. (To be fair, there are young people working here who do try to be more helpful, most of the…More »

This review is mostly for Ligaya. Our beloved Boston Community Manager is moving to the Bay Area. Sooner or later, she'll hear the name of the North Beach restaurant spill from the lips of some Yelper and go in for a dip.

NBR, my dear Ligaya, is much…More »

Another yummy bacon cheeseburger, but seriously poor attitude on the part of the server. A request for a soda refill was met with an angry look and a sharp "You're gonna hafta pay for that refill", to which I replied, "Well, if you don't hop to and…More »

Good burger, but this was overshadowed by the GIANT BLACK ANTS IN MY DIET COKE. And I'm not saying one little ant. There was a friggin' nest of them in there! AW HELL NO!

Ok, so if you're a server in this scenario, you'd be horrified, right? And at…More »

Look! Shamu makes big splashes! Hooray! This was well worth the month's salary it cost me to get my family into the park!

Most of all it's just boring. RIP Marineland. At least there you could go snorkeling on the Baja reef.

Smells like fish, tastes…More »

Normally there's no way in hell that I could ever justify giving the abominable  and corporate Italian OG chain a three star review, but this OG seems to be an anomaly. We popped off the highway long enough to grab a bite (we'd done Foxboro to H-burg…More »

Minus one star for extreme creepster-ism.

Jamestown, VA is the first known settlement of Europeans on the US continent, arriving in 1607. Over the first few years, the settlers battled disease, food scarcity, and the constant threat of Indian attack…More »

Mere spitting distance over the Connecticut River from Hanover, NH, the Norwich Farmers' Market is just down the street from the King Arthur flour factory. I've been to a lot of farmers' markets and this one is quite good based just on sheer variety…More »

In the putrid redneck tourist hell of Virginia Beach, there is thankfully one bright spot of hospitality. This Sheraton is nicely appointed, with clean, comfortable rooms and a pretty good restaurant attached.  The service was friendly and it's right…More »

Nestled in the French Quarter, Ralph and Kacoo's (I could shout "Kacoo! Kacoo!" over and over until I was hoarse. What a great name!) is a good way for anyone interested in a starter course on New Orleans cooking to get jumped in. The restaurant is…More »

When I get to hell, it will be exactly like Circus-Circus. Satan will be operating the Ferris wheel. The legion of demons will clean the substandard rooms. Beelzebub will be the concierge. Since it's hell, you'll never be able to leave; so why not…More »

Crowded, touristy, deep-fried goodness. Great cafe au lait mixed with chickory...bring home a pound and freeze it for special occasions. Don't wear black while eating your beignet...you'll get so much powered sugar on your shirt that people will…More »

Overpriced drinks with a ridiculous cover charge that gives you very little to show for it.  My friend got leglessly drunk here and enjoyed the free shots, but she only got them because of her cleavage. It pays to be a female in this bar, but the…More »

I am completely ethically opposed to Wal-Mart in every way, shape, and form. They exploit their workers and inundate the market with cheap consumer goods. They destroy local businesses. In short, Wal-Mart needs to die.

However, I can marginally…More »
