I've been blessed that each time I've had dinner here, I've received good service. The flatbreads are a must and the burgers are pretty much on the mark in terms of juiciness.....the place is tiny, but I think they try to accommodate patrons as much…More »

The 1st Mexican restaurant experience in Boston was alittle strange...our food tasted nothing like the Mexican food that I've had back home in LA.  In fact, it wasn't even close to chains like Acapulco or El Torito (American's bland version of…More »

Sunday brunch is the best here but seriously, you need to be ready to wait in the line that forms every weekend. Mark, the host/server/gatekeeper of the Café is awesome and gets you in as soon as possible. And occasionally when he has a chance,…More »

I currently reside a block away from the original City Feed and like the idea that I can walk down on a Saturday morning to pick up some OJ, a few scones and back at home in 10 minutes. It makes living in JP so special, it's the little things that…More »

The best feature of living in JP is by far the Pond. I try to head here at least 2-3 times a week to enjoy a brisk jog, the weather (when it's not storming!) and the scenery. So when is the best time to visit the Pond? Right before sunset, it's…More »

It's a JP institution. Whenever anyone visits the neighborhood, it's a requirement to hit up JP Licks for a scoop of ice cream. It's a family affair which I really enjoy. You can hang out with the kiddies, pop-up your laptop for WiFi access, or meet…More »
