Mary "Maz" B.'s Profile
The Kingdom of Maldenia
See All Lists
1. City of Malden
So, I still really like Malden but it's definitely not the "end all to be all". I will jog or walk around the neighborhood and I'm constantly entertained by the places and the people, in good and bad ways. There will be a really cute family pushing…More »

When I moved to the Boston area I wanted to live somewhere that was happening, had lots of young… Read more »
2. Orange Line MBTA
Lately, if I ride outside of morning and evening rush hours, as in when "the normals" ride, I feel like I'm in the middle of a creepstar sandwich.

3. Theo's Pizzeria
Malden, MA 02148
USA
+1-781-388-1040
Categories:
Greek,
Italian,
Pizza,
Mediterranean
There is a desperate lack of good take-out/delivery places in Malden. I'm tired of mediocre pizza and suspect Asian noodlies so Theo's was given a shot at making my lazy Saturday night dream of good take-out come true. Granted, this place does do…More »
4. Paul's Foreign Auto Repair
I don't think there's much in the world that can stress me out than finding a good auto repair shop. I always feel so intimidated and worried that I'm going to get ripped off or played.
Enter Paul's. Right on the cornah of Ferry and Eastern in…More »
5. Honey Fitz Irish Pub - CLOSED
I like the Fitz. Cheap & strong drinks. Pool, darts, and that deer hunting game. Weird old man that sits in the same place everynight. More townies than you can shake a stick at. JFK's face is everywhere, blessing it from beyond.
It doesn't try…More »
6. Lamson & Davis Hardware
I love browsing Home Depot or Lowes, but when I actually need to find something specific I end up wanting to stab myself with a selection from their 200 varieties of nails. I was super psyched when Lamson opened and I didn't have to deal with the big…More »
7. Joti Palace
I got take-out from here recently and the quality of the food is still good. We got chicken tikka masala and chana masala, with rice, and plain naan for around $23 total. Everything with the order was correct and there was more than enough for 2,…More »

Joti is my local Indian place so I have a bit of a soft spot for it. The first time I came here it… Read more »
8. All Seasons Table
Pleasant Street in Malden is a pretty good representation of the strange puzzle that is Malden. There's townies flocking to the bars, work-a-day folks heading to the bank or the Dollar Store, and harmless teenage hoodies hanging on the church lawn.…More »
9. Malden Taxi
When NWA screwed me over (the airline, not Dr. Dre and Ice Cube) and changed the schedule of a flight to early morning, well before the T wakes up, I put the call in to pre-book a taxi at the crack of 4:30 AM to Logan. The call took about 30 seconds…More »
10. Pearl Street Station Restaurant
I keep forgetting that this is a local eating option because I just walk by it everyday and it's become the background to my semi-lucid to and from work walks to the T.
The food is fine, as long as you're not expecting inventive fare and are cool with…More »
11. Elmwood Pharmacy
Malden, MA 02148
USA
+1-781-322-2117
For those in the know, it's simply known as "The Pharmacy." A trip here can be either an amusing yet subdued affair or an awe inspring look inside the dark heart of Malden.
First of all, I can't believe it's an actual working pharmacy. It has none…More »
12. Pisa Pizza
The boneless wings still reign supreme and rule the Kingdom of Maldenia with their deliciousness.

13. Summer St Fruit
My bad - they do sell fruits and veggies! Not a full produce section for sure, but they had onions, oranges, and bananas when I popped in last night. I was craving blue box macaroni - bam, they had it! Kudos to the full shelf of wine and the…More »

This is where I go for beer or a soda if I'm too lazy to go elsewhere. The layout is pretty crappy,… Read more »
14. Super 88 Market
The sign still says Super 88, but the bags and the receipt say Hong Kong Supermarket. I guess they're in that awkward transitional stage. Their Facebook status would definitely be "It's Complicated."
So much improved from the previous incarnation.…More »

15. Fellsmere Park
Martin Amis referred to Ladbroke Square in London as "Dogshit Park" in his book The Information. In honor of that great Anglo literary tradition, I have come to refer to Fellsmere Park as "Gooseshit Park."
This is not a destination park and there's…More »
16. Veez Grill & Tap - CLOSED
Geez... Veez...
This is the townie clubby bar of your dreams and nightmares. During the day and evening they serve nuclear nacho piles with jalapeno dribblings and other tasty treats to Keno addicts and the staff of the Elmwood Pharmacy (scroll to…More »
17. DiPietro's Pizza
I have never been the kind of person to go gaga for buffalo wings. And then I met my boyfriend, and I have successfully been converted.
I drive by this place a lot and the neon sign proclaiming their service of wings to the community finally enticed…More »
18. Hugh O'Neill's Pub & Restaurant
I used to think Hugh's was great - a relaxing pub (fireplace!) with lots of TVs for sports viewing, decent food and Wachusett Blueberry on tap. In a sea of Malden townie bars, Hugh's stood out. My opinon of Hugh's has gone majorly downhill over the…More »
19. Dockside
"Welcome to the dark side."
That is what goes through my head each time I pass by Dockside. Walking inside is a bit like what I would imagine entering the Death Star would be like. As Yoda would say...
You go to Dockside, why should, hmm? If you…More »
20. Rosebud Farms
Grody grody! I stopped in here one day on a quest to find an alternative to Stop and Shop for produce and deli meats and cheeses. When I walked in I was immediately struck by an intensely bad smell. Couldn't put my finger on it but it really made…More »
21. artSPACE@16 - CLOSED
The physical space is closed, but the website is still up and running and chock full of archives and information on what's going on in the art world in Malden.
22. Artichokes Ristorante Trattoria - CLOSED
Closed! It appears to be in the throes of renovation and there is a new sign that says Montebello... so to be continued...
