29/03/10 JP Licks

I realize that when I post this, I’m setting myself up for a lot of flack. JP Licks has a cult following. You’d know this if you ever drove by one on a warm summer night. The one in Brookline has people lined up down the block and all the benches in the area are […]

29/03/10 Jerry Remy’s

Jerry Remy’s had its soft opening on March 15th. The Grand Opening will be sometime in early April. I mention this because when we went there on the 25th, the waitress says to us, ‘is this your first time here?’  I laugh to myself, because I think it’s a safe bet that it’s most people’s […]

29/03/10 Centre Street Cafe

Centre Street Cafe is this cute little place on (where else but) Centre Street in Jamaica Plain. I think that it’s really hard to find places that serve a good breakfast, which is why on the weekends there is always a line around the block to get into this place. It’s like the Zaftigs of […]

28/03/10 La Morra

I apologize in advance for the poor picture quality. Dim lighting paired with poor camera phone equals bad pictures. We arrive and they are participating in restaurant week. The regularly offer a ‘prezzo fisso’ menu that is four courses for $35. Three of us order the restaurant week menu and one orders a la carte […]

27/03/10 Battle of the Burrito

There are so many choices for burritos in this city it’s insane: Ole Cito, Dorado, Baja Bettys, Anna’s, Boca, Boloco, and Chipotle to name a few. I personally am an Anna’s kind of gal, who’s your favorite? Let’s start with Chipotle. Let me start by saying that these burritos are huge, the size of a […]

25/03/10 Il Capriccio

Located on Main Street in Waltham, this Italian restaurant serves up some fine Northern Italian fare. I had a gift certificate from a while back that I needed to use, thus the out of the way choice in restaurants.  The first time we came here, the bill was a bit pricey, over $100 for 2. […]

24/03/10 Restaurant Week

I’m not sure how I really feel about restaurant week. While yes, you can get a 3 course dinner for $33, by the time you get down to it, it’s never $33. Add on booze and some places have food with additional fees, at that point, you mind as well just order off the regular […]

24/03/10 When Pigs Fly

Yes, you can get this bread in the market, but sometimes, isn’t it more fun to go to the company’s store? You can sample the bread there, you can’t do that at the market… When Pigs Fly is a company that started in 1993, and  is based out of Maine. They drive their breads down […]

21/03/10 Jamba Juice

I love Jamba Juice. I always make sure to stop for one (ok sometimes I go more than once) when I am in New York, and even Chicago. I was always so sad that there wasn’t one in Boston. And then, like Sonic, one opened in Boston! Here’s the catch…it’s in the Boston University Student […]
