19/01/11 Comellas

I had been to Comella’s a while back, the Brookline location, and just recently visited the Needham location. The tiny location (Needham) is charming-I love the Pellegrino bottles in the window (they do the same in Brookline). There are a few tables to sit and dine in at, and they were all taken by business […]

19/01/11 Lilly’s Gourmet Pasta

Lilly’s Gourmet pasta is located on Brighton Avenue, near where the old Harper’s Ferry used to be. It’s a tiny little shop that you might miss if you weren’t looking for it. It has one table for four inside and counter seats looking out the window onto the street-so most of their business is take-out […]

15/01/11 The best thing since the invention of the pu pu platter

Here it is…the Johnny Wonton soup at Lavender. Wonton Soup, with noodles, chicken and boneless spare ribs. Need I say more? I didn’t think so. See previous post: http://dgrubs.wordpress.com/2010/10/12/lavender/ Lavender Asian Cuisine and Bar 519 Boston Post Road Sudbury, MA 01776 (978) 579-9988 www.lavenderasiancuisine.com/

14/01/11 Ramis

I thought it was about time for me to try Rami’s. I have seen them in all sorts of publications and featured on different television shows. They have been around for 18 years, serving the Coolidge Corner area Kosher Israeli/Middle Eastern food. They are always pretty crowded every time I drive by, and the night […]

14/01/11 Angora Ice

Located under the Star Market on Route 9, Angora Ice is the off shoot of Angora Cafe in Boston. Angora Cafe features middle eastern foods, roll ups, wraps, high quality frozen yogurt and smoothies. Angora Ice does not serve food, they have a few pre-made options, instead they focus on frozen yogurt, gelato and sorbet. […]

13/01/11 Legal C Bar

Legal C Bar in the Legacy Place Mall in Dedham is a mix of the Legal Sea Foods you know and love mixed with a little something new. I went there for lunch on a weekday afternoon and it was packed. Inside, it is spacious with a balcony seating area which I love-it gives you […]

13/01/11 Snow storm at Panera

You would think that just after a major snowstorm, people would be in their houses, but as we made our way over to Panera at lunchtime on Wednesday…we were proven wrong. The Coolidge Corner Panera was packed to the gills with families, people on laptops and kids home from school. There wasn’t a seat to […]

09/01/11 Rosie’s Bakery

Rosie’s bakery makes pretty darn good brownies. Show above is their award winning ‘chocolate orgasm’ brownie-which you can buy by the tray (above) or you can buy per piece (below). A chocolate fudge  brownie with a layer of smooth creamy chocolate frosting! It was acknowledged by Chocolatier magazine for one of the best chocolate recipes […]
