23/12/13 Beat Hotel

I usually agree with Devra First’s reviews, but a few days ago she gave Beat Hotel 1 1/2 stars. Located in Harvard Square, Beat Hotel, inspired by the hippie movement is a new venture from the group that brought you the Beehive. Located below ground level, Beat Hotel feels a little like your friend’s basement. […]

20/12/13 Wagamama

A cold day calls for soup, and in this instance, Ramen! A few coworkers and I run out to Wagamama to pick up some soup. I call ahead and am placed on hold for 5 minutes. I hang up and call back and my order is taken right away. When we head to the restaurant, […]

19/12/13 Mei Mei Street Kitchen (Brick and Mortar Location)

Have you been as anxious about Mei Mei Street Kitchen’s brick and mortar location opening as I have? Or maybe it’s just too cold for you to stand outside at the food truck. Either way, stop by for a bite, you won’t be sorry. Mei Mei took over a space in BU’s south campus that […]

18/12/13 The Local

Weekends at the Local are always crowded. We manage to score seats relatively quickly right behind the bar. The Local is a bit noisy, it is after all a bar. There is a good mix of people here, friends catching up, families with young children, and people coming in to watch the game at the […]

17/12/13 Oak Long Bar and Kitchen

Located in the Back Bay, in the Copley Fairmont, Oak Long Bar + Kitchen has been newly renovated/restored (previously the Oak Bar). Even though the room is updated  it gives a nod to tradition. The high ceilings are charming (even if it makes the room a little noisy) along with the long copper bar that […]

17/12/13 Seasons (Dinner)

The service is top notch from the moment you set foot inside the restaurant. You are brought to your table and presented with an iPad with the wine menu. The waiter, who greets you by name, waits until you are settled and then asks if s/he can present you with the dinner menu. We have […]

16/12/13 Foumami

Foumami is one of my go to spots for lunch these days. I convinced myself that ribeye sandwiches aren’t healthy to get every day (even though they are mighty delicious), and I decided to branch out and try new things here. The glass noodle salad above($7.55) comes with  glass noodles, spinach, carrots, egg omelet, wood […]

13/12/13 Beantown Hoagie

When I asked my co-workers what they thought of Beantown Hoagie, they replied, “it was good, and man do they have a lot of chips”. And indeed, they do have an amazing selection – if you can’t find a chip you would like here, I’d be concerned. The service is always efficient, and the people […]

13/12/13 Seasons (Brunch)

Sunday’s Seasons has a jazz brunch. We were leaving early in the morning, so unfortunately we didn’t get to enjoy much of the jazz as it starts late morning. They were just getting started in the lobby as we were leaving. You can order a la carte or you can order the full buffet for […]
