Boston Area

We have a week in Wellfleet booked for this September, barring the second wave of C-19. Any recent discoveries in the area? Or recommendations to share? Thanks!

I went to Mt. Vernon for lunch, they’re running a special menu till the 5th. Seating both inside and out. My choice was inside. The Lobster Roll was an excellent deal, I order it without the...

My 100 year old dad has an appointment at Mass Eye & Ear on a Friday. We would like to meet his cousin for lunch before the appointment. Obviously with their age group we would like to be careful a...

They took over the formerly Mr. Chan's location. I just stopped by today for a quick look and the place looks pretty much the same as before. The menu is the same as Billerica/Framingham. I'm soo h...

I've started to read Barbara Lynch's autobiography which is ok and a trip down memory lane, for sure. I have recognized all of the places she worked so far with the exception of Rocco's (also wi...

Those of us who grew up in the area in the 70s remember how good the rugelach at Lederman's Bakery, in Newton Centre, was. And although many of us discovered Cake Arts, in Sharon, after we lost Led...

Back in the 70's, there was an awesome, always crowded, very popular deli in Cambridge. They had the best corned beef on rye sandwich I ever had! Does anyone know if it still exists?

I know this is an odd question, but does anyone know where I might be able to find a seeded watermelon, or an oblong one? It seems all I can ever find are the round seedless one these days! Has the...

A friend was talking about how much she misses the eggplant recipe she had for years at Chef Chang's on Beacon Street in Brookline. She said the eggplant was in thin threads which I have never seen...

Here in the Northeast, we're getting very close to having some local tomatoes from our farmsteads. I'm so anxious to finally have tomatoes that have flavor. Most of the stuff available in super...

Anyone seen sour cherries in any of the markets around Boston? I have a craving to try a recipe for a sour cherry pie, and looking over old posts this seems to be about the time they were ripe last...

Heard about this beer on the menu at Oleana in Cambridge MA. Tasting comments?

Lots of places had been closed, but some have started reopening for takeout. In our area, we've noticed Branch Line in Watertown, Ritcey East (on a very limited basis), Rox Diner in Newtonville for...

It looks like this show is toast. I can't see it surviving even if Dave were to remove himself, he's caused too much damage for the brand to recover (IMO). While the show certainly has faults t...

There was a french restaurant when I was in college in the late 80's on Beacon Street in Brookline. I believe Vinny Testa's occupies that space now.TIA

Wife and I are moving from Southbridge, MA to Hudson, MA. We are BT fanatics, but we've heard from our friends that Firefly's is about to change all that. We've never been to Firefly's before. We a...
