Boston Area

I'm looking for ideas for someone who really likes bitters: fernet branca, and unicum. I was wondering about sfugmato, if that is worth getting? He has fernet, fernet menta, nonino, Ramazzotti, ape...

Anyone have a favourite bakery that has stopped living up to its name? A favourite pastry that just isn't the same anymore?

An old post recommended Marty's liquors in Newton. Still? Any others?

Haven't seen any posts about Sanyo in Lexington, which replaced Yangtse River. It's pretty good for a fusion restaurant. The Japanese and sushi is decent, and the Chinese is good, too. Of note, ...

I'm sure this has been discussed quite often this time of year, but CH's search function would have to get better just to suck. Entering 'thanksgiving buffet' as the criteria I'm getting results fr...

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'm looking for a store near Boston (very willing to drive a few hours away) where I can talk to someone knowledgeable about Japanese chef's knives and buy one. I don't want to go to a big commerci...

Can anyone share any good restaurants that either have good kids menus with real food, or that is happy to do smaller portions of main entrees for small children? I don't mean "kid friendly." Ki...

I signed up to bring dessert to the family Thanksgiving dinner and I have no interest in cooking/baking for 30 people. Two catches: First, we are going to Boston, so it needs to travel well. Se...

[NOTE: We've moved this discussion from the thread at http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/329906# -- The Chowhound Team] We moved to S. Florida about 10 years ago and the Chinese food is awful. B...

This used to be my favorite Chinese restaurant. It was located in Newton Center, and closed while I had been living out of the area. Anyone know if the owners/chef/etc ended up anywhere else?
