March 8, 2011 MET Back Bay

We met friends at the MET Back Bay for dinner a few weeks ago. Located on the corner of Dartmouth and Newbury Street, this place is much homier than the other locations. You walk in to the hostess stand and there is a staircase going up and one going down. Bars are located on both […]
