August 5, 2015 Pure Cold Press

If you live in Brookline, you know Rami’s. Since opening in 1990, Rami’s has been serving up falafel to the community, with a recipe Rami brought over from Jerusalem. Recently, Rami’s son Haim opened up his own restaurant next door, Pure Cold Press, a casual place where you can grab a healthy bite to eat. The […]

July 21, 2015 Pomodoro

My sister in law was in town on business so we popped over to Pomodoro in Brookline Village. The restaurant is small, very intimate (it feels like a dinner party at your friend’s house) and the place is packed. The bar is the focal point of the restaurant, taking up a lot of real estate […]

July 15, 2015 Shanghai Jade

Shanghai Jade opened up in the old Zenna Noodle Bar space. While we ordered take out, we picked it up and we noticed that the space doesn’t seem like it is finished being decorated – like the college dorm room of restaurants. We ordered the pan friend raviolis (6 for $6.50) which were just average. […]

July 10, 2015 Tatte Bakery

Owner Tzurit Or opened Tatte in 2007 after moving to the US from Israel in 2004. The small shop in Brookline led to 4 additional locations around Boston/Cambridge and you can even buy Tatte’s pastries online. Brookline’s location has a few tables inside which are a little cramped on most days, but what’s great is […]

December 15, 2014 Lee’s Burger Place

I love a good burger, so I was excited to see that Lee’s Burger Place was taking over the old Naked Pizza space on Beacon Street in Coolidge Corner. The interior is stark, harsh white light and not much in the way of decor – no matter, I was here for takeout. They have a […]

November 4, 2014 Gilt City: Chef’s Tasting Menu at Ribelle

You may have heard of Ribelle (pronounced rih-BELL-ay), a small restaurant in Washington Square that has been heating up Brookline’s dining scene. You may have even seen that Globe columnist Devra First gave Tim Maslow a rare 4 stars last year. Maslow started his career by working his way up the ranks at the Momofuku […]

September 15, 2014 Fairsted Kitchen

My friend Jesse moved back to Boston after being away in California for 9 years. We celebrated his move back to the bean by heading over to Fairsted Kitchen. See my previous post here. Jesse was pumped about this because it’s just steps from their new home. Of course we had the scallops, just an […]

July 18, 2014 Fairsted Kitchen

I met my friend Julia after her golf lesson at Fairsted Kitchen. My friends had been raving about it, and I knew it was time to get in and try it for myself. They have a great little bar where they mix up inventive cocktails. The dining room is cozy and the ambiance makes you […]

July 7, 2014 Mr Sushi

Mr Sushi is located on Harvard Street in Coolidge Corner. Even though they are a Japanese restaurant, they have some delicious Korean options. The restaurant is very casual and almost all the menu items are under $20. We start with the gyoza ($6) that we have pan fried. The meat and veggie dumplings do not […]

June 24, 2014 Shiki

Shiki is a small Japanese restaurant located just off of Harvard St. in Coolidge Corner. It has probably been on my “to visit” list for 5 years….glad we finally made it! We arrived at a great time and we were seated right away – there was a bit of a wait as we came close […]
