April 25, 2014 Piperi

After enjoying my lunch at Piperi, I decided to stop in for dinner. It is much quieter at dinner time, and I kind of like that. Unfortunately I have missed Tim, the owner, I would have liked to have had a chance to chat with him. Americo greets me as warmly as he did when […]

April 24, 2014 The Local – Wayland

We had been to The Local in Newton, and decided to try out the one in Wayland, a suburb west of Boston. While the dining room looks like it wasn’t crowded, the area on the other side of the bar was packed. The bar was hopping with people coming in to watch the game. Looking […]

April 22, 2014 Lanta Asian Cuisine

This tiny place is jam packed crowded. Good thing we called in our order. We wait near the tables, next to a space heater and a fish tank with these creepy looking fish inside… There are a few tables here, but it is certainly tight, most people are getting takeout. I have the crispy chicken […]

April 16, 2014 Fajitas and ‘Ritas

Fajitas and ‘Ritas was established in 1989. It sits on West Street, just around the corner from the Opera House. We stopped in for lunch on Saturday afternoon. It has a different vibe in the afternoon – there are more families that come in, as opposed to a Friday or Saturday night when the place […]

The President was in Harvard Square on the one night that I have a massage appointment. They told me in advance that I wouldn’t be able to drive in – the Charles Hotel garage would be closed to the public. No problem, I hop in a cab and rush over after work…only to find that […]
