May 28, 2014 Beat Hotel

We loved Beat Hotel so much the first time, that we decided to go back again for another meal. This time, we ate before the music started for the evening. The restaurant is much lighter and it has a very different feel to it. We have the smoky chipotle ribs ($14) which were delicious as […]

April 28, 2014 El Centro Dos

El Centro is located in Brookline Village, near the Edible Arrangements store. The space is small, but a large mural and bright colors help open up the space. It’s fairly quiet on a weekday night, with about 3 other tables sat, but they were doing quite a bit of take out. I’m a glutton for […]

February 10, 2014 Mija Cantina

While everyone was clearing out of the city for the snowmageddon, and old cor-worker and I were meeting for dinner in Faneuil Hall. Missing the guacamole at Zocalo, which was by our old office, we head to Mija to see if/how their guacamole stands up. Not surprising, there are only about 12 other people here. […]

December 13, 2013 Beantown Hoagie

When I asked my co-workers what they thought of Beantown Hoagie, they replied, “it was good, and man do they have a lot of chips”. And indeed, they do have an amazing selection – if you can’t find a chip you would like here, I’d be concerned. The service is always efficient, and the people […]

December 11, 2013 Anthem

We decided to go to Anthem before the Faneuil Hall tree lighting. We arrived at 4:45pm, early bird dinner, I know! When we arrive the place was pretty packed and I overheard them saying that the wait was anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. Good thing we made a reservation. We were brought upstairs […]

November 15, 2013 Boston Chowda Co.

The day was cold and rainy, which of course called for soup for lunch. I stopped into Faneuil Hall for some corn chowder from the Boston Chowda Co. The medium chowder warmed me up, it had a decent flavor and was full of corn and potatoes. The corn bread on the other hand was as […]
