February 16, 2016 Little Big Diner

If you’re headed to Little Big Diner for lunch, I highly suggest you get there early. They open at 11:30. I showed up at 11:15 and by 11:20 there were people starting to get in line, so I jumped out of my car and got in line – good thing too, because by 11:30 the […]

November 28, 2015 Deluxe Station Diner

The Deluxe Station Diner is located in a historic train station from 1870 that was designed by HH Richardson. The interior has this really cool Harry Potter/steampunk vibe to it. I love any place where you can get breakfast all day! And they are open 7am-9pm Sunday – Thursday and 7am-10pm Fridays and Saturdays. Leah […]

December 18, 2013 The Local

Weekends at the Local are always crowded. We manage to score seats relatively quickly right behind the bar. The Local is a bit noisy, it is after all a bar. There is a good mix of people here, friends catching up, families with young children, and people coming in to watch the game at the […]

September 16, 2013 Bill’s Pizzeria

We stopped by Bill’s on a Thursday night. The place was busy but not full. There were a lot of young couples, high school kids after sports practice, and young families. Bill’s is a casual place, order at the counter, grab a seat in their dining area and they call you when you’re ready. We […]

We were the first ones to arrive at the restaurant when we showed up at 5:30pm on a Monday evening. The place started to get busier by the time we were served our main course. Lumiere is an upscale (but dress is business casual) restaurant located in West Newton serving fine French cuisine. The decor […]

51 Lincoln is located at, where else but 51 Lincoln Street in Newton Highlands. This small restaurant is empty when it first opens for dinner, but fills up rather quickly. The noise is at a normal hum as we come inside from the cold. We are greeted by the host, who promptly thanks us for […]

November 22, 2010 Cabot’s Ice Cream

Cabot’s has been around for over 40 years. I remember going here as a kid for an ice cream birthday party and having so much fun. I recently went back for a light lunch, but who am I kidding, I really went there for the ice cream. It is pretty crowded for a late lunch […]
