Dining Out Boston

Crazy Dough’s is one thing and Pizzeria Regina is certainly another. The latter easily serves Boston’s best pizza in its old-school North End locale.
I ate lunch at Pizzeria Regina every single Saturday in December as a means of fueling up to face the Christmas-crazed shopping crowds but had never visited at dinnertime until Friday. […]

In my continuing search for the Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie, I stopped by the The Boston Chipyard at Faneuil Hall on the way to meet Bunches for dinner (see forthcoming post on Pizzeria Regina).
A certain purple-themed restaurant reviewer had oohed and aahed over the quality of the Chipyard’s goods and I was eager to try […]

Harvard Square isn’t known for cheap food, but Crazy Dough’s creative pizzas are a welcome exception. Last night I met my friend Andrew for dinner, and with less than six dollars in each of our pockets, we decided slices of pizza were probably the only way to go. (Parismony does have such a […]

I’m making a serious revision in my prior assessment of Chinese restaurants. In an earlier post I referred to the “Big Three” Chinatown establishments, which I claimed were superior to all others in the neighborhood. It was a foolish and premature judgment given that on Saturday night I had the absolute best Chinese food […]

At last a decent breakfast. I devoted much of this past week to finding cafes and bakeries serving delectable breakfast baked goods but had poor luck. It seems no one in Boston has taken it upon himself to make and sell the perfect scone, coffee cake, or muffin.
There are, of course, plenty […]

I’ve decided not to be lame and lecture on how “real” Irish people don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Instead, I offer all you wannabe micks some suggestions of noteworthy restaurants for getting your shamrock on.
But don’t say I didn’t warn you about Irish food.

Free corned beef sandwiches all day long. Yum. […]

I was sorely disappointed this morning to find that Milk Street Cafe was not a bastion of beautiful breakfast baked goods as I had hoped, but rather just another coporate sandwich joint desperately trying to distinguish itself.
Perhaps I’m being a bit too harsh as I didn’t sample any of the grilled panini or other sandwiches. […]

City Feed and Supply is a wee little store so this will be a wee little entry.
This blink-and-you’ll-miss-it corner shop is a favorite among JP residents and very close to Bunches’ house, so I stopped to pick up some breakfast on the way back from a run. Bagels, muffins, baked goods, coffee drinks, and […]

My rainy walk from Coolidge Corner to Kupel’s Bake and Bagels (that’s actually the name on the sign) was well-rewarded. From across the street I could smell the doughy confections that give any bagelry in Boston (or New York, for that matter), a run for its money.

The brightly-lit corner shop is just three large […]

Ah, sweet Boston, how I missed you. Florida is warm but little else.
Faithful readers, this week is all about breakfast. And breakfast-related baked goods. Stay tuned.
