Dining Out Boston

In between rainstorms this past weekend, I visited PICCO, or Pizza and Ice Cream Company, a cutesy pizza and ice cream parlor in the South End.

Despite the frequent showers, PICCO was hoppin’ and we sat at the bar to avoid waiting for a table. After some flagging, a waitress distributed red-rimmed menus and told […]

On Friday night, Ariel and I met in Downtown Crossing and began our trek to Orinoco, the South End’s hot-shot Venezuelan restaurant, which as I mentioned previously, has been written up in the New York Times, Improper Bostonian, etc., etc.
Fast forward 45min. later: Ariel and I are drenched, darting from doorway to doorway in the […]

Greetings Foodies,
Pardon my recent delinquency in posting. I was on a “vacation” from posting, and by vacation I mean period of intense work for my day job.

Tonight, […]

This review is long overdue, considering Bunches has been waiting tables at Croma for more than a month and I have been pledging just as long to visit him at work.

On Saturday night, we gathered for a send-off dinner at Rendezvous […]

On days when C-line trains are few and far between, I go home “backwards” and take the D-line to Brookline Village. Then, I inevitably pass Baja Betty’s and wonder whether all those online reviews citing their mediocre burritos are just Anna’s Taqueria zealots.
Yesterday, I indulged my curiosity, purchasing a Watsonville ($6.90), a “smaller” version […]

Inman Square newcomer Atwood’s Tavern is well on its way to becoming a neighborhood favorite. The cozy bar and restaurant, with dark wood paneling and exposed brick, is English pub meets New York loft…and it works.
Although it’s a bit of trek for non-Cambridge residents, Atwood’s is a good fit for those looking for a […]

Jacob Wirth has received ample attention in the past few weeks, in part because of the Metro article detailing its rambunctious Wold Cup match parties. Indeed, when I called to make a reservation (completely unnecessary, I realized later) on early Friday afternoon for that evening, an Irish waitress shouted into the phone over the […]
