Dining Out Boston

A long, long time ago, when I was just a bright-eyed, forgiving restaurant reviewer, I wrote an entry on Michael’s Deli in Brookline. As I did not review the establishment’s piece de resistance, I vowed to return and review again.
This past Saturday, roughly six months later, I visited Michael’s Deli but to some […]

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 […]

Garden of Eden resembles a large, comfortable, country […]

Critics claim Michael’s Deli in Brookline has one of the best corned beef sandwiches in Boston, so why did I get the tuna fish?
