Dok Bua is a super-cheap, fantastic little Thai place tucked away on Harvard St. right on the boundary of Brookline and Alston. They offer a huge variety of apps and entrees. Everything I had there was fresh and very flavorful. I would highly recommend this place. Tom Kha Gai There is something incredibly comforting about this…
Masa is not your ordinary South End jewelry-box; it is truly a force to be reckoned with. The ambience is light, airy, comfortable yet elegant, perfect for both after-work drinks and snacks (in the bar/lounge) with friends and special occasion celebrations (in the dining room). The menu features creative pairings, dishes infused with simple Southwestern…
Tacos in the Northeastern United States almost never cease to be a let-down. Here I describe three sets of tacos I have encountered in the past few month and compare them to show how I feel about this lamentably unfilled niche in Boston.

This is not an elegant restaurant; by the end of the meal, your hands will be sticky with some sauce or…
The Beehive‘s jazz brunch is definitely one of the best in town. Against the eclectic yet elegant, artistic backdrop, the food stands out as superb – American classics with hints of Middle Eastern and Eastern European influence. Jazz is performed every Saturday and Sunday between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. but spots fill up quick,…
Never thought I’d actually come to miss and have fond memories of living in East Boston, but I do. And most of these memories come from the great variety of cheap, hole-in-the-wall restaurants and the modest but always satisfying dishes they are almost always characterized by. Although I’ve never actually been to Teriyaki Yummy in…
