Stow,
MA

Kathleen M. writes: Had lunch here, what a change from the old place. Clean, good food. They wipe the tables between customers. The Omlette is better priced than most restaurants, The Oatmeal is high, but it is real oatmeal with real maple syrup. I personally would…

Line them up, and chow them down. 6 dogs in 24 minutes... no bun wasted, no prisoners taken, and 66 minutes to let it digest. I gots me the Spike's T-shirt now and Dave, the owner took my very proud photo for the wall. Awesome.…

Ok. I don't make it a habit to go around feeling the baby's bottom, but my hands feel incredible. Thanks to a triple whammy of lemon crap that loosened my dead skin, sea salt crap that ripped it off, and…

You got me with Jimmy Carter. A banana and peanut butter smoothie? You gits! You'll turn me into a fat bastard before I know it.

Jane's Salad & Buffet
Neighborhood: Financial District
274 Franklin St
Boston,
MA
02110
Jess K. writes: $5/lb of sushi. Can you believe it! It can get expensive when you have no idea what a pound feels like so be careful. Don't waste your time on the fresh fruit because it tastes kind of gross. But definitely try all the different sushi! They don't…
Ginza Japanese Restaurant
1002 Beacon St
Brookline,
MA
02215
Jenny N. writes: I prefer Ginza's cozy atmosphere to Fukagyu's trendy posturing. Both do great sushi, but Ginza is more of a neighborhood-y place. I love that they have sake on draft here, and they serve a good lychee sake-tini. Every time a waitress walked by…
J. Earley's Salon
1018 Beacon Street
Brookline,
MA
02446
Sarah T. writes: J Earley's is hands down the best place I have ever gotten my curly hair cut. Great story of Jackie Earley starting up her own salon (near BU), trained in the Curlisto style (originally worked in Carriage House Salon - in Harvard Square).
$85 for…

Catering With Manners
350 Rantoul Street
Beverly,
MA
01915
Josie M. writes: Peter and Elaine Manners (hence the pun) own and run this lovely little lunchtime spot which gets the bulk of its business, I believe, from catering. Don't blink or you may miss this shop tucked away on a not-so-great stretch of Rantoul Street but…
Pro-Optical
175 Cambridge St
Boston,
MA
02114
Debra L. writes: This is where I got my sexy Tina Fey glasses. Well, really, they are just tortoise shell frames, kind of like hers, and I look nothing like Tina Fey when I wear them.
But, my guy says I do and he's got a little thing for her (who doesn't, right? men,…

Boston,
MA

Liz D. writes: My local. for sure.
So, you come to the North End for great Italian food in most cases if you're a tourist, but this gem at the end of Salem is not to be overlooked.
Sure, it's Irish. But it always has a great vibe about it, cool crowd, the insides…

Norwood,
MA
02062
Dawn E. writes: The only thing that sucked about my experience at Bon Caldo was who I chose to take.

1266 Commonwealth Ave
Allston,
MA
02134
Doug W. writes: Stores that require me to sign up for a card in order to get their sale prices piss me off. Perhaps the geniuses who came up with this idea enjoy lugging an inch-thick stack of plastic discount cards around with them, but I usually try to avoid…

The Construction Site
200 Moody St
Waltham,
MA
02454
Joyce K. writes: From basic blocks to computer-controlled robots, this toy store brings out the kid in me. The staff is very aloof and no where to be seen but honestly, that just means more guilt-free tampering with all the awesome legos and robots. I guess that's…

Z Wine Bar
3 Beacon St
Somerville,
MA
