Tarticus

Jen’s gallery was an amazing success this weekend so we decided to go out and celebrate. Jen hadn’t been to Bella Luna down the street and it seemed like the perfect time to visit the unique JP eatery at Hyde Square.

Review: Parish Cafe

So Jen’s fancy job at Boston Photo Imaging is right next door to the Parish Cafe. The folks at Parish have gotten about a thousand “Best of” awards in the city, so last Friday we went to check out the hype.

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

Damn Good Reuben!

As part of Jen’s quest to completely deplete the city of Brookline of reuben sandwiches we stopped at Michael’s Deli in Coolidge Corner to take a bite out of the city’s remaining supply.

Review: Carlos Goldstein’s

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

Not Chile Colorado!

So I hadn’t eaten all day and I needed the power of Mexican food to lead a rehearsal of the understudies all by myself. I spotted Carlos Goldstein’s and instantly thought of Shalom Beijing in Boston. Could this be Glatt Kosher Mexican food?

Review: Garden Of Eden

Saturday, May 27th, 2006

Jen and I were in the South End, where I’d just gotten out of work.  We weren’t sure where to go for a late dinner, so we walked down Tremont looking for somewhere we could eat outside. We found the Garden of Eden, a small bistro focused on fresh ingredients. All the flavor of fresh produce like you get on the Central Coast, without the reasonable prices.
