When searching for the best sushi around Boston, three names kept popping up: O Ya, Oishii, and Oga's (in Natick). After watching a wonderful documentary called, Jiro Dreams of Sushi, about the world's greatest sushi chef, I became obsessed with trying truly high quality sushi. Unfortunately, such sushi is costly and far more expensive than... Continue Reading →
Everyone loves a good sausage and Chez Pascal has some good sausages. The name might throw you off into thinking that this is some puffed up self-important French restaurant, but it isn't. The main restaurant is very nice, but inside they have a section called the "Wurst Kitchen." My friends and I ate there to... Continue Reading →
This past Valentine's Day, I went to dinner at Bergamot in Somerville, MA with two friends and my girlfriend on the day before Valentine's Day to beat the rush. I picked the restaurant because it had pretty good reviews and someone recommended it to me although I can't remember who it was. Nonetheless, before we... Continue Reading →

This was not the case with: El Rancho Grande 311 Plainfield Street Providence, RI 02909 A few friends recommended this place... Continue Reading →
It's hard to find really good sushi in the Boston area. After watching the documentary, "Jiro Dreams of Sushi," (a great film and a must see) I am even more skeptical about whether or not what we Americans eat as sushi is even considered sushi by quality standards. Nonetheless, I went to Fuji 1546 (not... Continue Reading →
While in Quincy, MA, I drove by a couple of clam shacks on Wollaston Beach. The logical result was a hankering for a lobster roll. First thing I did, was search reviews for the best lobster roll in Quincy and the reviews seemed almost unanimous, that Tony's Clam Shop had the goods. I went to... Continue Reading →
In honor of my friend's birthday, seven friends and I decided to go to the newly opened, Hops N Scotch at 1306 Beacon Street in Brookline, MA near Coolidge Corner. I first noticed the upcoming opening of Hops N Scotch as I walked by while it was still under construction on the 4th of July.... Continue Reading →
