Our Own List of "Must Visit"
Restaurants:
- Hamersley's
Bistro is one of our premier spots and thought of
visiting Boston without visiting Hamerley's Bistro is unthinkable.
Those of you who are local only need to travel to stop taking
it for g
- L'Espalier
is a sublime fixed prix French Restaurant. Since the menu
changes daily, they are unable to post more than a sample
online. This is certainly a charmer both in terms of
food and the decor. Even those claiming to be sick of French
food will surrender.
-
Brown Sugar Cafe
offers Thai cooking. It may not be as special as the top two
on our list, but phrases like "family restaurant"
and "phenomenal cooking" don't usually go together
and at Brown Sugar Cafe, they do. Everyone seems to give a
great rating, by the way, so we're not alone.
- Mr. Sushi at 329 Harvard Street,
Brookline is just as good as Ginza without the having to face
the sqeezing throngs of humanity that comes along with Ginza's
high Zagat rating.
Chocolate
and Chocolate Desserts:
L.A.
Burdick Handmade Chocolates. This is certainly a place everyone
should get to once in their lives, even if the doctors have
restricted your fat intake. Break out the Lipitor, and then
order the hot chocolate and some tasters plate of any of their
home made chocolates. Those of you who are familiar with the
very best chocolate shops in Paris and Belguim will feel right
at home here. Those folks are just plain serious about chocolate
but still manage to have fun. Pass the Lipitor. "Don't
mind if I do!"
Ice Cream Mania
Some say it's all the students, while others say its all the
techies. Whatever the reason, Boston (not only Cambridge) is
still holding on to ice cream mania, with plenty of new ice
cream cafes and ice cream bars cropping up all over the place.
Everyone has their favorite place, with little consenus on who
wins top honors. Here are a few of many:
