Boston area restaurant recommendations?
Comments (15)Aujourd'hui and L'espalier (french) are both excellent places for a celebration. Yes they're upper crust but you go there when you're celebrating getting a PhD (esp. from a Boston-area Cambridge, perhaps? University ;-) ). A less expensive cousin to L'espalier is Sel de la Terre and is run by the same establishment. Personally, I prefer their waterfront version to the new one on Boylston street. Food is really good. Craigie on Main is another excellent choice, as is Clio. FYI, Ken Oringer (of Clio) was one of the chefs that appeared on Iron Chef America and really impressed the judges from the "the genius in that brain of yours" and "you've trained your staff to implement your billiance" noises the judges made ;-). He won that challenge by a mile - and the reason he did shows in the food he serves at his restaurant. Fantastic. But so is Craigie Street B. Hammersley's bistro is also very good but it has been a good many years since I've eaten there. All of these but for Sel de la Terre do run up a pretty penny though, it has to be said....See MoreBoston Kitchen Showrooms - Need Recommendations!
Comments (8)For seafood, I would suggest Jasper White's Summer Shack. It is on Dalton Street ... walking distance to the Marriott and family friendly. i think Legal Seafood's is okay, but sort of a chain restaurant. The best restaurants are in the South End so very close by to the Marriott. They are generally more adult oriented places though. There is a really good oyster restaurant called B and G Oyster. If you head over to the intersection of Tremont and Clarendon Street there will be many many fabulous restaurants all around you: Aquitaine (my personal favorite - a french bistro), Hamersley's Bistro, Sibling Rivalry, down a little farther is Tremont 647. Brunch on Sundays in the South End is a great idea too. Most of the restaurants are serving brunch and lots of people come out for brunch so it is fun and great people watching. My favorite restaurant in Boston these days is Toro. It is Spanish Tapas. It is owned by Ken Oringer, a celebrity chef in these parts (also owner of Clio). It is far and away the best tapas in Boston. It is on Washington St. by Mass. Ave. in the South End. They don't take reservations but if you get there early, you should be okay (early as in 5:30 / 6:00 ... depending on the age of your child, may not be appropriate... also, requires an adventurous eater). boy, I cannot wait to go to the Clarke Showroom after all of the endorsements. I wanted to get myself out there while in the kitchen design process but it was a little too far for me to manage. Milford is about 45 minutes outside of Boston... take the mass. Pike to Route 495 South for a few exits. Also, I second Margieb2's suggestion of Tile Showcase. There is also one in Watertown on Arsenal Street which is closer to Boston. Beautiful tile and really nice displays. and Splash in Newton is mostly a bath resource, however, they do have kitchen sinks on display as well as some kitchen faucets which are plumbed and so you can actually try them out. oh, there is a really good Indian Restaurant on Newbury STreet called Kashmir. It is at the intersection of Newbury and Gloucester Streets (I think). Also, if you don't have an Anthropologie in your area you should definitely check it out. Great kitchie homeware stuff (and clothes). It is on Boylston (I think at the interesection of Fairfield), very close to your hotel. Have so much fun!!...See MoreBoston area marble recommendation
Comments (2)I can't help with the marble, but I do want to comment on how nice it is to see you move from project to project in your home. I'm from Plymouth, MA and can appreciate watching you restore your old Boston home! I am sure that fireplace will be beautiful when you are finished!...See MorePlant Nursery Recommendations in Boston/Metro West Area
Comments (9)Caityross, I've attended the MA Annual Cacti and Succulent show a couple months back. Here's their web page with details on vendors within your region. https://sites.google.com/site/cssmblog/annual-show I'm sure you can reach out to them and you will find some very nice plants. Incidentally, you can always try the nearest BBS/ Walmart/Home Depot/Lowe's, they will always have some succulents in stock.. Bernard...See Moretinam61
