Places to Eat (in Boston)

1. Taiwan Café – One of the only places in Boston where I could get comfort food.
2. Giocomo’s – One of North End’s (Little Italy) finest. Excellent food, so so service, horrendous lines.
3. Tapeo – Tapas Bar with great Sangria. It may be the only place where I’ve almost gotten drunk.
4. Helmand’s – Who knew Afghani food could be so good…and waiters so fine? (Just Kidding…sort of)
5. Mike Pastries – The people here are super mean but they do have the best Italian pastries in town, especially their cannolis.
6. Ryle’s – I learned the Salsa & Merengue at this Jazz club.
7. Indian Pavilion – There are a lot of good Indian restaurants in Boston/Cambridge, but I like the atmosphere and service here more than most.
8. Pho So Mot – When we lived in Dorchester we would go to this Vietnamese place almost every week.
9. China Pearl – Yummie Dim Sum. Too bad service sucks…typical Chinatown.
10. Rod Di – Don’t let this whole in the wall turn you away. It’s some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had!
