Conor Larkin's Grill & Tap
329 Huntington Ave
Boston,
MA
02115
Jessica D. writes: I LOVE this bar. The best Burgers, Fries, Steak Tip Sub and Buffalo Wings ever! Totally a casual and cheap bar, you get what you expect. But everyone who goes to Connor's goes there to have a good time. Get there early though if you actually want…
Daniels Gilbert H MD
Parkman St
Boston,
MA
02114
Lisa S. writes: I love this doctor. He is probably one of the best! He was really nice and personable. Even the receptionists were nice. When I called for my results, he took my call, even though he was with a patient. He really makes you feel at ease.
Oona's
Neighborhood: Harvard Square
1210 Massachusetts Ave
Cambridge,
MA
02138
Annie P. writes: There are plenty of junky items to pick up, squint and blow dust off and put right back down but if you love grandmother dresses, you are in luck!
Plus you always end up chit chatting with the laid back helpful staff and some other funky customers who…
La Creperie
Neighborhood: Harvard Square
1154 Massachusetts Ave
Cambridge,
MA
02138
Michelle K. writes: Mmmm Mmm Good. This place has delicious crepes but falls short in key areas.
1) Space. Even though the chef said we would be able to find a seat by the time we ordered and picked up our food, we had to be very aggressive. We ended up kicking out a…
O'briens Pub
Neighborhood: Allston/Brighton
3 Harvard Ave
Allston,
MA
02134
Murray B. writes: I've only been there once and I wasn't impressed. The 'bartender' kept leaving for 20-30 minutes at a time. My empty glass and I got very lonely.
It's a dive bar with a small stage, nothing more. Maximum capacity is 75 'friends'.
Dillon's
Neighborhood: Back Bay
955 Boylston St
Boston,
MA
02115
Daniel S. writes: Dillon's kinda surprised me. It's turning out to be one of my favorite straight bars in Boston. Most of the time when I let my girlfriends choose the bar we're headed to their choices make me slap my head, but Dillon's I'm o.k. with.
There is…
Martsa on Elm
Neighborhood: Davis Square
233 Elm St
Ste A
Somerville,
MA
02144
john w. writes: Who in Davis Square offers the most delicious selection of vegetarian options? My vote is for Martsa on Elm; the owners Choesang and Dechen Martsa, originally from Tibet, cook up brilliant cuisine from their homeland.
Start off with an order of…
Charley's Eating & Drinking Saloon
Neighborhood: Back Bay
284 Newbury St
Boston,
MA
02115
Arnab M. writes: I love brunch places and am a fairly seasoned brunch-place-goer, therefore, Charley's was a little disappointing considering it was to touted and highly recommended, and is borderline fancy. The omelets were great, the muffins were fresh, soft and…
California Pizza Kitchen
Neighborhood: Back Bay
800 Boylston St Ste 155
Boston,
MA
02199
Jeffrey H. writes: Meh...
The food: Decent but not memorable
The service: adequate but not commendable
The place: clean but not fashionable (college dining hall-ish)
The price: fair and reasonable
The wait: short and manageable
Coming back? Maybe but not probable
Paris Creperie
Neighborhood: Beacon Hill
326 Cambridge St
Boston,
MA
02114
Ali E. writes: Unfortunately there are few places in Beacon Hill to go and sit and read with a latte that doesn't cost 6 dollars. I love this place just because it's not Starbucks, and you can chill on the couches in the sun for hours.
Of all the crepes I've tried,…
Skipjack's
Neighborhood: Back Bay
199 Clarendon St
Boston,
MA
02116
David d. writes: I don't eat fish, so it's going to be hard to BITCH about this place.
May I start with my dirty water glass? Yes. At first I thought it was a twist of lemon collecting at the bottom. I couldn't taste it, though. A closer look : crumbs and poppy seeds.…

G2O Spa and Salon
Neighborhood: Back Bay
338 Newbury St
Boston,
MA
02115
Ligaya T. writes: My first foray into the G2O world was not for the much lauded salon nor the sublime massages. Sadly no, friends. It was a practical matter, but one of utmost importance that involved the bikini line. Oh yes, that important.
At first I tried to talk…

Katie S. writes: Dear ladies of Cambridge/Somerville/Bost on/etc.,

Starbucks Coffee

Newton,
MA
02459
Jill L. writes: This was the Starbucks that started everything. I never drank coffee, and I never wanted to be a part of the Starbucks fad, but I've found myself there almost 3 times a week for the past 2 months!
And I must say, it's because of those fabulous…
Rockin' Bob's Guitars
Neighborhood: Davis Square
31 Holland St.
Somerville,
MA

Bertucci's
Neighborhood: Harvard Square
21 Brattle St
Cambridge,
MA
02138
Ramoners D. writes: Simply love the bread here! Its piping hot and so soft. We all went on a bread binge here. The pasta dishes are very similar to your regular Italian restaurant - so nothing really stood out except the bread - wait I did mention that!
Ninety-Nine Restaurant
59 Newport Ave
Quincy,
MA
02171
J .. writes: Gonna be honest- most times when I end up at the 99, it's because i'm in the area and smell the steaks cooking from outside the restaurant. Consequently, dropping off a video at the next-door Hollywood Video is dangerous. That aside, the 99 is hit or…
Cindy's Planet
Neighborhood: Chinatown
70 Tyler St
Boston,
MA
02111
Lala L. writes: Good place to go to for boba tea. Very nice brew, and the boba is always perfect, not to mushy, not to hard. They also serve great finger food, such as satay fishballs on a stick, great spring rolls, and other daily specialties. So it's a good place…
Zesiger Sports and Fitness Center at MIT

Building W35
Boston,
MA
02116
Nick S. writes: Best Pool in Boston area. I swim here regularly, and 10 times out of 10 it is clean and not too crowded. Usually split a lane at worst. If you are serious swimmer, you should definitely check it out. I would give it 5 stars, but it is a little…
Il Faro
21 Main St
Medford,
MA
02155
Jud P. writes: Great little neighborhood Italian restaurant. The inside is a little quirky but in a good way and romantic too. The food is delicious with reasonable sized portions, although maybe a tad overpriced. You won't leave with a busted belly, and you…
St Brigid's Rectory School
Neighborhood: South Boston
866 E Broadway
Boston,
MA
02127
Erin G. writes: One of the best Catholic Schools in the Boston area. I teach at this school, and, although it has gome from preK - 8 to preK-5 this year, the teachers are excellent. Offers art, music, gym (on-site), and special education which is not typical for a…
Vintage Etc

Cambridge,
MA
02140
Jake M. writes: Truth be told, I don't have much occasion to be out shopping for clogs these days. Actually, I don't think I've EVER been much in the market for clogs. But that's neither here nor there, and really, my review really has nothing to do with footwear…
La Mamma Pizza and More
Neighborhood: Allston/Brighton
190 Brighton Ave
Allston,
MA
02134
Sarah F. writes: I love this place for delivery. The food is mostly average, but there's so much to choose from that they can satisfy nearly any craving. My husband loves their fried chicken. Just stay away from the wings - they were just plain wings with hot sauce…
Orleans Restaurant and Bar
Neighborhood: Davis Square
65 Holland Street
Somerville,
MA
02144
Damien S. writes: Orleans gets a lot of flack. Folks who go once may see it as pretentious, out-of-place or confused in its identity. And it is, sorta.
A few female friends frequent the joint because they dig the grub. Having only indulged in the Pizza Neopolitan ($10)…

Cambridge,
MA

Jordan R. writes: Here's the rundown:
It was a corporate affair. I showed up slightly late, though looking fantastic, so I think it was ok.
We sat outside, and yes it was cold. They did have space heaters around their little patio, which helped for some, but I was…
Rosie's Bakery & Dessert Shop
Neighborhood: Inman Square
243 Hampshire St
Cambridge,
MA
02139
Brian D. writes: Bakery is as bakery does, should make pastries and breads and other things born of sugar and butter that make you happy. Rosie's did me good and fed my already fat ass a mean cream cheese brownie and cup of mud. It's not like I would say this was a…

Boston,
MA

Boston,
MA

Craig C. writes: 5 Stars for SNOOTIEST bar in Boston.
Way overpriced and guys the girls go to dance and have you buy them drinks. Don't bother.

Alexander Pizza & Grill
Neighborhood: Allston/Brighton
2 Brighton Ave
Allston,
MA
02134
Sean L. writes: As far as little take out places like this go, it's 4 stars. I have enjoyed the Chicken Cutlet Parm on more than one occasion for only $5.50. The delivery seems to come a bit faster than other places as well which gets it points... not to mention…
Rock Bottom Restaurant
115 Stuart St
Boston,
MA
02116
David d. writes: I'd rather HIT Rock Bottom, than eat here again.
I went to a farewell lunch (for myself :( ) with some work buddies, and when we walked in, the place stunk. It was like a Yeast infection for the sinus. I know they brew beer in there, but they need to…
