this BSC is one of the better locations despite not having a ball court or pool.  their towel service is spectacular, and the inside is rather spacious.  I prefer this location as it's not overly crowded, and the population is a good mix (not packed with a bunch of young people).  They have a good sized dance and yoga studios, and their staff is very courteous.

The location is advantageous too... it's close to a kenmore, fenway, and the bus stops on brookline ave.

I love stopping into this place after a long day hike in the White Mountains.  The food is exceptional and the cheese and crackers makes for a great starter.  I love the home brew beer, and the dinner menu doesn't disappoint.
The atmosphere is nice too; a rustic, down-home feel.  Very nice.
No trip to NH is complete without stopping into the common man.

It is definitely a choice place to stop in and grab a slice of the day.  The pizza is always good, and the atmosphere is... well, it's a busy pizza kitchen.  What else do you expect?

This was a pretty damned good pizza place.  The selection of pies and toppings was phenomenal.... but seating took AGES, and talk about small... I was literally bumping elbows just sitting at the table.  It's ironic too, because pizza just seems to take up a lot of space.

The tight quarters and bustling atmosphere definitely add to the charm of this quaint pizza place.
The price was not bad.

Tapas is great.
The atmosphere is spectacular;
sitting outside on a summer evening, drinking sangria makes for great times.  It is definitely one of the best tapas places in the area.

Then you get the bill and jeez... you somehow feel slapped in the face.
Croquetas are a fav.

The owner of this establishment is definitely worth the.... price?
I'm not sure what to make of our experience, but it was truly unique.

Between the spooky haunted tour of the brownstone converted hotel... or the late night dinner session with our spectacularly eccentric host from north africa...  this was a memorable experience, and to this day... I have no idea what really happened there.

The food was expensive, but it was a private 4-course meal for a party of 4.  We were literally the only people in this place, and the owner served us personally and chatted with us the whole time.  Very interesting indeed.... he then proceeded to show us around, and thus began the mystical magical tour into the great unknown.  yes, it was a bit freaky.

oh, man..
This place is great.
Good food, great price.

I have been in many times for both the quick wraps and for all-out moroccan tajines.  Everything has always been wonderful... i would highly recommend the lamb shawarma OR if they have a roast chicken dinner with couscous... very good stuff.

I don't know why people rave and rave about this place.
I mean every time I drive or walk by, there's a line waiting to get in... and really, the food isn't that great.
I have been twice, and both times, my sandwich has been the saddest looking thing I've ever seen.

The first time, I got a turkey club... the poor thing had limpy bread.
The second time, I got a corned beef sandwich, and wouldn't you know? it couldn't keep it together.
Their reputation definitely precedes them.
No thank you, zaftigs.

This place is always packed full of questionable young people.  Unless you're into glit and glam or ultra-chiq wannabes and over priced drinks, you wouldn't normally go here.

I like this place because they have a great selection of specialty beers and wines.  I also like that they regularly have tastings and displays by the brewers themselves.  Very nice.
The inside is elegant, although slightly cramped due to space.  Still a choice place to go.
