We celebrated Rabbit’s birthday in Boston with a little carouse including cocktails at the Oak Bar, dinner at Mamma Maria in Boston’s North End, and a sojourn at the Hotel Commonwealth. Get yourself a beverage, because this is going to be a lengthy report…

Sunday was the first really cruel evening in a balmy autumn, so the Rabbitz wanted a dinner spot within stumbling distance from the Taj Hotel (where were we staying for the night). After a consultation with the concierge, we opted for a short jaunt across the Common to the Beacon Hill Bistro…

B&G Oysters is a semi-subterranean boite in Boston’s trendy South End. We visited on a Tuesday, and hoped their no-reservations-for-parties-under-four policy wouldn’t be problematic.

Rabbitz are spending a few days in Vegas with the Rabbit in-laws. Our first noteworthy meal was at the Legal Test Kitchen at Boston Logan Airport. Normally, I wouldn’t review airport food, largely because it’s so mediocre, but Legal is trying to turn it around here, and even though you never quite forget you’re in […]

We rounded out our week in Cambridge with a visit to Eastern Standard Kitchen. ESK isn’t actually in Cambridge, rather in Boston’s Kenmore Square… but we needed sustenance after our day at the MFA.* This was our second visit to ESK, and it was just as good as the first time.
