Deuxave opening in Boston’s Back Bay’s menu, hours
Photo courtesy of CBH CommunicationsI have been observing Deuxave's construction on Mass Ave and Commonwealth for months now. I'm frequently found traipsing around Back Bay these days, so an ambitious new neighborhood restaurant is much welcomed. The food is seasonally inspired new American, with emphasis on sourcing local ingredients, and priced at around $26 an entree. The whole shebang is [...]
Drinks at M Bar at the Mandarin Oriental
M Bar at the Mandarin Oriental reminds me of Shanghai's slickly overproduced watering holes. The difference is that in China, these kinds of establishments stock only the most svelte and snowy-skinned of waitstaff, the kind with faces that inspire as much protection as possession. (The physicality of Chinese beauty hits you in a very different way from Western beauty. Even at its most [...]
Piattini Gelateria and Match mini burgers
It's Reading Period! I granted myself a free day wander down Boston's beautiful Newbury Street, visit some fabulous friends, and eat some junk food... because I deserve it. I have a good relationship with gelato. We've gotten along thus far - I had some truly makes-your-mouth-sing gelato on my brief stopovers in Rome and Paris.

I apologize for not waxing poetic about texture of the escargots or precisely what kind of tomatoes they used, but I'm sure you'll forgive me. Most of what I [...]
$1 Sliders Night at Match Martinis and Burgers
Delicious sliders for only $1? Yes! On Tuesdays at Match (this Tuesday was a long time ago), this super-trendy restaurant next to the Hynes/ICA T stop serves their cheeseburger sliders for a mere buck. The fancier versions with lamb and whatnot are regular price. Then come back on Thursdays for $5 entrees. But only for women. To make up for passing bowling balls through our nether regions. [...]
$40.09 Dinner deal at L’Espalier
So word from McClelland at Boston's swanky L'Espalier (where I recently did a lovely lunch) is that they have had a change of heart and are now participating in Restaurant Week... sort of. A distinct possibility is that they realized with all the business heading towards other high end restaurants doing Restaurant Week, they faced the possibility of rotting truffles and surplus humanely farmed [...]
