Exhausted, hungry, and more than a little crabby, my mom, dad, younger brother, and I disembark from the 23 bus at the Stazione Pensilina and walk into Florence. But it’s late. In the daytime, there are rather more than a few vendors, selling all sorts of items, in particular goods made from Tuscan leather. I…

I’m alive…just busy
Hey everyone, I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a while. This month has been very busy. I have visited a couple more places on Centre Street, just haven’t had time to post yet. I’m headed to Italy for two weeks, so I won’t be able to post for a bit longer, but rest assured I’ll…

Latino Restaurant
Here’s to hoping that the quality of the food is greater than the creativity of the restaurant name…
Tostado Sandwich Bar
It has been far too long since my last post. My apologies. But I’m back. My mom came to visit me in Boston. I really enjoy having family and friends come to visit me. I like showing people my city. And since I have begun this blog, something that I am trying to do when…
Young Kong Chinese Restaurant
You remember my first post at Yely’s Coffee Shop? Remember how sketchy I said it was? Well let me tell you, Yely’s doesn’t have anything compared to the next restaurant on Centre Street. Let me introduce you to Young Kong Chinese Restaurant. That’s right, Young Kong. But I’ll leave the name alone. It’s just too…
Yely’s Coffe Shop: Part II
A few weeks ago, I made my first visit to Yely’s Coffee Shop, but instead of asking the guy working there what I should order, I chickened out, and ordered something that looked good to me. It was a good choice, but it didn’t adhere to my rules for ordering—I have to get the worker…
Yely’s Coffe Shop: Part I
There are parts of Jamaica Plain that are nice, trendy,…safe. I do not live in those parts. Okay, where I live is not particularly dangerous (I think), but I’m relatively confident that I walk past small drug deals on a regular basis. I also have reason to believe that some of the restaurants near me…
And so we begin: Il Panino Cafe and Grill
Our journey down Centre Street thus begins where it should—at the beginning. Centre Street begins near the Jackson Square T station on the Orange Line. At the intersection of Lamartine Street and Centre Street, there stands the first destination on my journey: Il Panino Cafe and Grill. Apparently there is a family of il Panino restaurants that…
To Eat Is to Experience
I have done a fair bit of traveling in my lifetime,—more than many but less than I’d like—and my favorite thing about traveling is eating. Of course, I love to see the sights, but for me, to really experience a locale is to eat its food. You just never know what you will find. I…
