Hi. Remember me? I know it’s been a while. Just over 4 years in fact. It’s always awkward breaking the ice again after it’s been so long. Like those times when you keep meaning to text back your friend from high school, and you swear you’re gonna do it tomorrow, but you’ve said that for…

Chimi Some Love: Alex’s Chimis
My next stop on Centre Street is Alex’s Chimis. It looks like a pretty decent establishment, what with having TVs as the menu boards and all. Plus, they seem to attract a pretty steady stream of customers. Every time I walk past, there is a relatively sizable group of people waiting to order. Now, this…
Rizzo’s Pizza and Subs: Looking for Mushrooms in All the Weird Places.
Hey everyone. Sorry about not posting last week. Had to do my taxes. Fun. My brother and I went to Rizzo’s last weekend, on the first day of spring. But of course, we live in Boston, and Boston apparently doesn’t care much about seasonal divisions. Case in point, it was snowing on the first day…
Gondres Bakery: A Shift in Perspective and Taste
I think I might get a bit philosophical in this week’s post, so be forewarned. I’m working on a theory of mine, and I’m going to test it out. Here it is: I think flavor can be a matter of perspective. I think generally we are inclined to believe that whether or not we like…

There are Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants all over the place. I know one area near Chinatown where there are two Dunkins located literally one block from each other. One block! I…
Cappy’s Pizza and Subs
Here’s what I cannot understand about Cappy’s: their pizza is not much better than greasy cardboard with cheese on top, but they seem to have a very loyal clientele. Why this loyalty? I cannot figure it out.
Latino Restaurant
Here’s to hoping that the quality of the food is greater than the creativity of the restaurant name…
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…
