Market Basket can be intimidating at first sight. The expansive parking lot is almost always full, and the store is bustling with tons of customers. The prices at Market Basket are generally so amazing, especially the produce. The selection of products is nearly endless, and they feature many ethnic foods as well. Market Basket carries more household items than does a typical grocery store, although they do not have alcohol. My only complaint is that shopping carts are often in a traffic jam at Market Basket, but if that doesn't bother you, then you definitely should go.

Foodmaster is a wonderful little supermarket. It's often busy, but never so crowded that you have to wait in long lines at checkout. The staff is generally friendly and helpful. The selection, considering the size of the market, is wonderful, and the prices of many foods (especially chicken!!) are so cheap. They sell alcohol as well, which is a nice feature in such a small market. I would put Foodmaster in the "perfect" category except for the prices of their produce, which is expensive. The shopping carts are a nice smaller size, and the floors are carpeted, giving Foodmaster more of a homey feel.
It's nice to go to a supermarket that is more humble than overly commercial, and has prices that don't make you cringe!

Part tavern, part family restaurant, Bukowski's is an enjoyable place to have a meal. Patrons range from small children (one who was running around the restaurant repeatedly screaming) and young couples out for a night. The beer menu is pretty extensive, yet on the expensive side (most beers were about $5.50). The food menu has a sufficient amount of options, including some fun choices like a curried cranberry chicken salad sandwich and a peanut butter burger. The food delivers, with fresh and tasty ingredients. Servers were friendly and the service was great.

On a weekday night, we were some of the only ones in the restaurant. It's a small and very dark restaurant, so dark that it's difficult to read the menu. The drink and food menus are both pretty limited, and the prices were too expensive considering the type of fare. Our server was not very warm and welcoming, and with all this, we just left. We won't be coming back!

The office is beautiful, the decor is stunning, but that's where the magic ends. I came to Hart Dental Associates expecting a pleasant time, and I was disappointed (and this comes from someone who actually enjoys the dentist). They told me I needed expensive procedures that I actually do *not* need, and they made me wait around a long time before anyone could actually come look at my mouth. I could go on, but I'll just rant and rant some more...

If you drive past Carberry's, you can't miss it - the bright orange exterior catches everyone's eye. Inside, Carberry's has a nice open feel, yet is still cozy enough to chat with a friend. The menu features all the typical coffee and espresso bar drinks, as well as pastries, sandwiches, salads, and the like. The prices are no better or worse than a similar establishment, and the food and coffee are pretty good. There is parking outside (always a plus), and the lines are never so bad that you have to wait forever.

While the adjective "fabulous" is not the one I'd use, something about Boutique Fabulous draws you in. Much of the home decor , jewelry, and apparel are works of art, and the prices are not as extravagant as those in many other boutiques. For just one store, they have a comprehensive website, and the ability to create a registry and give gift certificates. I found myself thinking that given unlimited money, I'd buy out much of Boutique Fabulous. The biggest disappointment was the variety of crude items - magnets, trinkets, and the like that contained less than "fabulous" sayings and messages; it didn't seem to fit with the classy decor. If they dumped those items, I'd be a regular. All in all, Boutique Fabulous left me smiling.

We went to Christina's because it received rave reviews from so many of our friends. The menu hosts flavors both typical and exotic (pumpkin and adzuki bean being two examples), and the portions are very reasonable. We were told that it was on the expensive side, but we thought the prices were no worse or better than the majority of ice cream stores out there. I ordered a sugar-free flavor (they had two, which is a rarity for most ice cream places - I can't digest sugar) and although it wasn't the best I had had, it did the job. My husband ordered Coffee Oreo and said it was extremely rich and flavorful - he couldn't even finish what he had ordered! We both walked out satisfied. There isn't much seating inside Christina's, but since it was a slow night, we got to sit down. Of considerable interest is Christina's spice shop next door. We'll be heading to Christina's again, I'm sure.

Compared to nearby Punjabi Dhaba, Haveli is the far better choice. The atmosphere of the restaurant feels cozy, authentic, and romantic all at the same time. The staff is kind and very attentive to customers' needs. The menu is full of wonderful Indian cuisine choices and the food is fabulous. It is flavorful, cooked well, and the portions are reasonable. You can order dinners a la carte or a full dinner, and be sure to order some of the tasty naan (the fluffiest I've ever had)! We were pleased with Haveli from beginning to end. They also cater for special occasions.

I have to rave about Eliot Management because I've lived in too many places where the management was so poor. Eliot Management is responsive to tenant concerns, even replacing our kitchen floor when we reported a large gouge in it - no questions asked. They regularly post signs about things happening in the area, keep a clean and well-maintained building (including the cleanest laundry room I've ever seen), and are pleasant people. Eliot Management is great in our eyes!
