If you specialize in making chicken wings, you'd better be serving them with some tasty blue cheese. Wing it has the worst blue cheese ever. It has no chunks and tastes like mayonnaise. Tragic. Otherwise, their food is pretty good. They have some combo meals and some larger packages for parties or just insanely hungry people. Their sides are good - i like their side Caesar salad. For some reason, maybe the blue cheese, I always feel a bit of a bellyache when I'm done though...

This place has saved me many a time when I wouldn't be able to huff it to a bigger store further out in town. They list practically no prices in their beer cooler, which is annoying, but their prices are usually pretty decent anyhow. It's also a little grocery store, so if you need milk and butter along with your High Life, you're all set. They have a small deli and grill where they make sandwiches, and while their chicken parmesian grinder tastes more like grilled chicken with sauce and cheese, it's kind of tasty. They might bend the rules for you on Sunday if you're a few minutes late too!

This Store 24, at the corner of Brighton ave and Harvard ave is cleaner and safer from door pan-handling that its commonwealth neighbor. They have all of the frozen pizzas, cheap soda, instant lotto and jerky that all Store 24's have, with much less homelessness surrounding it. It's not open 24 hours, as the Commonwealth one is, but if your emergency falls within its hours of operation, you'd be a much happier shopper to go here.

Why do people wear sports gear, or band shirts? Pride? Maybe to break the ice? I'm not sure, but this place is like a giant icebreaker. If you're meeting up with someone you don't know very well, or haven't seen in a while, the clubhouse has a bunch of TVs with a bunch of sporting events going on. You can pretend you're interested in the game to get out of conversation, or maybe even use it as a way to start one. There's not much to this place, and the sports hero mural at the entrance, I think, symbolizes that. The barkeeps and wait staff are nice, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed.

TT's is much in the vein of the clubs that surround it. Just passed the Middle East venues, TT's also seem to lock in experimental and independent acts, global and local. Kind of like and eat in kitchen, TT's is like a bar-in-concert. The main stage area is only separated from the bar by a few pillars and a belly-high wall, perfect for putting drinks on. And while the place packs a lot of people in, it's more due to the talent than the situation. Many shows don't sound terribly good here. Beers are average to 50 cents too much and there are pool tables in the back room.

Once you get in this place, and find a seat, don't let the appearance fool you. Nothing aesthetic has been done to the place probably since it opened, but what you're going to do there is eat, so as long as the utensils are clean, who cares. It's not that the place looks that drab or old, but it's very simple. All of their dishes are priced great, the biggest deals being the soup and noodle dishes. But if you're adventurous, try something like their traditional family style salmon, served over rice with a sweet caramel glaze. And wash it all down with a jasmine limeade.

The coop has a huge selection of books, with a cool array of fiction and literature on one of the upper levels. The main level can be looked down upon from the circular balcony of the fiction and literature section. Along the circular path, there are endcaps and tables set up featuring authors or genres. I stumbled upon a Gabriel Garcia Marquez table and had to pick up a few. Upon checkout, even though I wasn't a member, I got a discounted price. I'd like to do away with memberships altogether and let good taste determine the cost!

Upon moving, one becomes rather close to realtors. The problem that I've come to realize, is that most realtors are snakes. When you walk into Nexgen Realty, it's confusing - it looks like a computer lab. And people don't jump up and offer you help. After dealing with a number of people, I found Don. Don was exceptional to this snake theory. He's very helpful, he looks for what you want/need, not apartments with the biggest fees. Being a realtor is a profession, but you don't have to be a jerk. Don's not...most of NexGen is.

This place would be any other bar if not for its food specials. Wednesday you can get some great mexican food amazingly cheap (1/2 off i think?) Wash it down with a big margarita or a 22oz mug of beer, and you'll be full for just the price of a normal bar tab. Thursdays showcase 1/2 price chicken sandwiches and Saturdays they do the deal on burgers. When you see $2.50 on your bill at the end of the night, and realize it was your food, you couldn't be more delighted. I think the food specials end at 10 pm.

The Breakfast club is a cute little shanty off of busy Western Avenue. To live up to it's name, it has a signed poster of the film. It also closes at 2pm, and a lunch/brunch only operation. Pretty much everything is good. the few things I'd stay away from are the corned beef has and their iced coffee. It's just regular coffee with ice...a watered down version of the real thing. When the waitress is ready to take your order, you'll know you're in a Boston diner.
