I hesitate to write this as this is my favorite secret to impress but... Party Favors is tucked away in the shops that line Beacon Street in Coolidge Corner. They have every party doo-dad you would ever want: balloons, favors, gift wrap, stickers, candies, gift bags, everything.
However, the bakery in this store is fantastic. The cakes are decorated perfectly and always in season. The cake recipe and icing is also great. There are cookies and cupcakes that are equally as impressive.
Next time you need a birthday cake? Look no further and head to Party Favors. (Order ahead for custom cakes.)

Check their hours before you go - the hours can vary.
There is little street parking, but there is a metered lot with lots of spaces directly behind the store with a walkway that is directly next to the store.

This isn't your normal stationery store. They've got paper, projects with papers, and other neat craft items.
There are even workshops you can attend like how to make your own wedding favors or party invitations.
For a paper lover, plan on spending some time and some money here. It's fantastic!
There's a great location on Boylston, not far from the Arlington T Stop. There is also a cute location in Coolidge Corner in Brookline.

Great for a Quick Stop at a Small Market

Sometimes I just can't bring myself to face Shaw's. If you only need a quick jug of milk or a loaf of bread, Johnny's is the place. It's small but has a decent selection, and really good prices.
And the thing is, every time I go, I think that I should go there more often. The produce is good. The meat looks good. The bakery and deli look really good. They have name brand selections in the grocery aisle.
It's conveniently located at the St. Mary's Stop of the Green Line "C" Train. They also have parking in the back, but no access to the store through the back. Metered parking is at times very easy.
Give Johnny's a try!

If you want to support a local music store, stop by Nuggets located in Kenmore Square. Inside you will find many used CDs (DVDs, Videos, Records, Magazines, and more) at reasonable prices.
The staff and clientele is fairly young -- catering to the local college crowd, but there are good deals abound.
Stop by on your way to Fenway, they even have discount specials sometimes with your day-of red sox stub.

Finally a place to enjoy a beverage while you people watch in Kenmore Square. Eastern Standard, is the new restaurant affiliated with the Hotel Commonwealth -- a little more casual than its sister restaurant Great Bay. Inside, the place is HUGE- much bigger than it looks from the outside. It has a classic feel with dark wood, red leather, and hip b&w photos rounding out the decor.
Food is good, not great but the friendly staff and the comfortable-ness more than makes up for it. They serve comfort food like mac and cheese side dishes as well as more traditional bistro fare.
This is a great place to stop in before the game. Try their bar menu where you can a burger for less than $15. If you can't wait for a fenway frank, you can also get an entree with 2 steamed hot dogs and baked beans.
Definitely give Eastern Standard a try!

Don't go to have a bite to eat unless you have some time on your hands because while you'll get your food served with a brogue in this small, Irish pub, you won't get it fast.
The serve traditional fare like fish 'n chips, stews, and other hearty fares and they have a full bar with many great beers and an awesome cider on tap.
O'Leary's is super T accessible - right across from the St. Mary's stop on the Green Line "C" train. They have live music most Friday and Saturday nights with no cover, but get there early -- it fills up with BU students and locals both.

Make an Impression at Jer-Ne at the Ritz Carlton Boston Common

Awesome food is combined with the fantastic service you expect at a Ritz Carlton makes for a great experience.
Try the Chicken Satay for an appetizer that comes with the chicken skewers served over a mini-hibachi with a smoking coal. The taste is even better than the presentation.
If you make a reservation, which is highly recommended, be sure to get the person's name that made your reservation. I confirmed my reservation twice, yet they couldn't find it when I arrived. However, the host was professional and got my party seated immediately.
Give Jer-Ne (prounced Journey) a try -- a great place that can handle diverse needs - great to take a date or a business lunch.

Stop right now and get over to the Dupont Grille at the Jurys Doyle Hotel on Dupont Circle. The atmosphere is great, the service is great, and the food is even better!
Indoor seating feels absolutely like you are outside thanks to the wall of tilting glass. True outdoor dining is also available.
The chef is Cornell Coulon - formerly of Emeril's New Orleans.
Don't miss the Turkey Croissant with a heavenly horseradish-cranberry spread. Or the spinach salad with a bacon viniagrette and goat cheese package. Yum.
They offer a full bar and dessert as well. Lunch, Dinner, and Sunday brunch is served. And they are open until 11 on the weekend.
