we saw this place reveiwed on the phantom gourmet and went the very same day for lunch. easy to find, clean and comfy.
the food was slow to come but it was well worth the wait...clearly cooked fresh and to order.
we started with the sliders. if the burger on the sandwich menu is a bigger version of this, we have undoubtedly found our new burger place in town!
they were simple and fresh...topped with american cheese, lettuce, tomato, and served on a brioche bun.
delicious.
i had the lobster mac & cheese. out standing. big chunks of lobster and lots of creamy, bubbling cheese sauce.
my girlfriend had the spicy crispy chicken wrap which was a little hard to manuver but was stuffed with juicy chicken, pecans, and bacon. it was served with a big pile of really crispy fries.
the service was friendly but not over the top.
they serve brunch until 3 on saturday and sunday and even have a nutella/banana slider on a croissant for a starter!
i can't wait to go back for breakfast...a total hidden jewel as far as i'm concerned. and reasonably priced. for two sodas, an app and two entrees we paid $38.

supercuts on boylston was pretty 'no frills' as supercuts goes. the product lines were decent variety-wise but dusty. the service was friendly, prompt, and inexpensive.
the stylist did his thing and did it well. he didn't seem to interested in promoting himself but maybe he had just had a long day. there was no business card or introduction but he did an amazing job on my hair.
in the last 6 months i have been to several expensive salons throughout the city and have not been as pleased as i was tonight.
they closed at 8 but they took me at 730 gladly.
i will definitely be back!
i also noticed from the sign that they do color for extremely reasonable prices. maybe next time i'll be more adventerous.

We found this place not long after we got here but just had the opportunity to try it last Sunday. We were made to feel so welcome. It was clearly a family operation as there was a little boy running around and helping to fill the napkin dispensers.
The atmosphere left much to be desired as it was sparsely decorated but the Sunday paper sat available for customers. We ordered Beef Chow Mein and a PuPu for 2. The Chow Mein portion looked a bit small but actually ended up to be plenty. The PuPu varied to my particular taste, but nothing was bad. The best was the beef terriyaki, chicken wings & fingers. (Oh yeah: the eggroll was AMAZING, strange, i know...)
I highly recommend checking it out. They were great!

Two weeks ago, walking home from CVS, I noticed a sign advertising a blood drive being held in the Old Town Hall the same night. Let me preface by saying that the first time I gave blood I was 17 and had to obtain a permission slip from my mother to participate in the Red Cross blood drive being held at my school. I have always felt a sense of responsibility and have tried in the past to donate when I can. I stopped in and was given a form to fill out and told to wait 'over there'. The place was hectic and lacking direction but it was going to get worse. Once I was finally called upon by the exhausted and stressed out woman who was to do my intake interview, I was horrified to be sitting across from someone who was speaking so fast I could hardly understand her. I had been through it before and knew I was not to be considered a high risk donor so I tried to answer accordingly. Once she was through she sent me on my way to wait for a table. From the time that I was called upon to the time the needle was taken out of my arm I was hardly spoken to and had to lay there listening to how overworked and understaffed they were. I noticed that the guy next to me got a nice shoulder rub when he was sent to the waiting area. I was just sent. Infact when I stood up one of the girls looked at me and said "are you okay?".
I waited the recommended 15 minutes, had some cookies, juice and even a piece of pizza. Again, this whole time I was not spoken to at all. I got up to go and made it half way down the stairs. I thought I was going to pass out. I've never had such a reaction to donating blood and it was terrifying. I finally made it to the bottom, as I figured in that state it was easier than climbing back up, and sat. I was passed a few times by I don't know who. I was walking home anyway but a walk that normally takes me 5 minutes from there took 20 as I had to keep sitting down. I am surprised I made it!
How disappointing. I emailed the Red Cross and got a response from the Director, if you will, and when I responded in detail as she asked, got nothing in return. Not even acknowledgement.
