Rothschild’s — Brooklyn, NY
by Quan Lam on June 27, 2011 in Featured, Photos, Restaurants
The perfect breezy evening, one that conjures to mind why so many love the spring before the dead heat of summer, led me through the grand entrance of Rothschild’s in the Boerum Hill section of Brooklyn for a New York twist on classic Cajun cuisine. The windows were wide open to let in the cool of the fading day and allowed a proper view of Atlantic Avenue with its stylish boutiques and cafes. Decorated with a rustic tin roof, dark, polished wood, and black & white photos of luminaries from the musical and political past, you are transported into another intimate world. Rothschild’s places you, with a graceful ease, beyond the streets of Brooklyn and into what seems like an exclusive lounge/bar in the heart of New Orleans.

Totto Ramen- NYC
by Quan Lam on May 26, 2011 in Featured, Photos, Restaurants
It was worth the many attempted trips to get myself a hot, steaming bowl of ramen. After being featured in a reputable New York newspaper, noodle worshipping worker bees and tourists alike swarmed the Hell’s Kitchen locale of Totto Ramen to see what the fuss was all about. The many who found this hidden gem weeks later would have to wait up to an hour or more while some, including myself, would give up, relinquish a spot on line, and visit on a future date.

Momogoose and the Truth Behind Yelp Reviews
by Miriam on May 24, 2011 in Boston, Featured, Restaurants
Springtime in Cambridge is a wonderful thing. The leaves are almost shiny and green, the water seems to turn a velvety dark blue…and the Harvard kids become less obnoxious and actually move out of the way. And walking along listening to music seems to make the whole world shimmer. Not merely from heat waves, either. Plus, there are now several food trucks in Kendall Square worthy of a sample – and what better time to dine outside than in the spring?

Craigie on Main with The Charlatans
by Miriam on May 12, 2011 in Boston, Featured, Restaurants
Sometimes, just spotting a single promo poster for a concert can make you get all gooey and nostalgic. And remind you of “home.” Or conjure up memories that best relate to how you perceived home as a kid. Because England and America are so very, very different, music tends to act as a bridge between the two – it’s hardly like I can wander around here and pick up some of the food that I used to enjoy in England (a good pasty, chips, fish…). So when I saw that Jamie Oliver Tweeted about The Big Feastival which will take place this summer on Clapham Common in London, and that The Charlatans were headlining, I went all 1995 again. Just for a second.

Penang: Malaysian Cuisine
by Ben on May 06, 2011 in Boston, Featured, Restaurants
Located at 685 Washington Street in Chinatown, Penang is an affordably delicious dining experience with an array of Malaysian appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Although Malaysian cuisine is oftentimes outshined in America by the more popular menus of China and Japan, it is certainly an eating opportunity that should not be overlooked for Boston residents. Penang’s dishes are perhaps best described as a best-of-both-worlds fusion of Chinese and Indian cultures, and, as you can imagine, the results are astounding.

Burger Tours: Love Letter to Mr. Bartley’s Burgers
by Catie on May 04, 2011 in Boston, Featured, Photos, Restaurants
This can hardly be a real burger review since the Burger Tours group has eaten at Mr. Bartley’s in Harvard several times over the years, and it has made a little place in our hearts not because it’s the best burger, but because it’s consistently just what we want. Mr. Bartley’s is moving on to its third generation of ownership, and hopefully it will continue on. If you haven’t been here yet, you either don’t live here or you’re seriously missing out on a Cambridge classic.

EWM Staff Post: The Gallows and A CONTEST!
by Matt on April 30, 2011 in Boston, Featured, Photos, Restaurants
This post is by Eat With Me founder Matt. Located at 1395 Washington Street, The Gallows restaurant is planted in the middle of one of my favorite foodie blocks in Boston’s South End – that’s quite a distinction in a very delicious part of town. Just doors down from Morse Fish Company, my go-to spot [...]

Burger Tours: The Savant Project
by Catie on April 27, 2011 in Boston, Featured, Photos, Restaurants
Heading out to Brigham Circle in February for burgers was quite a trip for eight mostly Cambridge-dwelling burger lovers, but Burger Tours is about the burger and we will go great lengths to try a promising burger. The Savant Project intrigued us because of it’s locavore practices (like using Iggy’s Bread, a Cambridge bakery), and mixed reviews on Yelp. Plus we had a Groupon, so away we ordered.

The Independent Restaurant and Bar (Somerville, MA)
by Lena on April 22, 2011 in Boston, Featured, Photos, Restaurants
The social aspect of living in and around Boston is often defined by where the T (subway) stops; main hubs like Porter Square, Harvard Square, and Davis Square get the lion’s share of the traffic and attention. But the smaller squares in between, like Union Square in Somerville, also have their own set of charms.

Saigon Sandwich: Banh Mi
by Talia on April 08, 2011 in Boston, Featured, Photos, Restaurants
It’s all about the cilantro. Or maybe it’s the daikon. Or the crispy-crunchy-soft-all-at-once french baguette. Whatever it is, I cannot believe I’ve gone through four years steps away from this place and didn’t know about their $3 banh mis until this month. The banh mi, for those of you who have yet to discover their magic, is possibly the only good thing to come out of colonialism.
