This family-owned gem has an unassuming ambiance and an authentic feel to it. (Our veg favorites: Eggplant special, Gnocchi, their tomato+basil sauce and our friends like the Oysters). Delicious!

When we want to spend a bit of time in Boston, we go to the Thinking Cup to having a relaxing coffee and scone, while reading old newspaper printed on the tables. A good post-movie option after Loews!

Our favorite spot in Chinatown. Superb, authentic Chinese dishes (Our favorites: dumplings, chow fun, eggplant). Only drawback: very popular, so may have to wait for a table. Our alternative: My Thai

Essentials

The closest large supermarket. Kind of crazy busy during the weekends, but that's because the prices are unheard of, and the selection is gynormous! Next door is a great ethnic Indian supermarket too!
