Nice wooden bar back and a menu that makes you feel like you've just
walked into the late fifties or early sixties.  Pork tenderloin deluxe
sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and mayo for $1.15.  Or for vegetarians,
a chef's salad for $1.30.  Or for big eaters: Walleye Pike dinner with
fries, salad, rolls for $2.95.  The pork tenderloin was ok. Enjoy.

/A landmark restaurant and one of the most famous in Boston.  This old and
ugly warehouse setting is noted for its New England style cooking (boiled
beef, roast ribs of beef) but it also has
such things as roast duck (not highly recommended).  The waitresses are "famous"
for their surliness, particularly if you forget to tip.  All meals are served
with cornbread and are in enormous portions.  The roast beef is perhaps their
most famous dish (though the management disclaims all responsibility for items
ordered well-done).  Seating is shared at long, crowded but friendly tbles.
Figure on $5 pp.  Go through the bar -- its separate waiting line is much shorter.

This is a terrific restaurant.  Prime rib, newburg dishes and the indian
pudding are all excellent [WLS-79].

/If you visit the Bunker Hill monument in Charlestown, consider going here.
A local seafood and "Yankee" dining place that also features fresh,
unpretentious entrees such as spinach and mushroom salads.  The kitchen
is very tiny so the fish is cooked when you order, not before.
Also good as lunch place from MIT since it's about a mile away from the Hotel
Sonesta at the edge of Charlestown.  Desserts are maganificent, even their
Indian Pudding.  The restuarant itself is in a reconstructed 200 year old
historic site.  Try the duck [EVA-77].

Food and service reasonable, nothing special.  I found myself
irked by some of the minor differences from what I'm accustomed to, e.g.,
there was no plum sauce with the Mu Shi, and the potstickers were accompanied
by a premixed dip of soy sauce and slightly hot oil, instead of letting me
season to taste.  Still, nothing really wrong, just nothing special [DON-80].

only about three or four dishes that are very simple, fragrant and delicious.

below street level that is also a very elegant place to have a drink or
dessert after walking around Boston.  Maison Robert is housed in the Old
Boston City Hall, has two dining rooms, one formerly the Boston jail.  Coat

/Features belly dancing and
other classical oriental dancing.  Excellent
Greek food, much better than most Greek restaurants in this area, especially
as far as the squid goes (this is a place to try fried squid and learn
how actually good they taste, not like rubber bands).  Their Spinach pie
is also quite a cut above other Greek restaurants.  This is over $3 when
served as dinner, can be less if you order it as an appetizer.  The fried
squid was $4.25 at last visit and has a delicate taste near to lobster.
Shish Kabab Averof was $5.25.  The bread is ordinary, the desserts

My daughter and I had Nasi Goring, which is a
highly spiced rice dish common in that region.
I personally spent years in
Malaysia and environs and have had direct experience with these foods.
The rice
was overcooked to the point of a sticky paste.  The flavors were good but
more
adapted to the European palate than an attempt at authenticity.
I'm told by
friends that the rice is not always such a mess.
The owner claimed that during
the fall they serve rice toffle which is a strictly Dutch eloboration of
this same theme.
My wife, on the other hand, had the veal which was excellent.
The meat was of
a good grade - not the very white, limped milk-fed variety so highly
praised in
urban circles - which is fine with us 'cause we prefer a slightly redder
texture.
The preparation and sauces were good and well worth the going.
The terrines were OK and the desserts were passable.
The ginger cake was too
old (butter creams had started to coagulate) and I question its flavor
were it
perfectly fresh. The chocolate sauce on my daughter's ice cream was very
fine.

formerly at Anna Kao's and the Peking Restaurant in Monroeville.
Another partner is a friend of Rick Woudenberg and myself (don't let that

she loves Chinise cooking.  Tell her you are in Computer Science at CMU and
you are sure to get started on a long discussion of who knows what [RHG-78].

visible for miles, has been remodeled into a complex of stores and
restaurants called Station Square.  The flawlessly reconstructed Victorian
decor is consumnately elegant.  The Gandy Dancer, in the basement of
Station Square, can best be described as a seafood bar.  From their 3-inch
thick slab of marble that serves as a bartop, the waitress will bring you
beer by the liter in giant glass mugs and all the sunflower seeds you can
eat.  Their food is as magnificent as their decor; they serve oysters on
the half shell, fish and chips, and our favorite, steamed mussels in a
wine-and-garlic broth.  Make sure you order some bread to help you sop up
the last drop of it; they serve wonderful wholewheat and black bread.  In
railroad slang of the 19th century, a gandy dancer is a man who lays or
repairs track.  John Henry was a gandy dancer [BKR-79].
