My neighborhood -- Somerville/Cambridge Border

This certainly isn't a place to go on a budget, but the quality of food items here is second to none.

Not only do they have the best meats (they supply most of the best Boston restaurants), but they also have tremendous fresh produce and gourmet items. So pleased to have this great market in my neighborhood.

One of the best restaurants in all of Boston right in my backyard. The ambiance, the service, the sangria, the tapas are all fantastic. I must have tried 75% of the menu by now.

This used to be Tosci's Ice Cream, but they transformed it into a cute little cafe and bakery. Still under the same ownership so you know the quality of food and drink is going to be excellent.

EVOO is relatively unknown in the Somerville/Cambridge dining scene, but I've found it to be a reliably excellent restaurant. Try the duck duck goose!

The services themselves can be hit or miss, but the owners are really friendly and thoughtful.

Local liquor store that also has a great selection of cheese? Sign me up. The cask never fails me.

I prefer Punjabi Dhaba for my everyday Indian fare, but the lunch buffet at Kebab Factory is verrry good. Highly recommended.
