I had my esteemed BC Libraries colleagues answer this for me, as my diet consists entirely of post-it notes. Here are their gustatory responses.
- Seoul Soulongtang is AMAZING
- Thonglor!
- Gyro City
- Brookline Lunch
- Jinny’s pizza in Newton Centre
- Brighton Bodega
- Citrus & Salt
- Hopewell Bar & Kitchen
- Hokkaido Ramen Santouka
- Asmara
- Bakey!!!! It has the best bagels in Boston, you don’t need to have them toasted. And, the best Babka! The Brookline location is in walking distance to the Booksmith as a bonus!
- Rino’s in East Boston. It was on Guy Fieri’s show, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, and makes pasta fresh in-house. http://www.rinosplace.com/
