I met a couple of friends last Friday (Aug 9) for margaritas and tapas at Citrus & Salt in the Boston Seaport 'hood. Fun, lively place! There were at least 2 apparent bachlorette parties going on.

We had our anniversary dinner here last week. Food and service were both absolutely fantastic but the vibe was mega pretentious. It's upstate New York, not Brooklyn, people!

Oh man. I totally forgot about this thread. Now I'm regretting not taking pictures of all of the menus we had in Italy.

I went to Row 34 in Kendall Square (Cambridge) yesterday evening after the movie. Spawn the Elder and I shared a half-dozen fresh oysters and one oyster slider each. He got the seared monkfish; I had a taste - it was excellent. I ordered a small portion of fried oysters. I'm oyster-saturated for the time being! StE imbibed a couple of Counting Stars cocktails, which he said were delicious. I stuck with water.

Row 34 Cambridge is so much easier to negotiate than their original location in the Seaport, both in terms of parking and driving to and from Rozzie.

Yes!!! Totally agree re the Cambridge location. Love Row34.

Parking at the Yellow Garage on Ames is only $10 between 6 pm and midnight, which is a bargain for that neighborhood!

When I had my short stint at Club V version 2 in the Seaport, I'd walk over to Row 34 on Congress St and have a glass of wine and several fresh oysters before I headed over to South Station to go home. Had Row 34 opened its location in Kendall while I was still in the office at Big B, I would have blown plenty of pharma bucks on pre-commute wine and oysters there!

I dined at La Indita while visit friends in Tucson AZ. Although I really liked my "Indian taco" (carne asada w/ O'Odham style seasonings and other toppings on fry bread), my friend's order of beef barbacoa was out of this world! So, today's afternoon project is making Kenji López-Alt's beef barbacoa.
