Around Town

It's been another week of dining delights and blights. From a streetside sandwich parlour that I went to, upon a recommendation from a friend, only to learn that I was in the wrong place (thankfully) to an extraordinary Valentine's Day dinner at Bandol, to an interesting experience sampling the new menu at Fore Street.

I went there last night for dinner and will report on it by tomorrow. They've made a lot of changes--some good, some questionable.

Today I'm in Boston on business, but not without going to No.9 Park for lunch, my favorite Boston restaurant.

john, next time in that area of boston try mantra. Another excellent restuarant. i had a great meal there. Also, for lunch the parish cafe on boylston st is great. Not fancy but excellent sandwiches. They have sandwiches that were created by all the great boston chefs and are named by them. a must try!

Thanks, Nick, for the tips. I think I've been to the parish cafe, and it was good. I'll look into mantra. Lunch today at 9 park was terrific.
