FIRST LOOK: ELM STREET TAPROOM

Written by MARC HURWITZ Posted February 18, 2020 Filed Under: Better Boston Beer Bureau, Drinks, Eats, LIFESTYLE

Elm Street Taproom—which is not a brewery, by the way—is so scarily like Democracy Brewing in look and feel that the two appear to be like doppelgangers, almost like beer-based versions of, say, Larry David and Bernie Sanders.

While some places simply say that their takes are inventive or modern and then offer what everyone else is offering, this spot really does have some interesting takes on New England classics.

Written by MARC HURWITZ Posted July 26, 2019 Filed Under: GTFO, LIFESTYLE

Here you’ll find jaw-dropping views, rugged trails, steep cliffs, bubbling brooks, deep woods, an observation tower with picnic tables at the base, and a weather observatory that’s easily one of the true hidden jewels of the Greater Boston area.

GTFO: A HIKE THROUGH DORCHESTER, MILTON & MATTAPAN

Written by MARC HURWITZ Posted January 9, 2019 Filed Under: GTFO, LIFESTYLE

Now, with several treks along the new part under our belts, it’s time to look at the entire walkway, including this new section, which leads to an area of the city that had traditionally been rarely seen by hikers and walkers.

NOT ALL SHOPPING CENTER RESTAURANTS ARE CREATED EQUAL

Written by MARC HURWITZ Posted June 14, 2018 Filed Under: Drinks, Eats, GTFO, LIFESTYLE

This generic retail space just off Route 3 is actually home to a sleek new(ish) restaurant called Precinct 10 that wouldn’t be all that out of place in downtown Boston and is run by a group that also operates a few highly rated dining and drinking spots south of the city.

FAIRMOUNT GRILLE, HYDE PARK

Written by MARC HURWITZ Posted March 30, 2018 Filed Under: Eats, LIFESTYLE

The Fairmount Grille had once been home to a beloved spot called Townsend’s, and while that place was unusual in that it was basically an Irish restaurant with global influences, the Fairmount Grille is probably just a touch more familiar-feeling to most, being a casual upscale bistro of sorts with a mix of classic American, New American, and Mediterranean offerings.
