I took time off over the past three weeks, hitting a ridiculous number of restaurants all over New England and New York City. Hard to believe, but in the past 21 days of so, I have been to the following restaurants (in no particular order):
Geoffrey's, Roslindale
O'Sullivan's, Somerville
Sawaddee Thai, Providence, RI
Quito's, Bristol, RI
Skip's Snack Bar, Merrimac, MA
Skip's Roadside Diner, Gill, MA
Chef Wayne's Big Mamou, Springfield, MA
Lady Killigrew, Montague, MA
Gray's Papaya, Manhattan
Michael's Restaurant, Brooklyn
Di Fara Pizzeria, Brooklyn
Adelman's Deli, Brooklyn
Main Street Bagel, Queens
Grano Trattoria, Manhattan
Utopia Restaurant, Manhattan
Bubby's, Manhattan
Doogie's, Newington, CT
A Lighter Fare, Milton, MA
Ashley's, Braintree
Lawton's, Lawrence, MA
Elliot's, Lowell, MA
Napoli, Lawrence, MA
Sal's Pizza, Lawrence, MA
Stella's, Watertown
Red Parrot, Hull
I believe that's it, though I'm thinking that I missed one along the way. No matter, though; bottom line is it has been a crazy three weeks of trying out restaurants, with some clear winners among the bunch: The Big Mamou, Lawton's, Skip's Roadside Diner, and Bubby's definitely stand out. In fact, Skip's may just be featured on Boston's Hidden Restaurants this week. Stay tuned!
