I have eaten at lots of places in the Lakes Region and Boston..so let's do a compare where would I rather dine...
O's or Smith and Wollensky...easy Smith and Wollensky
Canoe or Sal De La Terre ...easy again Sa De La Terre
Fratellos or Boston's North End ...another no brainer, Mamma Maria, Marco, Trattoria LL Panino are just a few of the many I enjoy in the North End
Common Man Food Chain or Legal Seafood Food Chain...Legal please
Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks...I'll take a grande
The Woodshed or Anothony's Pier 4...We will all miss Anothony's when it closes...I am not so sure about the Woodshed.
I have to admit, once in a great while I get the urge to make a dash to Mickey D's like Bill Clinton. But when I am up on the Lake, I will fire up the barbie or oven and enjoy my own cooking.
Living in Downtown Boston, all of the Boston Restaurants mentioned above are less than a 15 minute walk away for me. So, not only do I save on the tax, I save on gas and get to walk off that dessert I had at Caffe Vittoria
