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
In Downtown Boston, I don't see the mountains, or hear the loons and the air is not as fresh to breathe. Downtown Boston is great for a lot of things especially things like medical care and maybe some shopping or a ride on a swan boat. In summer though, I need the magic of our wonderful lake and I love several of our restaurants on the lake AND the wonderful dinners at the homes of friends. I have lobster roll lunches so will miss Sam and Rosie's but Canoe has good lobster rolls if any of you are looking for a replacement. There is room for both lake restaurants and Boston restaurants and lucky are we all that enjoy such wonderful places!
