For those looking for some good eats while waiting for the ice to go out, come on down to Boston for Restaurant Week; or, if your like me and live in MA, head on over. Many of the places people have been recommending in this thread are participating. Go to
http://www.bostonusa.com/visit/restaurantweek and you can look up participating restaurants and see their special menus during the event.
We may have more noise and smog, but you wont find any mud down here this time of year.
