134 Hampshire St (btwn Elm & Norfolk), Cambridge, MA
Restaurante Mediterrâneo · Inman Square · 129 dicas e avaliações
Senator John Blutarski: Eat: whipped feta, falafel, grilled octopus; literally everything is delicious, just choose a creature you feel like eating and believe in everything else from there. Rosé Rioja doesn't suck either.
Restaurante Chinês · South End · 215 dicas e avaliações
Senator John Blutarski: Ask for the crispy tofu from the vegetarian menu; small cubes of tofu are quick-fried and served with lemon, cilantro, and a generous helping of sriracha aioli. Eat!
Senator John Blutarski: The clam chowder with house-cured bacon combines wonderfully with the Schlenkerla smokebeer for a delicious warming snack or first course on a cold day.

Restaurante Americano · Kenmore · 305 dicas e avaliações
Senator John Blutarski: If you're looking for late-night food in Boston, you can't do much better than the daily specials posted on the mirror behind the bar after midnight. Follow the restaurant on Twitter to see the specia
Bar de Coquetéis · Seaport District · 235 dicas e avaliações
Senator John Blutarski: Don't be timid; everyone here is happy to make you a drink you'll love. Think of a spirit (rum, gin, etc) and a flavor (sweet, bitter, resfreshing, fruity) and they'll take it from there. Exceptional.
Restaurante de Comida Típica do Sul dos EUA · Inman Square · 67 dicas e avaliações
Senator John Blutarski: The gumbo is so damned incredible. Available both at Sunday brunch and throughout the week, it has become a dining-out staple for everyone I know who tries it. Eat.
Restaurante Americano · East Watertown · 62 dicas e avaliações
Senator John Blutarski: Make sure you save room for dessert; the brittle is so delicious and so thin it's all flavor and almost no sensation of chewing. Devour merrily. Eat!
Restaurante Italiano · South End · 169 dicas e avaliações
Senator John Blutarski: Much like a five dollar milkshake, the $10 Italian grinder is your favorite from sub shops, but made from only the highest quality ingredients. It will make your entire day. Eat.
Casa de Sushi · Downtown Boston · 69 dicas e avaliações
Senator John Blutarski: Start your meal with a bottle of Dassai Junmai Daiginjo sake. Yamadanishiki rice is polished down to only 23% of the original grain. Religiously delicious.
1271 Cambridge St (btwn Oakland & Prospect), Cambridge, MA
Frutos do Mar · Inman Square · 84 dicas e avaliações
Senator John Blutarski: One of the best drinks on the menu is the Daly Palmer; mango-sweet-tea-infused vodka & fresh-squeezed lemonade served in a pint glass with ice. Wicked yum.
Frutos do Mar · North End · 356 dicas e avaliações
Senator John Blutarski: The Vitello Tonnato is casually known as 'Most Decadent Sandwich': thinly sliced veal & clumps of raw tuna with cucumber and a light spicy mustard. Pricey, but delicious. Eat!
BBQ Joint · Arlington Center · 59 dicas e avaliações

Sanduicheria · Mid-Cambridge · 18 dicas e avaliações

Senator John Blutarski: they sell a proscuitto sandwich with tomato, basil, mozzarella, and dressing that will feed you for hours and change your day. put it inside you for joy.
Restaurante Mediterrâneo · East Cambridge · 15 dicas e avaliações
Senator John Blutarski: This is without parallel the highest quality food in the mall. My favorite is the chicken shawarma wrap; order a large on wheat 'with everything' & spicy sauce. Eat!
Senator John Blutarski: The perfect suburban Greek pizza & sub shop. Try an extra cheese pizza well done or any one of their delicious sandwiches on fresh sub rolls, and Tino's dry humor is one of a kind. Enjoy!
Restaurante Americano · Kendall Square · 49 dicas e avaliações
Senator John Blutarski: The burger brings back the childhood delight of a Big Mac, but made with delicious high-end ingredients! Double down if you're hungry. Eat!

Senator John Blutarski: The bar is already perfect, but on Sunday nights a small jazz trio fills the small underground room with piano, drums, and standup bass. Enjoy with their excellent libations.

Senator John Blutarski: The smoky sweet flavor of the Mezcal Mule pairs wonderfully with near-everything that comes through the tiny hatch to Crif Dogs. Enjoy!
Senator John Blutarski: The Banane Vanille is a miracle in liquid form. All bottles are handpainted and the rum is made on site! Stock up for your trip home: the rum is only available in St. Martin. Enjoy!
65 4th Ave (btwn E 9th & E 10th St), Nova Iorque, NY
Restaurante de Ramen · Greenwich Village · 1165 dicas e avaliações

8 Stuyvesant St (at E 9th St & 3rd Ave), Nova Iorque, NY
Bar Escondido · East Village · 493 dicas e avaliações
Senator John Blutarski: The menu's featured drink is a "Speak Low"; a blend of two rums, sherry, and an amazing macha green tea as an homage to Japanese tea ceremony in cocktail form. Don't leave without one. Drink!
