Local Faves - Restaurants and other businesses I patronize

• Antonio's - Italian fare on Beacon Hill to rival anything in the North End. They don't have a Website, but you can find them here.
• Border Café - Fun (though noisy) restaurant near Harvard Square. Best to go at off-peak times or you'll have to wait for a table.
• Fire + Ice - You can't go wrong with your meal, no matter what combination of ingredients you select. It's always unique and always delicious. We've eaten in Cambridge and the Back Bay.
• Grotto - More fine Italian dining in a charming location.
• Kinsale - Great food plus a unique atmosphere. The pub was designed and built in Ireland, then shipped to Boston.
• The Last Hurrah - Fantastic food and cocktails in a relaxing, posh atmosphere. This is one of our favorite little lunch spots.
• Pierrot - Excellent French bistro on Beacon Hill.
• Scollay Square - The lobster mashed potatoes are to die for!
• 75 Chestnut - I liked it better when the restaurant was more upscale, but they still serve fabulous food and now the prices are more reasonable.
• Bostix - Terrific local resource for same-day half-price tickets for theatre, music and dance performances.
• Dog Day Afternoons Country Day Prep - We send our dog here once a week for exercise and socialization. The staff loves their canine clients and keeps them safe while the dogs have a blast. Sophie gets so excited when the van comes to pick her up. Oh, yes, did I mention, they offer pickup and dropoff service as well?
