I went to Red 8 in the early days and it was pretty good. Overpriced for what it was, but good. I know a few people who prefer Rare to any of the other steakhouses in the region. I'm skeptical (and I also feel steak is one of the few things I can do better at home so I typically avoid overpriced...

That would make sense. It's a pretty valuable asset. Umbria has a pretty rough 3.5 star rating on Google, but closing less than a month after opening would be pretty surprising. Thanks, I read too quickly. Found this on the space. I'm glad to see its being occupied.

I'm flying out of E tomorrow evening. I don't like to get to the gate before boarding starts, but tomorrow will be an exception.

Great stuff, thanks! Does anyone know what this means? Holder of an Common Victualler All-Alcoholic Beverages License has petitioned to Pledge the License to: Eagle Bank. It's related to Umbria Steak House in the North End which is pretty new. Does this mean they're giving up already? "Tir...

Maybe? I thought the T put in a concerted effort to be more transparent and specific about about stating reasons for delays/disruptions to service. So when I see a "disabled train" message, I always assume it's mechanical. I've seen "delays due to a passenger who has become ill" (paraphrasing -...

I got a notification that OL service was delayed yesterday to a disabled train that needed to be taken out of service. Anyone have an idea of what happened? When I checked New Trains yesterday, 9 were running. There are 11 running as of this morning.

We go to 2-3 games per year with friends who are season ticket holders. Beyond what everyone has already said about the atmosphere/experience, my favorite thing about seeing it in person is getting the consistent whole-field view. If you're a fan of the game, you can really get into the chess...

Yeah, it has been busy each time I've walked by. There was even a decent lunch crowd yesterday. Frankly, I'm amazed at how many seats they squeezed into that space. It did not look big to me before and during construction, but they really made it work. And the outside space looks like it triples...

Mida in East Boston is now open (as of this past weekend, apparently).

Pretty impressive. I've said this before, but Spirit's big front seats are one of the best deals in the sky. A cushy domestic first class seat at the very front of the plan and plenty of legroom often for around the cost (or less than) of a basic economy ticket on United/American/Delta/JetBlue...

I see ads all over the city. But the ones I’ve seen are mostly generic with the logo on a blue background which I think means nothing to anyone who isn’t already familiar with the Pru and Observatory. They need better photos of the actual view and spaces incorporated into the campaign so people...

I doubt there are as many under roadways as there are railroad tracks, but I visited this one in Tokyo. Sanagi Shinjuku. It's under a pretty big elevated highway.

Maybe, but there are plenty of very successful non-chains/national brands in touristy areas. I'd wager that between the liquor license and the rent in such a prime location, the number of potential tenants was pretty limited and Ramsay won out. It is pretty important (vitally so, in many...

It doesn't sound like it was the original plan. There's talk of this specific example in a recent Globe article. They originally hoped to get an East Boston restricted license. But now that's apparently not happening and they can't justify the $500k (or more) for a standard license. My guess is...

I love the space (and the fact that it's open), but am not thrilled with the tenant. It's such a unique space and location that it somehow feels cheapened by a Gordon Ramsay branded concept. Maybe the food/beverages are incredible, but I would have loved to have seen something more uniquely...

I had a rookie moment last week - was heading to CX from Maverick Thursday evening and without thinking tried to transfer from Blue to Green at Gov't Center where I got the bad news that GL service wasn't running between Gov't Center and N. Station. I knew this, but forgot. Anyway, a whole host...

Agreed - as a shopper I prefer Natick to Chestnut Hill too (by a good margin). But Wegmans Chestnut Hill is not competing with Wegmans Natick. They’re both competing with other nearby supermarkets. And the difference is that the logistics are similar at any other supermarket in the Chestnut Hill...

Poorly worded on my end - I meant navigating deep into the mall property. Not the mall itself. Not the end of the world, but probably enough of a deterrent for some shoppers. Others passing by may not even know it exists. I still think the idea of simply having to park in a garage (even a free...

Having been to this particular Wegmans a few times, it was a PITA to access relative to most suburban grocery stores. It required navigating fairly deep into the mall (and even getting to the mall isn't fun), parking in a garage across a 3 lane road and either crossing that at the street level...

I'm a big fan of bold colored liveries - Air Greenland, Air New Zealand (the All Black), Play Airlines, the new Condor liveries, etc. are among my favorites. And I think this looks pretty nice. But it's not a drastic departure from the SWA liveries which are already extremely prevalent across...
