it's too bad i don't have a car to hit those places that are further away...or maybe it's a good thing - for my wallet and my waistline. =)
some of my current fave's in Boston (in no apparent order):
Barking Crab
East Coast Grill
Chez Henri
Giacomo's (North End)
Finale
L.A. Burdick
Christina's
Mike's Pastry

Wow, what a list! Lots of research here, I can see! I like a lot of these places, too, including:
Blue Ribbon
Monica’s Restaurant
Il Panino
Changsho
New Shanghai
East Ocean City
Boca Grande
Ole Mexican Grill
Casa Romero
Mike’s Pastry
Clery’s Bar
Matt Murphy’s Pub
Hei La Moon
Sadly, Tim's Tavern is gone, New Shanghai has gone downhill (though I hear it might be good again), and the Picante in Somerville is no more...nothing stays the same, I guess.
