some things I like or have been involved with, in no particular order
| Italian | Lucca Back Bay has the best chef of any restaurant in Boston. Nothing I've had in the North End (or even in Italy) can compare. Do go to the North End for a gelato and drinks, though; nearly all the places there are pretty good. I recommend Caffé Vittoria. |
| Thai | King & I on Charles St. has fantastic, authentic Thai cuisine. They somehow manage a seemingly impossible combination: tasty, healthy, and inexpensive. |
| Middle Eastern | Oleana near Kendall has fantastic Turkish and Levantine dishes. I suggest ordering an assortment of meze. |
| Tibetan | Rangtzen in Central Square is excellent. |
| Cambodian | The Elephant Walk (locations in Davis and Fenway) is quite good, but pricey. |
| American | Redbones in Davis Square has excellent Southern-style barbecue. There used to be two good steakhouses in the Boston area, but both closed recently, and the only reasonably-priced ones I would recommend are chains. |
| Indian | I haven't found anything spectacular, but Diva (Davis Square) and Desi Dhaba (Central Square) are good. |
| Breakfast | There are a few Greek-American places that I like for breakfast. Blue Star in Roslindale has great food and bad coffee; Steve's on Newbury St. has good food and good coffee. Many of the cafes in the North End have no hot breakfast but great coffee. |
| Sushi | I haven't found any great sushi places that are worth paying for, but Symphony Sushi is good and reasonably priced. Spice & Rice (Inman Square) is good for groups; they have many non-sushi options and a full bar. |
| Chinese | Some of the larger dim sum places in Chinatown are decent, but none are up to San Francisco standards. |
| Mexican | Don't eat the Mexican food in Boston. |
