I was at Fanueil Hall for the tree lighting and stopped at mcCormack and Schmick’s for dinner. Calamari was expertly fried, oysters were briny and delish. They had fresh, not frozen King Crab. 1 pound for $38. Steep and oh...

't have oysters if I recall but yes on the lobsters and great fried anything . And the inital ride is Rte 1N but once you are on 128 North it is 2 lane tree lined...have fun. 45 min from Boston .

Hardwood Grille on US 1 by 78th street. Lemon Tree on Beach;and on Orchid Island. Great Mexican – La Fonda Taqueria on 14th Ave off 20th street.

i’m definitely looking forward to trying it. but, having grown up in Texas, i fear this will just be another disappointment... but what the heck are “south texas saddlebags”? sounds like it might be calf fries...

I hate to say it, but I’d love to know of one too. Monty’s in Buckhead was way overpriced (they have come down a little—check them out). You could also try Fontaine’s in Va-Hi, but they are mainly known...

a brief heads-up: a wonderful new(ish)neighborhood bistro in Fort Greene on Lafayette/Adelphi. “A Table” (say it in French), excellent fresh oysters, meules meunieres, gazpacho, home made charcuterie (yummy chopped...

in the heat and dust under an oak tree until 12:40 AM to get my small order. I spoke to three others who also waited the better part of an hour for similar orders. The food was tasty enough when it arrived- but by that time I was...

fat tire. and RM oysters. And a partridge in a Pear tree.

The eastern boundaries of the ID are debatable, but Tamarind Tree (vietnamese; fancier than Green Leaf but not expensive; huge menu) and Malay Satay Hut (not fancy Malay/Singaporean) are very close no matter how you judge it and...

Kevin, Matt’s is closed until March for rennovation. I second your recommendation for Shuckers (it’s a great time of year for Oysters). It’s a short, inexpensive cab ride to Harvest Vine (Madison Park) and the...

good, good service. Dinner that night at Emily’s. She crab soup was richer and thicker than most with an excellent flavor. Oysters Rockefeller were excellent as well. Entree of beef medallions with a wine sauce (burgandy?)...

Starfish for oysters. The atmosphere is wonderful, the service is terrific, the oysters are always super fresh. We always walk in without a reservations (we just never think to “plan” to go there) and they have always...

This may be a controversial suggestion, seems this place generates stong opinions either way, but i have never had a bad experience at Louie’s Backyard. Sitting outside under the big trees on the deck was so pleasant and we...

with secret sauce – AMAZING. The place is as casual as you can get – BYOB/BYOdessert/salad etc. Sit on tree stumps, etc.. PICS: http://www.weloveclams.com/theplace.htm

Dried oyster mushrooms are often substituted for tree ear or wood ear mushrooms, but my guess is that if you can’t find one locally you’re not going to find the other. Tree ears, at least in my way of thinking,...
