I don’t know about you but I am already looking for alternatives to Dewick, which is why Tufts location relative to Boston is so awesome! There are so many incredible restaurants and ethnic foods in our fabulous city. Going into Boston for a bite to eat is the perfect way to escape from the hectic Collegiette life! Here are some great choices to satisfy all of your craving.
1. Sushi
Need a restaurant to take your parents to when they visit? Want to let them splurge a little and treat you to an incredible sushi meal? If your answers to these questions were all yes, then Oishii is the place to go! Zagat rates the food 28/30 and Citysearch said it was the “best sushi bar in America” in 2005. The menu ranges from Foie Gras with Truffle to Real California Maki (http://oishiiboston.com). This place is a must.
2. Italian
The North End has awesome Italian food. It’s a fun place to wander around. If you’re into the bar scene, I’d recommend Benevento’s (http://beneventosboston.com) It has a great atmosphere and is always packed and lively! I love, love, love the pizza here. On the other hand, if you are looking for something a little smaller and quaint, try Trattoria Il Panino (which is actually Italian-Mediterranean food). There is barely enough space for six tables in the whole restaurant which makes for a very cozy, intimate environment –a great place to bring a date! (http://www.trattoriailpanino.com)
3. American
If you have something big to celebrate, make your way to Top of the Hub. The restaurant is located on the top floor of the Prudential Center, which makes it the ideal location to eat and enjoy the scenery. It is a little pricey to say the least but the view from the Top of the Hub is truly spectacular. When it’s light out, you can see the entire span of Boston, and at night you can see the lights of the city twinkle and sparkle. (http://www.topofthehub.net)
4. Dessert
I recommend Max Brenner if you need to satisfy your sweet tooth, hands down. Max Brenner has a couple of locations around the country and I’ve always enjoyed my meal when I come here! This is the perfect restaurant to go for a Collegiette’s night out. The ambiance is really fun and the desserts are out of this world. From chocolate marshmallow pizza to salted caramel milkshakes to banana tempura fondue, whatever you choose will be a taste bud explosion (http://www.maxbrenner.com)!
Good food can make your week so make sure you are going to the best places in town. Good luck and happy eating!
