Matters of Taste

+++ Please note location +++

Newest location of Kyuramen in town. Hoping the food here will be as delicious as in the other locations.
Ramen of all types, great appetizers, dessert, teas and so on. The combo meals are a great deal, but most everything is reasonably priced.
I especially like the honey comb theme and the wish trees.

Brand new, very upscale Mexican restaurant. I managed to snag a reservation, but only for 6 people, so make sure you actually intend to attend. I can only assume it is open. I have zero info of the menu or pricing, but it does sound expensive, so be prepared.
Parking in the Mass Ave area can be a struggle, so please be prepared.

True crime, real hauntings, including the Athenaeum building which also houses the Rathskeller restaurant, make for a lively area with many stories about death and hauntings. Including the Athenaeum which we have investigated with public fundraising investigations since 2012!
