Welcome

A curiosity shop is a place of odds and ends in a wide range of categories. One never knows what one will find on any visit, and that is the goal of this blog. Here you'll find postings on doings around Easton, the world's environment, history, recipes, fly fishing, books, music, and movies with many other things thrown in as well.

Boston's Top Restaurants

While we have been focusing on San Francisco 60 years ago, the 2011-12 Zagat survey listing Boston's top restaurants was released yesterday according to a report at CBS Boston. The story includes links to the winning restaurants. How many of the winner's have you eaten at?
O Ya
Oleana
La Campania
Neptune Oyster
Lumiere
Hamersley's Bistro
Uni Sashimi Bar
T. W. Food
Menton
Mistral

Legal Sea Foods, while it didn't make the "top restaurants list" was named the most popular in Boston. It's safe to say I haven't eaten at any of the top restaurants, but I have eaten often at the Legal's satellite in Braintree. Normally, I get a great meal, but the fried clams on my last visit were dreadful. The clams at Maguire's are clearly superior. Guess I'll stick to the excellent grilled fish at Legal.

CBS Boston is the website for WBZ radio and TV as well as Channel 38 and Sports Radio 98.5. The site has been revised recently and is now a good place to go for news updates. If you go to the home page and scroll down on the left you'll see the link to Jordan Rich, the late night weekend host on WBZ radio. There you can find audio of some of Jordan's recent interviews. Many, many years ago in Randolph, Jordan was a student in a class I team-taught with another teacher. Jordan was a star in our then topnotch drama program, but his two history teachers were most impressed by his dead-on impressions of us on the last day of school! Nice to see that didn't kill his chances in the business.
