  • Comfort Food from Angel Foods

    When we return to the city from Provincetown, one of the things we miss the most is Angel Foods – our favorite, little, food shop in the East End.

    Liz, the owner, has a great sense of what her customers are craving and she changes up the offerings with the season. On our most recent trip we really enjoyed her sheperd’s pie. She filled a loaf pan with layers of meat, corn, peas, carrots, and mashed potatoes, then topped it off with some good cheese.

    The shop has a small parking area, making it great for a quick stop on your way into town to stock up for your first meal.

    And, there are a few seats overlooking the harbor if you’re walking around town and stop for a quick bite!

  • Otto Pizza, Coolidge Corner: Our First Look (At This Location)

    We love Otto Pizza and were so happy about the arrival of their first sit-down dining spot in the Boston area, that we rushed over to Brookline on Friday to enjoy a few opening day slices.

    Mashed potato, bacon, and scallion – Genoa salami, tomato, and scallion.

    Yes, there is a bite out of the "mashed potato, bacon, and scallion" slice. Penny, who normally doesn't eat the crust of her pizza, ripped off a corner and was chomping on it before anyone could grab a photo. That says a lot about the quality of the Otto crust. We think that without great crust, you can't have great pizza.

    The newest Otto Pizza is one block from the Coolidge Corner stop on the Green line, across from the Coolidge Corner Theatre. (Now isn't that handy?)

    This corner location has large, arched windows that fill the space with light, and high ceilings that make the room seem far bigger than it is. The user-friendly design accomodates customers who want to dine-in with table service, order a slice and drink at the bar, or anyone who prefers to grab a slice and sit along a counter. You can even stand at a giant beam along the Harvard Ave window "people watching" while you eat.

    We always have to start with the mashed potato, bacon, and scallion. This is one of many white (meaning without red sauce) pizzas on the menu, and we both love this combination of flavors. Next up was the Genoa salami, tomato, and scallion. And, we finished with the butternut squash, ricotta, and cranberry which we think of as a dessert pizza.

    A wide choice of slices ready-to-go after a quick heat & crisp in the oven.

    A nice selection of pizza-friendly beer & wine!

    Best wishes, Otto for great success in this new location. You've given us one more reason to shop Coolidge Corner!
