736 Massachusetts Ave
Cambridge, MA 02139

Tom E. writes: Hot off my bike I stumbled into Hot Off The Press looking for a coffee and a breakfast snack. I guess a grilled PBJ + banana panini is a little more than a snack unless you're Elvis, but for me it was my Friday breakfast.

Now - this place looks cool.…

Brian's Garage

43 Wexford Ave
Needham, MA 02494

Ben R. writes: Brian's garage is the best place to take your VW or Audi. The place isn't much to look at but the guys don't lie to you, and they charge a fair amount on all repairs. They'll even drop you off/pick you up at the Green Line when you drop your car off.…

Boston, MA 02109

Jeffrey H. writes: There isn't much to say about Red Sky that makes it great or that makes it suck. To me, it's the standard 3 Stars.
