The New York Times spends
36 hours in my neighborhood. Two things leap out from the page immediately: 1) the piece starts by describing Boston as "still not quite an avatar of cool," and 2) the NYT throws its own little Boston paper under the bus a bit by suggesting visitors pick up a copy of the
Herald (Thanks!). And naturally, in mentioning a few hot restaurants, they forgot so many others worth mentioning, from Pho and Union to the Franklin Cafe and B&G Oysters (and Picco, Sibling Rivalry, Aquitaine, Hamersley's, Tremont 647, etc., etc., etc.).
