The Globe recently rehashed the tired question of what to do about a significant other who won't perform a certain sexual act (DTMFA if s/he won't compromise), adding the clever new twist of using "making grilled cheese" as a euphemism for said act. Hilarity resulted! Some of the commenters did a good job of going all the way with the euphemism, even suggesting baby steps toward tackling a big sandwich: "One thing you can do is start by making a Triscuit with a little melted cheese on top." Boy, that's making us hungry!

Spring is when we get busy here in the Ist-A-Verse. Very busy. But, after staying bundled-up indoors all winter, it's nice for us to be out, about, and collecting things to write about for you. Here's a glimpse at what's been keeping your favorite citybloggers busily away from home and out of bed. For LAist, strong winds attacked LA on the same day the Feds raided the Crips. Not to fear, though: the Japanese version...
Last January, Bostonist came across a cute little spot in Bay Village called Rachel's Kitchen; we loved their "grilled cheese deluxe" and loved even more that the place actually had real owners, Rachel and Alon, who work side-by-side each day at the Kitchen. While the place has great food, it is tiny and can make it hard to secure a seat. They've decided to expand their restaurant business and are currently in the works to launch The Village Table, which they hope to open a few blocks away from their current place.
DCist is screwed in the event of an oil crisis. Not that we're not all screwed in the event of an oil crisis, just D.C. is more screwed. Don't sell your car yet, District resident, a cabbie can kick you to the curb if he doesn't like your address. Not even Metro can save you now. Londonist experiences the London of the future through the wonders of 3D modeling, but while the 3D guys are...
Although Bostonist generally gravitates to low-cost eateries, when a local newbie makes it into Conde Nast Traveler, we sit up and take notice. We'll let you in on a little secret – high priced eateries usually offer more affordable brunches. It's a great way to sample the atmosphere and nosh without taking in the full bill of dinner. It wasn’t long before we found ourselves in the darkened bar of OM Restaurant and Lounge, eager to see what all the fuss was about.
When Bostonist has had it with the Au Bon Pain lunch scene, we turn to our co-workers for lunch suggestions and last week, we were led to a delightful place. Located on Church Street in Bay Village (that tiny area between Back Bay/the Theater District/South End), Rachel’s Kitchen is a tiny, bright place to pop in and grab a sandwich and a retro soda pop in a glass bottle. The place is not a place...
For a while Bostonist had been hoping that El Oriental de Cuba in JP would be open a bit later. After downing some pints at Behan’s a walk over to El Oriental for some mashed plantains is much better than that foreman grilled cheese we end up making after bars close. Alas, they were only open on weekends until 10 p.m. Until yesterday that is, when El Oriental was firebombed overnight. Bostonist loves ethnic food and for Cuban food in Boston this little spot - located "the other way" down Centre St., away from the cute little shops that define the increasingly gentrified JP - can’t be beat. The Boston Globe recounted statements from Maura A. Hennigan, who heard the Molatov cocktail-like fire starter had been tossed through the window of El Oriental around 3:30 a.m. This unexpected arson has taken the neighborhood by surprise and left the Cuban community in Jamaica Plain distraught, waiting for the restaurant to rebuild. Nobel Garcia pledged to the community and reporters that he would reopen the restaurant he’s owned for the last 6 years. Garcia said he had no enemies and didn’t know who could have done it. The food is great, the space itself left a little something to be desired, but nothing to firebomb over.
