This is weird, even for the T. A man dressed as a clown acted and yelled in an aggressive manner towards a woman leaving the green line at Riverside Station in Newton on Monday. The victim told police she was walking towards Hancock Street near 275 Grove Street when the suspect approached her on a "small bicycle." He reportedly asked her “Where’s Waltham?,” got off the bike and came towards her in "an aggressive manner." He allegedly was weaing clown makeup, a rainbow wig, a plaid shirt, and jeans. The woman allegedly saw the same clown talking to some girls on the train earlier on Monday. [Newton Patch], [WCVB] more ›

We know that Richard Davey and his crew at the MBTA just met the business end of the Twitter nation thanks to an alert rider's photo of a man exposing himself on the Red line. The T is planning to incorporate social media tools into its crime-fighting arsenal. We know the idea of the T having an arsenal of any kind is amusing, to say the least. You know what we meant. more ›

This Bostonist knows that Barbeque can be a touchy subject. People have their favorites for different reasons; from what sides are offered to the spiciness of the sauce, there are so many things a BBQ place can be judged upon. So, this particular Stuff to Eat in the Suburbs, is all about personal preference. We all love Redbones, and Firefly’s in Natick has a lot going for it as well. But, if you happen to be in Waltham and are craving some BBQ, then this Bostonist recommends Bison County BBQ. Located on Moody Street, Bison County has a rustic feel with its dark woods and a very well-stocked bar dominating the entry room. Though the place is often packed, it never feels “elbow room only” overcrowded. The open grill in the main dining room adds to the outdoorsy nature of the restaurant. more ›

The first time this Bostonist saw Joe Sent Me it was winter. It looked like just another bar from the outside, pubby and cave-like in the winter snow. At the time we were worried about being cold and were doing much of our drinking inside our own house to avoid having to interact too heavily with outside’s frigid temperatures and piles of snow. However, a couple of weeks ago Joe Sent Me located on Main Street in Waltham got another look. Always on the lookout for any restaurant with outdoor seating to take advantage of the brief months of lovely Boston weather, we noticed a chalk board outside of Joe Sent Me proclaiming in bright red letters Patio Open. Immediately intrigued we vowed to try it before the climate turned south again. Well, we did just that last week with a friend for a late lunch. more ›

If you’re not interested in IHOP, it can sometimes be a struggle to find a decent place that serves breakfast on week days. While many restaurants will happily serve you brunch on the weekends, or in some cases just Sunday, it can be difficult to find somewhere to grab breakfast before work or on a random week day. While this Bostonist first visited In A Pickle looking for a new lunch option with a friend from out of town, as soon as we entered we knew that this was a restaurant that specialized in breakfast. more ›

While dinner options in Waltham are plentiful, sometimes a quick lunch can be a little harder to find. Though many of the local restaurants serve lunch, it is often a sit down affair, not conducive to the brief amount of time allotted to the typical lunch break. However Domenics Italian Bakery & Deli brings a little bit of the North End into Waltham for those of us seeking a delicious but more accessible lunch. more ›

This Bostonist first discovered Tempo as a place to grab a good, girly after-work drink with some friends. Tired of pounding pints at one of Waltham’s many great pubs, we were hankering for a more cosmopolitan atmosphere where we could lounge in style and have, well, a cosmopolitan. Tempo was an instant hit; its martini and cocktail selection is extensive, and drinks are both sizable and well below Boston prices, not to mention girly enough for the most diehard fuzzy navel fan. The Pink Lemonade martini is huge, and tastes so much like fresh squeezed lemonade that you might forget there’s vodka in there—though not for long. (They used to make a fizzy apple drink that was so popular we had to adapt it for home use.) more ›

If you live in the Waltham area, it’s likely that you have passed Taqueria Mexico a number of times and never really noticed it. Tucked away at the end of Charles Street a block away from where it connects to Moody, Taqueria Mexico is a hidden gem worth finding. more ›

At the end of Moody Street, on the other side of the bridge from many of the regular Waltham haunts, there is a brick building nestled along the water. This old building used to house a fire station, but now it is home to Biagio, one of Waltham’s best Italian restaurants. Normally, when people talk of Moody Street they sing the virtues of the great Thai food, Pub food and Indian food that can be found there. Italian food is better left for the North End. But if you live in any of Waltham’s neighboring towns or even if you don’t, you owe it to yourself to pay Biagio a visit. more ›
