Looking for local color and good eats on a Thursday morning. Have heard about Franklin Spa or 4th St. Diner. Anyone have a preference or another rec?

Huh, interesting. I couldn't disagree with you more. I've been in three times, each time greeted with warmth and smiles. And information. My sense? They do know their stuff - and they are connected! Cantillon is not an easy Belgian beer to find and they carry it! Also-I found the wine to be priced within reason with a vast selection (Greek?). They are definitely filling a void in the Village. And I'm psyched they were able to open so quickly.
Take-out quiche in Boston?
As easy as it is to make a home-made version, I would love to find myself a quicherie in Boston. Anyone know of a great spot to pick up a ready-made quiche? or should I just move back to Brussels for that delicious, flaky crust and hearty-but-light cheesey custard and veg filling.....
Whats New at Eastern Standard?
Yes hpl! Exactly.....enthusiasm + knowledge + old world tradition + alcohol= one of all-time fave restaurants in Boston (and we're food snobs).

Globe is featuring the bartender, Jackson Cannon, on the front page of the Lifestyle section today - echoing my strong feelings of how this seemingly large, impersonal pseudo bistro is really a fantastic, authentic bistro that pays appropriate homage to all that can be done right in casual dining and libations.
I love this place, the staff, and how everyone is committed to making the diner feel at home.
