Every other year is the Albanian festival.
Authentic Asian Noodle Soup West of Boston?
The Sichuan beef noodle soup at Red Pepper is pretty good. Better than SG. The tongue gets that numbness that's expected.
Pearl Jalapeno Beef Frankfurters
I had one at Snappy Dogs in Hopkinton and loved it, so maybe Collela's sells them.
Spalla's/ Culinary delights in Natick
I like Culinary Delights. Did they open inside?
I recently read that Beezers is re-opening inside Trombetta's in Northboro. For years they were the only place to get a Chi Dog.
Interesting Restaurants Around Legacy Place in Dedham? (It seems to be all chains...)
Center Deli/Deli After Dark in Dedham Square has great sandwiches and pizza at night. I like the chicken parm there. 99 beers on the wall, too.
Relaxing weekend with food by a pond? Suggestions for accommodations near good food? [moved from Greater Boston Bd]
Or BBQ from BT's and head to one of many lakes in the area.
Hudson/Marlborough, MA Fish Market Meat Market Farm stand?
I think O'Driscols closed. A casualty of Wegmans.
Hudson/Marlborough, MA Fish Market Meat Market Farm stand?
Small Farm in Stow isn't very far on 117 and grows organically. They also sell Curcubit Farm corn from Acton which is the best around. Central market at the rotary makes Portuguese sausage and Silva's bakery is pretty good.

Good escargot at Chloe's in Hudson
Haven't been in a while.Glad to see they're still at it. Must pay a visit.
few questions in boston w/kids (times) and foxborough.
You mention Kelley's. If it's fried clams you want go to the Red Wing on rt 1. It's a red shack looking, divey place with excellent food. You'd drive right by as a tourist. A mile past the stadium.
Anything New In Natick/Framingham?
The newest place would be O'connell's Sports Bar a little further west or Angry Ham's at the 126 ramp.
Pops Burger, Southington
Stopped by today and a delicious, meaty, juicy burger that dripped down my chin and pooled on the platter(paper lined). You could really taste the beef come through. It's labeled 6 oz., but seemed more like 8-10 oz. A very good ciabatta was grilled and soft enough to not squeeze out the unremarkable cheese and bacon. Fries were hand cut and crisp, but not quite sweet enough. Perhaps too fresh.
When I'm back in the area I'll definately stop by again.
Places to get good Seafood in MA, NH, or Maine coasts?
Can you be more specific? Do you want a seafood shack/fried clam type place or a more formal sit down restaurant?
Toronto Hound Coming For 2 Weeks
For Med product depending on where you are staying there is market on Shawmut Ave next to Formaggio, south of town in Roslindale is Bobs Pita Bakery, Bay Sweets in West Roxbury and Cedars in Norwood where you can also get a shwarma for your trip home.
Boston Restaurants 20 years ago
This reminded me of the Downtown Cafe on Lagrange. Yum
Victors Felafel
He seemed to go out of his way to mention they were baked. I mentioned when I've baked them they don't cook through but these had no raw bean taste.
They had decent spice to them. I would have liked a little more. He crumbled 2 eggs size balls and rolled them with hummus and a little salad.
Victors Felafel
Stopped by today and thought I'd give it a try. It was tasty and satisfying with plenty of baked felafel, contrary to previous posts. Had it with hummus and hot peppers.
Where can I find Boston's best and freshest fried haddock plate?
The Pleasant Cafe in Roslindale. Like the Red Wing, with pizza.
Persian Black Sesame Nabulsi Cheese in Boston Area?
Pretty sure i've gotten it at Bob's Pita in Rossie or Cedar Market in Norwood, but not recently.
Istanbull Grill
I happened to be in Agawam and stopped by Istanbull Grill, http://www.istanbulgrillagawam.com,
And enjoyed a fresh, tasty Doner kabob. The menu looks interesting and the hospitable hostess offered my a glass of Turkish tea while I waited.
If I lived in the neighborhood I would be a regular.
Kaffir Lime Leaves - Lowell?
I remember looking for them last spring to no avail. Perhaps they are seasonally unavailable?

Strip T's was closed yesterday while remodeling. Call first.
