Honed black granite counter for kitchen
Thanks I bought some of the commercial granite cleaner and I do use it every day. I think the issue is that grease cannot sit on it without being wiped up fairly quickly.,or there is a risk of stain. so the maintenace is more than the shiny granite but I like the look which sorta resembles soapstone which I had in my family home .

Honed black granite counter for kitchen
Hi
I love the look of this but have had mixed advice. Is it really a bad choice? I do not mind wiping off fingerprints, but is it true that it will show grease stains and not look good after a while? I thought of using aniqued zimbabwe black granite . Someone advised that because of its uneven surface it would not show stains like the honed, But I have sample pieces of both and I think it is possible that the antiqued could be a worse choice if stainng is an issue,.If I just have to wipe down the honed twice a day I'd choose it. But if I am in a no win battle because it really is a bad kitchen counter choice then I guess I'll need to look at other choices.
Do any chowhounds have any experience with this issue.? Any and all advice is much appreciated.

Staying at Palmer House Can people suggest restaurants within walking distance
Thank you all for all your suggestions. We tried the follwing
Spiaggia, avec ,Atwood Cafe and Blackbird. I thought the pasta at Spiaggia was the best I have ever eaten. I was blown away by the possibility of white truffles on the pasta for an extra $70.00..... I liked Avec better much than Blackbird. Atwood cafe was enjoyable and the food was really quitegood.I also bought coffee at Intelligentsia.Very good. Thanks again.
apartment size kitchen range or cooktop for a small galley kitchen in the Back Bay
I love to cook but have a 24inch GE stove in an apt size kitchen. I'd like a better stove .Maybe I could go up to a 30 inch size,. Does anyone know of any manufacturers (perhaps European as apts are prevalent there)which make a good smaller size stove or cooktop and oven insert. I plan to put in a new countertop and back splash so now is the time to purchase a new range . Can any one advise me or direct me to some place where I can get some advice.? I don't want to spend a fortune on a total kitchen redo. However, if I need to hire a kitchen designer to help me I will. Thank you for any advice.
