Bulk baking supplies

I recently moved to Boston. I enjoy baking as a hobby, mostly breads, but also other kinds of baked goods. Anyone know where I could get bulk flour and things in the area. Costco just doesn't have the kinds I am looking for.

Mexican

I recently had lunch at the Dos Cominos on 3rd and like 50th. I thought it was great. I ate at the bar and the bartender was great.

coolidge corner

Not exactly Coolidge Corner, but a new burger place recently opened in Kenmore Square. It on the same side of the street as the BU bookstore, down the block on the corner next to where the camera shop used to be. Never ate there myself, but heard good things about it.

Any suggestions for Provincetown, MA

Yes, Fanizzi's is one of those unfound great places. We just love it there.

Guess Martin House changes hands a couple of years ago. What I've heard is that it's not been the same since that happenned.

A dozen years ago I remember having one of Sal's specials ... chicken livers over pasta ... which he only serves on I think Sunday nights. We went back for that and were totally disappointed. Beyond that, the whole service thing was amiss. Granted, it was late in the season ... but frankly if your season is only a ocuple months long, I would think you would want to treat all of your cusotmers decently. Oddly enough, the most rude service was from Sal himself.

You know, I was going to mention the Mews. We had our commitment ceremony there in 2001 and could not have been more pleased. The food was great, the staff was great and their dining room is very, very nice, particularly during the day when you can look over the beach into the harbor. Can't say we've been there since though. Maybe thats because we've moved from the east end to the west end.

Looking for a decent burrito in NY. ANyone have any suggestions.

New to the city and am surprised that I haven't yest found anything decent. Was wondering if I was just missing soemthing?

Any suggestions for Provincetown, MA

We have had a house in Ptown for many years so have dined there often. Unfortunately my opinion is that many of the places feel they have a captured market and offer mediocre food and tentative service. A not so fond farewell to Chester's which was way on the bottom of my list ... totally over-rated with unfortunately dispicable service. Almost equal sitting for last is Sal's, who thinks that he's so eccentric that it is OK to treat customers like crap.

So, as for the the good ... we love the Red Inn and have had many great meals there. My partner and I are divided on the Martin House. I say fair, he says great. Our three year old votes for Bayside Betsy ... Betsy made some special homemade macaroni and cheese just for him. We recently had a a very fabulous anniversary meal at the Crowne Pointe. Our one and only time there, but it was truly a great experience.

And for lunch, you got to go to Fanizzi's, way on the west end of town. But great service, the best dining room in all of P-town ... sitting right on the water, and wonderful people. We are regulars there.

We are also regualrs on Bubala's patio, where their seared tuna sandwich makes a great lunch. Plus, you get to watch to world go by down on commercial street.

And finally we love Ross' Grill, although have found it tought to get into because it's so small. In fact I don't think we got in there all of last season.

Anyone have an idea about where I can get the best burrito in Boston?

How about Mexican Food? I've tried a few places but just can't seem to find anything decent.
