Shiki


Usually sushi in Brookline means Fugakyu but every once in a while it's good to expand your horizons and try new things. So I gave Shiki a try. The food was decent and authentic but it wasn't as cosy and comforting as I was hoping for.

Greenhouse

Ended up in downtown Albany for lunch and was feeling a salad. Had no idea what I was getting myself into when we walked into Greenhouse A chopped salad company. All the ingredients were fresh and the salads were made right in front of you. They should have had a sign saying it might be a good idea to share with a friend because the portions were enormous.
