Neighbor Jake London had this to say about dining out on Beacon Hill. We couldn’t agree more!
Busy day for me today. Not a lot of time to eat. So I phoned in an
order to Beacon Ave Deli Sandwiches around 6:45pm (they close at 7pm).
Then, I buzzed up there, picked up the sandwich, brought it home, and
ate it.Total time spent: 30 min. Now, I’m back on task (well almost <g>).
This experience got me thinking a little bit about how much has changed over the last year and half up here on Beacon Hill.I prefer not to eat in such a hurry. But sometimes it can’t be helped.
Even a few months ago, I could not have run out and grabbed a quick,
made to order, quality sandwich, without leaving BEHI. Now I can. This
is such a quality of life improvement.Between new spots like Beacon Ave Deli Sandwiches, Tippe and Drague,
Travelers, the Oak, and Bar del Corso; and old favorites like El
Quetzal, Baja Bistro, Inay’s, Kucina Filipina, etc., we’ve got
significantly more dining choices than we did even 18 months ago.I don’t know about you folks, but I find it a really amazing change to
be able to go out regularly for a bite or a beer without leaving my
neighborhood.I just want to encourage everyone, within their time and means, to
keep giving these places your business. (Haven’t been to the sandwich
shop yet? Give it a try!). And if you feel like your needs aren’t
being met, try to offer friendly and constructive feedback. I’ve
gotten to know the owners of a number of these new spots, and they all
seem very committed to serving the needs of the people who live in the
neighborhood.Best,
JL
