Good and inventive food doesn't have to be expensive. Few of our restaurants create experiences.

For my money I would take Peach Farm and Gourmet Dumpling house over any of the overpriced Caesar salad that litter the city. Give me a glass of wine and a few different cichiettes at SRV over the 7 course tasting menu most days.

My point isn't that there isn't good food. There isn't a scene.

And the north shore roast beef sandwich is the best regional sandwich in the country.
