Restaurant Review: Taiwan Cafe

Taiwan Cafe is definitely my favorite restaurant in Boston's Chinatown.  It's our regular Friday night haunt, because the food is seriously amazing.  The restaurant was recently renovated (it was closed for almost a year, breaking my heart), and the new design is small but cozy.  I'm usually skeptical of restaurants with huge menus, but everything I've tried has been delicious.

Restaurant Review: Jacob Wirth

I've been to Jacob Wirth twice (due to overzealous purchase of Groupons) and wasn't thrilled either time.  The ambiance is quite nice with a cozy feel and tables spaced close together.  On Friday nights, a pianist is brought in to play songs from the 60s-80s and the whole restaurant sings along, which is pretty cool if you plan on singing, but pretty terrible if you plan on conversing.  The restaurant is booked months ahead for Friday nights, so be prepared to wait at least half an hour.
