Day 18 -- A Veggie Burger Come True -- APUNK by Vampire Weekend
Alas! I went to a vegetarian-friendly restaurant last week. In other words its vegetarian options didn't taste like a salted foot. (well, not a foot, but you get my point). My friends and I were starvin' one evening at around 5pm. After some indecisive back and forth on where we should grab our early bird special meals, we decided to go to Christopher's in Cambridge, MA. (I may have been pulling for Chicago Uno's...). If you've never been to Cambridge, it's the mecca land for intellectual yuppies, so naturally I gravitate to this area. (Minus the intellectual part!) Here, you'll find a sea of progressive restaurants, pushing any flavor-of-the-minute food trends.
Christoper's is great, because you'll find lots of traditional pub, comfort food, but with a delectable, pretentious twist. I.E. They actually have a dish called Yuppie Nachos (Sundried Tomatoes, artichokes, cheese, and other yummy, toppings). But, the best part about this place is that you won't pay your standard she-she prices! I got their award winning veggie burger with a side salad and fries for around 9 bucks. That may sound expensive to you, but the portions were huge. (I am feasting on the leftovers as I blog!)
Also, if you're looking for some interesting specialty drinks, try the restaurant's Cool as a Cucumber Martini! (I may have had a few of these...) The drink is delicious and uses organic cucumber vodka. Not sure what that is really, but damn is it good!
Whether you're visiting Boston, or been here for years. Try this place out! Christopher's has clutch food that would please a crowd. Also, there's a great music venue next door, called Toad. The bar plays music every night of the week at no cost. So out of towners, come on by. It's the perfect off-the-beaten tourist trap path destination.
