Boston area ... any suggestions?

 I went to school in Boston a few years back.

 My favorite Chinese: The Rainbow Rest. - Chinatown
       (This is even a non-luxurious kind of place.  A bit
         to big to be called a hole-in-the-wall.)

 Favorite Burger: the Cream Cheese Burger at Arbuckle's in Alston
             at Commonwealth and Harvard St.  (B Green line)

 For good dessert, wine, and atmosphere: The King's Rook in Marblehead
             This is about a 30 min. drive from downtown.
             Excellent French Silk pie (at least when I was there)

 Good, fun Mexican: The Border Cafe at Harvard Sqr.

 Since, I was a student at the time, you might expect that these
 are reasonably priced places.  Well, you'ld be right, except for
 the King's Rook is a little pricey, but worth it IMHO.

 Have a great time.  Boston is great!
