Here are JP's current hot pix for the Boston area: Ambrosia on Huntington $$$$$ French-Asian A trendy restaurant in Back Bay, a bit pricy but well worth it. 116 Huntington Ave., Boston Turner Fisheries of Boston $$$ Best seafood in town. They also have anoyster bar and a lounge that offers the same menu (nice if you don't want ti sit in the dining room). Corner of Dartmouth and Stuart Streets, Boston Anchovies $ An Italian neighborhood restaurant/bar in the South End. Excellent pizzas, pasta, and calzones. Check out the daily specials; they are usually good. There is also a more upscale Italian place next door, but it's name slips [JP's] mind. Columbus Ave. between West Newton an Holyoke Streets, Boston Brew Moon $$$ An excellent place that brews its own beers but is definitely not a brew pub. Nice atmosphere, excellent food and beer. A newcomer to the Theater District. Located in the Transportation Bldg. on Kneeland Street, Boston John Paul also suggests checking out the Boston Restaurant List on the World Wide Web: http://www.osf.org:8001/boston-food/boston-food.html So, E. Pierce Smith from New Orleans, you'd better post back to us the results of your Boston trip! Best--Janet Wintermute, major muncher from D.C.
