room and board

[reflectedeve]

Hey, so, this is definitely both random and last-minute, but ... my roommate has until the weekend to decide whether she's staying in our apartment for another year. She's just been checking around our immediate circle, really, but: if you happen to know someone in the Boston area who might be looking for a room, drop me a line?

I kind of wish I could pick my neighborhood, and especially my roommate, up and take them with me to Vermont. She's sweet, funny, nerdy, and incredibly cooperative. Our place is located halfway up a hill in Somerville, between a comic shop (and cafe, and fantastic little Thai place) and the main library branch. Plus it's surrounded by gorgeous Victorian houses with nice gardens, and the farmer's market is less than five minutes' walk from the front door. It's really come to feel like home; I'm mostly excited to move to a rural area, but.

While I'm still here, though ... I don't suppose anyone has recs for a favorite restaurant in the North End? I have terrible luck with that, for some reason, but I'd like to take my family for Italian on Father's Day.

Restaurant rec: Cantina Italiana! I have never had a bad meal here. Their Pollo Abruzzese is like one of my favorite things in the WORLD. Um. I may need to take a trip to Boston now just to eat there again, omg.

Or there's always Regina's. Oh Boston, sometimes I miss you a LOT. I totally get your desire to be able to pick up a house or a neighborhood and just transplant it with you. Finding and creating a new place that feels like you is always a challenge.

Ooh, that looks pretty fantastic, thank you! I love Regina's too, but I think we were going for something new/more pasta-oriented this time.

Yeah, it took me a good long while to get settled here ... I know the community I'm going to is about as ready made for me as it probably gets, but still. :/

So the restaurant was awesome; my whole family loved it! Thank you so much for the rec! ♥♥♥ I actually wound up ordering the Pollo Abruzzese based entirely on the menu description, and so did my brother - I only just remembered that you mentioned it was your favorite.

...Well, I am thinking of moving to Boston in the fall, and that sounds ridiculously ideal, but it is alarmingly short notice, and I wouldn't want to move in until mid-August at the earliest. That said, I thought I'd let you know that in a perfect world I would love to inherit your roommate.

Oh, I know, it's stupidly inconvenient timing. :( Sorry. I hope you find someplace fantastic! If I hear about any other openings that might suit, I'll pass them along.
