A couple of Saturdays ago, when it was unseasonably warm, we went to Rapscallion to enjoy their outdoor dining area…and so did everyone and their uncle. For no reason at all, we hadn’t been there in some time. We got there on the late side and there was still quite a wait, which was helped by beer, wine, and bocce. Food suffered a bit. B had some sort of chicken sandwich(which he said was just ok), my hummus platter was meh, particularly the watery baba ganoush. At least Spring Onion liked his burger. Do you know what? We didn’t mind the mediocre food. The setting is so pleasant and we had a nice chat with the hustling owner, who we have seen there since the first opened. He was working hard, helping his hard-working staff. Well be back soon.
We had a free 2.5 hours on Sunday while SO took his nature class. We’re still trying to furnish our RI house, so we checked out Room & Board. We left empty-handed and peckish. And what do we see…Bukowski’s is still open! We’re actually quite amazed, particularly because there are seemingly no dives left in Boston. Everything is so corporate and polished. Of course, we pop in for a beverage and some tater tots (still good). Great and friendly service. And they now take credit cards, which made the 3 of us long for the old days. We paid cash, of course and left a healthy tip.
