Editorial Review

The capital's dearth of decent seafood necessitates a savvy New England import. Salty spirit of Gloucester fishermen lives on in the fleet of blackshirted waiters who take orders on handhelds, know good oysters from better oysters. No-contest calamari, slabs of fish dished as comfort food. Portrait gallery burnouts meet workaholics-on-leave, relish white leather seats, dark oak whalebone eaves, lofty metal tracks of halogen lights. Sample fine wines at hygienic oval bar, devour real Boston Cream Pie.
