August 2013 Openings and Closings
- MC Slim JB Dec 18, 2012 03:15 PM
What, too soon?
Thought this item was noteworthy for two reasons, both self-evident: Bondir is opening a 90-to-100-seat restaurant in Concord. Per Eater Boston, it's shooting for the titular month.
re: Gabatta
Now the Metro'Westers can no longer complain that "no good food" exists in the suburbs! Jason Bond is a fine fellow and I wish him well; I hope his suburban foray marks the beginning of a trend of top chefs opening outposts along Rte 2, as there is really nothing worth swallowing out there, save one's pride after too many egg rolls at Chang An.
Tatte Bakery and Cafe is opening another location at 205 Broadway in Cambridge.
Also while I do not have an address quite yet, a Trini restaurant named "D Coal Pot" is set to open in Hyde Park. What I am hearing is that it is not just another Roti spot, but rather a full fledged Trinidadian restaurant that spans beyond the regular Roti, Doubles, etc....
re: Matt H
Where in HP?
re: catsmeow
984 Hyde park ave
re: Matt H
Is that the corner across from the convenience store? Thx
re: Matt H
I was out in Hyde Park for the first time in ages and noticed a Dominican restaurant (I think) in the space that used to be a non-descript bar on Hyde Park Ave. It's a pretty good sized space so not sure it will last since those places seem to come and go frequently. Also there's a burger place called Zaz or Zoz on River St. that I'd never heard about. Cute and clean. And we tried Fairmount Grill which took the place of Townsends and had a pleasant time. The food was all decent (nothing mind blowing) but well priced and the cocktails were actually very good and very well priced ($9) for interesting combos.
re: Matt H
I was listening to the West Indian radio station this morning and it seems like "D Coal Pot" is open. Based on the ad this could be a really interesting place. True Trini Style take out place serving dishes that are extremely hard to find outside of someones home cooking on a regular basis. Few of the items advertised:
- Shark n Bake
- Crab and Dumpling
- Callaloo
- Aloo Pie
- Saheena
- Macaroni Pie
- Curry Mango
Also the usual's like Roti, Doubles and Palourie.
I will be trying it out soon and reporting back, but even in cities with large Trini populations it is difficult to find a place that steps out of the typical Roti and Doubles box, so this could be exciting.
The Boston Globe reports that the secondary Bondir will open in October. Very exciting.
re: enhF94
I gave it a Devil's Dining Award in 2011:
"Manny Ramirez Award for Least Likely Future Comeback: to Anthony's Pier 4, the Waterfront institution that was Boston's It Place in 1976, but 35 years later has still not gotten the memo that the restaurant world has moved on. Slated for demolition to make way for another glitzy Seaport redevelopment project, it promises to relocate nearby. With its fly-in-amber menu, welter of fresh new Waterfront competitors, and longstanding troubles with the tax man, we're thinking that ain't happening."
(But I was wrong about Manny.)
re: enhF94
yesterday was their last day. i want to know who gets the "buoys" and "gulls" signs from the restroom doors?
Boston Restaurant Talk, and the Boston Tourism and Hospitality blog are both reporting that a new seafood restaurant will open in August in the Back Bay from the Columbus Hospitality Group (Moo, Sorrelina, Teatro, Mistral).
Referencing a craigslist posting for sous chefs, the tentative name is either Columbus Fish & Oyster or Columbus Fish & Seafood. No word on the exact location yet.
re: CTrainInbound
A top caliber seafood restaurant would be more than welcome.
re: Gabatta
Absolutely! Atlantic Fish is really the only one within a short walk from Copley Square and they are always packed with out of towners and not really doing anything exciting in terms of food. Although Island Creek and B&G aren't too far from Copley, it will be great to have something closer in the neighborhood.
I do think the name (whichever one they decide on) could be more creative.
re: CTrainInbound
Atlantic Fish is good, if a bit over priced, when compared to other options. I'm hoping for something a bit more refined than Atlantic Fish.
re: CTrainInbound
they will be in the old avila space.
the columbus group already has a dedicated fish buyer so this should be a great addition to their mini-empire.
re: granolagurl
Boo indeed! This is terrible news.
re: granolagurl
That's the worst news of the year.
re: granolagurl
Oh no :( This season I found pickled cherry leaves and blossoms, mugwort powder, very inexpensive garlic scapes, green ume, chrysanthemum leaves, shishito peppers, amanatto (candied beans), and numerous other hard-to-find things. The search for those items begin again...
re: granolagurl
I know the owners had been pressing to get them out so they could convert that into another block of high-end condo's, but thought they still had a multi-year lease with a lot of time remaining. Maybe they agreed to get bought out..
A shame... I liked their onigiri better than Ebisuya's..
re: granolagurl
Any hope of them reopening somewhere else?
This article mentions a possible move to the old sport shop space. I hope the landlords who told them they would have a longer lease help them move to this spot or one nearby:
re: poptart
The old sport shop space is now a women's fitness center, so I don't see that happening.
re: poptart
I was in there over the weekend and asked if they were moving or just closing. She told me they were looking for new space, but haven't found anything affordable yet.
re: Stride
They should team up with Yumewokatare.
re: granolagurl
sad news
re: marketpeach
Friends and family ( invite only) this week- opening to the public soon after.
re: kewpie
Tonight is the last night of the soft opening...
re: kewpie
Has anyone been to Ribelle yet? I'd love to see a menu...
re: nyc_to_ma
Ribelle menu: http://www.boston.com/blogs/ae/restau...
Cocktail list: http://www.boston.com/blogs/ae/restau...
Shaw's Supermarket's have announced that they will be closing abt 11 stores in RI, MA, and NH.
Seta's Mediterranean Cafe to open in August in Belmont.
271 Belmont St, next to Sophia's (!). This location was formerly Chicken Express.
Based on facebook research, this appears to be first physical location, but Seta has had booths at local farmer's markets for a while.
Here's the facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Setas-...
Just got information that the Cafe Columbus (Liberty Mutual Building) is opening to the General Public this Monday August 5th:
Café Columbus is open to the public and features:
• Specialty beverages including espresso, cappuccino and Starbucks coffee
• A wide selection of freshly prepared items such as sandwiches, salads, soups, pastries and fruit
• Healthy breakfast and lunch offerings
• Digital signage displaying easy-to-read menus and providing nutritional information on healthier offerings
re: meeps2002
Is that what that new building is called? Not a bad-looking one, considering compared to some of its recently-built neighbors. Not enough decent breakfast options in that neighborhood.
re: Bob Dobalina
What was the movie?
re: kimfair1
Yeah really, you can't drop that bomb w/o filling in the details.
I'm going to throw out a guess: Bedknobs & Broomsticks
re: kimfair1
I am really reluctant to say. It might put you in the same position as me. And based on everyone's opinions, I think it is the association of this movie with this restaurant that is infecting my brain.
It is in fact so disgusting that I cannot in good conscience post it here in case a kid might see it.
Let me put it this way...it is a cross between a Saw movie and the Island of Dr. Moreau.
re: Bob Dobalina
I know of the movie that you're writing about. Perhaps (hopefully) the bartender was joking? As others have chimed in I've never had anything but good service, food and drink.
re: mats77
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've figured it out as well. I've seen it, and as well as being disgusting, it's pretty awful.
re: Bob Dobalina
We've actually only gotten bad vibes from the owners (one experience in particular with the chef that still just baffles my mind that a person of his stature would fathom is ok). The rest of their staff has always been great.
re: Bob Dobalina
While it's not my favorite place on the planet (although I *am* excited to have the outpost on my street), I've never been uneasy there.
re: Bob Dobalina
I have never gotten bad vibes there. I find the service to be good not great, but not weird or anything.
Agreed, tell us the movie! My guess: Salò
re: maillard
Great guess! AND, it would be pretty weird for it to be someone's "favorite" movie! I've only eaten at the Area 4 truck, but I have to say, the kafta sandwich was pretty good!
re: Bob Dobalina
We've had nothing but positive experiences and vibes from A4. Sometimes the hostess seems overwhelmed, otherwise everything has been great.
re: Gabatta
We've always felt quite comfortable at 4 as well. Friendly, low-key service and a relaxed vibe. Never sat at the bar, though.
re: blumiethekoala
Yeah, me too. I was sad to see the bbq spot go but it was so short lived I barely got to know it anyways. Besides, since then I got my own smoker :)
I normally avoid new openings but it's so close that we'll probably wander over there at some point this weekend.
re: jgg13
Went there tonight and loved it! It ended up being quite expensive for pizza (most of the pies are in the $15-17 range, and they're sized for about one person), but the vibe was great and the pizza was excellent. Apparently between 11pm and 1am every night once they're up and running for real, they'll serve a few of the basic pies at half price, cold. There are video games, some decent beers (I had a nice Slumbrew), and a really friendly staff. The prices will probably keep me from being a true regular, but I'll definitely be back on an occasional basis - and I'll probably give the late night deal a try pretty soon.
re: blumiethekoala
^^My thoughts are exactly in line with yours! DH went on Friday for the soft opening (I wasn't able to make it) and we both went in for a quick dinner last night. I'm thrilled to have it in the neighborhood but it does seem a little pricey. I understand that the ingredients are high quality and the pizza really is excellent, but it just seems more expensive then the Kendall location. Probably because they only have smaller pizzas. We got a watermelon/tomato salad (delicious but tiny), one marg pizza and two beers. Total w/ tax and tip was $48. Again, the food was great, good beer selection but I definitely wasn't full upon leaving. Since I live right around the corner, I was hoping for a place I could go once every 1-2 weeks. This will probably be a once per month or every 2 months type of place, which makes me sort of sad. Maybe I just need more money?!! LOL. Will be back late night for sure though.
re: jgg13
We ate at A4 pizza last night for the first time.
We ordered the lentil salad with smoked bluefish to start. It arrived in a small frying pan which is a very odd presentation for something that is cold. I tested the pan, just in case it was a hot salad, which sounds silly now. This salad was really exceptional. The green lentils were cooked evenly to just the point of being soft without falling apart. There were some carrots and parsley, and of course chunks of smoked bluefish. The dressing was the star. Tangy mustard, perhaps some lemon. Really terrific.
We then split a sopressata pizza. I started by eating just a bit of the crust without toppings and it is a darn good piece of bread. Slightly tangy, soft textures, and full of actual flavor. Moving on to actually eating everything together, the tomato sauce is seasoned, the cheese is very stringy, and there was a ton of sopressata.
To be honest, I thought there was too much sopressata for the balance, but my dinner companion would not buy into my theory even a little bit. "Just like a good pepperoni" he kept murmuring between bites. I couldn't taste the cheese. It was all texture, but the sopressata might have overwhelmed that component.
Now for the other stuff. This place is expensive. One salad, one 12" pizza, no drinks, $35 with tip. [Once again, I am getting priced out of my own neighborhood.] The space is dark. If there had been no sun, and there won't be in a month, I would not have been able to read the menu. Two groups ordering takeout took their menus outside in order to read it. The music is loud. Talking was a chore, almost impossible. I have known my dining companion for many years. We waited until we got home to chat about the day. The chairs are actually comfortable! That was a nice surprise. The silverware has some substance and was up to cutting the pizza. It does feel like a bar but it appears they have just enough table seats to be called a restaurant. They kept the long skinny bar along the ride side of the space from the BBQ place, and yes, you could eat in those, but not in a leisurely way. Lots of staff folks. More staff than customers. The head bartender was talking up a couple big-time explaining the simple menu over and over, and in order to be heard over the music was really screaming. Our server didn't feel the need to describe things to us in as much detail.

"The space is dark. If there had been no sun, and there won't be in a month, I would not have been able to read the menu. Two groups ordering takeout took their menus outside in order to read it. The music is loud. Talking was a chore, almost impossible."
I LOL'd at the couples taking the menu outside.
I hate -- HATE, HATE -- that people are still opening dark restaurants. I hate loudness, too, but I view that as being something that the restaurants have less control over than the lighting. I've never understood it and never will.
re: FinnFPM
Restaurants can control the noise level; loudness is almost always a conscious choice, especially with new buildouts. I used to believe it was exclusively about creating lively, youthful ambiance (which it is, but only partly). The other big reason for high noise levels is that it discourages lingering, yielding more turns per service.
re: MC Slim JB
All good points.
I guess there must be a large contingent of diners out there who simply don't mind this, because almost no restaurant is good enough to compel me to make a return trip to an excessively loud, dark place.
re: MC Slim JB
Yes it is possible to control loudness through design and material choice. No it is not always a conscious choice that results in a too-loud dining room. Many (most) restaurateurs and their architects simply do not know what to do or how important it is to do it. They may think they want a lively room and then are shocked to find just how loud it can be if no effort is made during design. (I have some personal and professional experience with this.)
re: smtucker
Went last week, had e meatball app, e pizza with banana peppers on it (and sausage?) and a special pizza which was amazing. Overall the pizzas were great and we dug the meatballs. Nice, albeit small, beer selection.
It definitely is expensive though. They bill their pizzas as being individual sized and they are mostly in the upper teens. We had the above and two beers each for around $75, pre-tip.
I dug the space (it was night time, we could read the menus) but its not a place I'd go if I had more than one other person with me.
re: smtucker
Boston Globe reviewed A4 today in the Cheap Eats column just proving that my "quick night price point" is no longer valid. I don't buy it though. A4 is not a cheap eat. I think they just don't have a category for these new neighborhood restaurants with finer dining price points.
Busy Bee Bakery in Melrose closed last week after a 3 year run. A sad loss as a counterpoint to what is otherwise an improving food scene in the city.
re: blumiethekoala
Did the NTSB intern start naming restaurants too?
re: mkfisher
Haha. Despite the clunky name, I'm pretty excited for this place as it's not too far from my apartment. Fingers crossed for roti, which I haven't been able to find around Somerville.
re: blumiethekoala
Well if the Caribbean food doesn't work out, they could always switch to Chinese food without changing the name. /ntsb
Re: roti in Somerville, I enjoyed the Trinidad roti at Hit Wicket, close by on Cambridge Street. Not sure how authentic, etc. but the lamb version was delicious.
re: lossless
Oh, nice! I'll definitely have to give that a try. I've been meaning to make it over there. Thanks for the recommendation.
re: lossless
I also enjoyed the roti (I posted more dtails in the Hit Wicket thread)
re: blumiethekoala
I was wondering what was going to end up there. Could you paste the link to their facebook page? Cant seem to find it for some reason.
Also any mention on what type of Caribbean, from the name I would guess Jamaican.
re: Matt H
Here's the FB: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Some-T...
No specific mention of type, from what I can tell, but they do have a Facebook photo album of what appears to be stock photos of potential dishes. Some interesting stuff in there.
re: blumiethekoala
Thanks! Looks like a Jamaican-Trini hybrid to me. Good stuff.
re: blumiethekoala
SomeTing Nice's sign was up yesterday, but the windows still have plastic.
Per Eater Tamarind Bay in Harvard Square is closing as of 8/9. Supposedly they lost their lease and are looking for new space in Cambridge. It will be interesting to see if they resurface in light of the recent Brookline location closing which was blamed on chef's visa issues. At the time they said they were going to focus on the HSQ location, for which they must have been aware the lease was coming up?
That aside, it is too bad to lose one of the better Indian options in the area.
re: peelmeagrape
Does anyone know about the new WF in Arlington? It looked as tho there were lights on when I drove by today, but I couldn't really get a good look.
re: purple bot
Extremely soon, not November !
re: kewpie
That's great news!
re: kewpie
October, then? I pass it every day and unless they snuck in some magic elves there is no way this is going to be done soon. They have not hung sheetrock yet.
Bento Express, near the corner of Boylston and Tremont, closed for renovations and a new sign is up for Fins Sushi and Grill.
re: nyc_to_ma
We went for dinner tonight - 2/3 full on Saturday, 7:30ish. The basil & walnut pesto pizza was very good. Fans of thin-crust will be happy here - in fact it was paper-thin in places but I didn't mind. The zucchini on the pizza was cooked perfectly. Lentil & smoked bluefish salad was even better than the pizza - flavorful and refreshing. I suggest asking for the mustard vinaigrette on the side and adding as you like. We'll be back soon. Quite a cozy space, and not a good pick for a large group. The tables for 2 already felt ever so slightly cramped.
Looks like Tonic is turning into an Italian restaurant: http://www.universalhub.com/2013/fail...
re: random amblings
From their website: "The Olde Irish Alehouse Will be closing our doors for renovation on July 1, 2013. Expected to re-open in apprx 6-8 weeks with a new main bar and an added function room over-looking the Charles River, as well as much more. Check back for updates."
Construction has started at State Park in One Kendall. There's a long ways to go, but there's actually some progress in the space after 1 1/2 years of an abandoned Think Tank.
AW MAN! Macaron Sweeterie has closed: http://lexington.patch.com/groups/bus... I only went here once and really enjoyed it. We JUST moved down the street from them and were looking forward to their return from their summer closing. PHOOEY.
re: pang
Wow, that was fast: three months?
re: Chris VR
Ugh...I was hoping for something new in its place. Thanks - I'll walk by sometime this weekend.
re: granolagurl
Have you tried either Beantown Taqueria in Central? They have good vegetarian options.
re: viperlush
My hubby and I went to eat at Beantown when they first opened. We were getting ready to order the vegetarian burrito when the customer in front of us happened to ask whether the rice (and maybe the beans, I can't remember) in the burrito had chicken broth in it. He was told "yes." We were going to live in ignorant bliss, but once we knew with certainty that the vegetarian burrito was in fact NOT vegetarian, we left. Haven't been back since. Suppose it is probably worth asking again (perhaps maybe the recipe has changed since????).
I am discovering that a lot of places actually "sneak" chicken broth in where you would least expect it. A friend of mine told me that Masala (Indian in Teele Square) uses chicken broth in their rice. I have yet to confirm this. Unfortunately (and naively) I have a tendency to believe that things are in fact vegetarian when they are marked as such.
re: granolagurl
Just had lunch here. Wet burrito with chili verde had good flavor and is massive. Fish taco made with tilapia was bland. Looked like they were doing well with takeout business.
re: lossless
You've gotta love their signage. The coming soon duct taped over on the sloppily draped banner covering the old Lamole sign. No mention of now open or the like. The space looks completely unchanged from Lamole. I wonder if it is new owners or just a new concept.
re: Gabatta
If I can remember all the way back to this morning (it feels like FOREVER ago!), I think the "now open" was written (in lipstick? wax pen? marker?) across the front windows. About as classy as the sign. There are already 2 reviews on yelp for it so they must be up-and-running.
Bagelville is coming to Mass Ave in Arlington on the Lexington... I think it used to be a Panera? I don't know anything about the place but the website they give is bagelvilleonline.com and their other outpost seems to be Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Not exactly a ringing endorsement... any opinions on these bagels?
re: Chris VR
If it is the same place as Faneuil Hall, they're round bagel-shaped objects made out of perfectly fine bread, but no more bagels than anything else I've found in Boston. They're very large, as bagel go -- like 20% bigger than I think of as standard. As a Panera replacement, it's equivalent in quality and a step down in terms of variety, although with the larger space maybe they'll branch out.
re: Chris VR
Bring it on down to Bagelville....
re: winmeover
had a very good burger and friendly bar service there about 2 weeks ago. bright white space for the dining room and a separate entrance for take-out.
Five Horses Tavern is now open in the South End.
Soft opening was last night. Open for regular business today.
Menu looks quite similar to the menu online for their Somerville location -- a nice variety including many vegetarian options.
The pea diddy salad was a real stand-out -- a large salad with english peas, avocado, basil puree, mozzarella and greens.
I was happy to see a variety of affordable wine options, given the focus on beer.
They've flipped the layout relative to the old Columbus Cafe space. Large bar and bar seating on the left, tables on the right space. They had all the windows open to the outside last night and also outdoor seating.
Looks like a nice addition to the neighborhood.
It looks like Remick's in Quincy has closed. Windows papered over, etc. I guess I'm not surprised. I and a few of my friends tried it when it first opened and none of us liked it at all. We never went back. I didn't hear one person who had anything good to say about it.
It was a shame though, since they did such a nice job renovating the space and we were all hoping it would succeed.
re: catsmeow
Hope that's not a euphemism. They do a mean cheeseburger sub.
re: Jenny Ondioline
I had no idea about the Real Deal connection; the website says it's been a "family-owned establishment since 1995."
Is that about the time that this place got shut down by the DEA? I recall it being Brookine's chumpiest convenience store (I lived nearby at the time). Shelves were either half-empty or stocked with stuff with years-bygone expiration dates. Then it came out in the Tab that the owner had been dealing weed out of it for years, and I went, "Ahhh, now I get it."
A place with a mean cheeseburger sub is a fine upgrade, in my opinion. I only know the Real Deal by reputation, but that sounds about in their wheelhouse.
re: MC Slim JB
It's been essentially food only for a while. Good stuff. An under-rated lunch option, especially if you take it to one of the parks right around there - e.g., Linden Park, Linden Square, Pierce Park.
re: lergnom
I was just told by a Brookline Village restaurant person that the Spa actually closed due to back rent and other financial issues and that one of the brothers of the owner was trying to re-open it. It's a shame if true.
re: BarryP
That is terrible news, I eat there once a week for lunch and they put out such a consistently solid product. Really hope they can get things in order and re-open.
Local blogger BosGuy reports that Francesca's Cafe in the South End has closed.
re: MC Slim JB
Not taking cards was part of their demise
re: MC Slim JB
More alarming to me is the Eater Boston comment that says that Francesca's owner also owns the Delux Cafe and is selling it, too. That's a spot I would miss more.
re: MC Slim JB
What? That would be awful. Delux is like the last good dive bar (depending on how you classify Anchovies) that we've got left in the South End.
re: Spelunker
Ah, the old dive bar conundrum. The Delux, Wally's, Anchovies, The Eagle, and by broad neighborhood boundary definitions, Slade's are the last South End bars that predate the late 90's renovation / gentrification boom and are still relatively cheap, casual, and fun. Not sure any but Slade's would meet my dive bar standard: the rest are too safe.
J.J. Foley's and The Franklin got a bit fancier and pricier over time, but deserve a mention for longevity; Foley's still has the most diverse crowd in the neighborhood. Darryl's got a couple of swish makeovers from the Bob's days, ditto Coda after the Tim's era. The Red Fez got fancied up and has been terrible for years.
The late Waltham Tavern was probably the last real bucket o' blood: "Ladies Invited" sign, pool table, puck bowling, good jukebox, $2 Buds, a place that ran an illegal sports book and dealt coke and Oxy. Saw a few ugly scraps there between scary lowlifes. The neighborhood late-stagers would line up for the 10am first call.
The Mob guy who owned it was elderly yet still a frightening badass, ran his businesses from his social club up the block (now the Wholly Grain) before the DEA finally put him away for good. He died in Cedar Junction at the age of 84. The building is luxury condos now. Peter King lived in one for a while.
Not much left. I'll be sorry to see The Delux go.
re: MC Slim JB
Yeah, I shuddered a bit to use the 'd' word, but it was useful shorthand. Anchovies is always a bit more restaurant-y, and I primarily think of Wally's as a music joint. Slade's I always forget about, but I would consider that Roxbury anyway (not that's a bad thing: I'm a big Darryl's fan).
Two things are in short supply in the South End: casual cheap bars and late-night takeout. Delux is always one of my go-tos for the former, and it would be the biggest loss since The Other Side from my standpoint.
re: MC Slim JB
What? No! I'll be very disappointed to see that place go.
I will report back after I drive by, but two new places in Wollaston Center in Quincy, around the old movie theater. One is 'The China' and another, I forget the name. Both are Asian fare, shockingly.
re: sjculwell
The work on the place has been pretty slow. My assumption has been that they're related to the one in Malden but don't know that for sure
Apparently Bertucci's in Harvard Square is cleaned out and closed up. Not that we ever actually ate there but it will be mourned for its convenient at least weekly supply of pizza dough for homemade pizzas.
re: zigzag
whole foods has ok pizza dough
re: zigzag
That's interesting. It usually did bangup business, not that I ever ate there. Their bread rolls were good, though. Any more details?
re: Uncle Yabai
The landlord wants something less chain-y there.
re: FinnFPM
re: Gabatta
that seems beyond belief.
re: FinnFPM
Well, that would be swimming against the current in Harvard Square these days. An unusual, but positive development.
To their credit, that Bertucci's was there for centuries, back to when the place wasn't as "chainy". It was one of the earlier locations, together with the Kendall Square one, after the original in Somerville, next to the Steve's (same owner by this point). Remember "Bertucci's Pizza and Bocce"? The bocce court went by the wayside pretty quick when Joey realized he could get more revenue per square foot by putting tables in that space instead.
I have a friend who used to live around the corner from the Steve's-Bertucci's building, and in its heyday that place was something special. Huge lines at both places, though. But we digress into Chows past and Chows no more, something frowned around these parts for some reason.
re: Uncle Yabai
Hey, nobody's googling for restaurants that no longer exist. These Capital One 360 ads aren't going to view themselves.
re: FinnFPM
psssssst... install adblock, my friend.
re: FinnFPM
Given what is presumably a high rent for the space, will it just be something more restaurant group-y instead?
re: zigzag
According to a sign Felipe's Taqueria will be moving into the old Bertucci's space from their current location in The Garage. I haven't been there much lately (frequenting Beantown Taqueria more), however have always found them to be one of the better Taqueria's in the area.
re: Gabatta
re: Gabatta
I've always found Felipe's to be a good, cheap, taco fallback in the area and really enjoy the condiment bar. It will be interesting to see if they do anything with more space.
re: Klunco
Isn't the former Bertucci's right next to Flat Patties? If so, since the same dude own both, I imagine the plan is to expand Flat Patties into that space and put in Felipe's in the rest of it.
re: Jenny Ondioline
The spaces are not immediately adjacent. Brattle Florist is immediately adjacent to Flat Patties, and there are a few other places (including Crema) in between as well.
There's another thread on this, but for anyone who missed it, Sushi Island in Wakefield is closing this Sunday. More info here http://wakefield.patch.com/groups/bus... but it seems they are looking to reopen something, somewhere. And a new place is going to open in the same location, called Sakura Organic.
re: Boston_Otter
Another Indian restaurant? Huh...market seems pretty saturated to me.
The Davis Square outlet of Snappy Sushi has reopened as Snappy Ramen. (Oddly enough, this was the idea I had suggested for another of the Snappy folks' restaurants, Yakitori Zai.) Eater has the menu: http://boston.eater.com/archives/2013...
Yume Wo Katare's summer hiatus ends August 30.
Shanghai Social Club in Allston is now officially open.
re: MC Slim JB
Speaking of Yakitori Zai, have you heard any updates on that one? They were going to reopen on August 1st with a new menu, but that hasn't happened yet, as far as I know.
re: blumiethekoala
I walked by last night: still closed, and the windows now papered over.
re: MC Slim JB
Eater is reporting that the closure of Yakitori Zai now appears permanent, in part allegedly due to neighbors' complaints about the ventilation. Myself, I doubt that claim, as I am on that block often and have never smelled any smoke from its grills. They spent quite a bit of money up front to obviate that problem.
The more sensible explanation to me is that they were simply way overpriced for the concept. A lot of people went once, liked the food, but blanched at the tab and never went back. The place was always nearly empty on weeknights, only seemed to get close to full on weekends for dinner and its ramen brunch.
re: blumiethekoala
An industry source confirms: the Yakitori Zai space is officially for sale. Put that one in the "permanently closed" column.
re: MC Slim JB
I'll miss the Newbury Fashion Roll and their lunchtime roll specials :/
re: MC Slim JB
I tried the tonkotsu ramen at Snappy Ramen. I first thought the broth was too mild but it got better with each sip; I finished the whole bowl of soup which I haven't done in a long time with ramen. Decent noodles. Lots of green onions / leeks which I personally like. Plus mushrooms and toasted garlic. The 2 pork slices were very promising - good thickness and mix of lean and fatty - but sadly wasn't cooked so well and some bits were rubbery. If they can improve on cooking it then it'd be the best chashu compared to Sapporo and Inaka.
Waitress said they're not sure yet if it'll be called Snappy Ramen or Snappy Sushi. Also, no gyoza which bums me out. Couple of diff Sapporo and 3 diff Kirin.
re: lossless
The waitress when I went in said that all the changes were sort of sudden and they were still figuring things out; she said they'd kept a few of their old specialty rolls but were considering whether to add more or to add nigiri as well. I'm actually sort of surprised that they removed all of the hot entrees from their menu (tonkatsu, takoyaki, etc) that seemed to be really popular.
re: random amblings
The voicemail for 28 Degrees says they are closed through the Labor Day holiday(?)
re: hiddenboston
Thats what they posted on their front door. Just a white sheet of paper saying Closed Through Labor Day
re: meeps2002
I just sent a message to the owner of 28 Degrees to see what's going on. I'll let you know as soon as I hear.
i know, i know, but strega prime is open.
don't know if this is in here already, but the charlestown whole foods is open. went in mid-day yesterday and it was VERY busy. their super-clean no antibiotics rotisserie chickens were on-sale, however, it was one of the more disgusting versions of this thing i have ever had. most of it went in the trash. was on-sale 2 for $10. am so glad i just bought one.
oh! and grapefruit juice was $3.99 a quart. am so glad this chain is expanding. :0
re: Aromatherapy
Not new now either, but the pleasant patio is out front again. Much better.
re: galangatron
Seriously? Why would they do something so idiotic?
re: Jenny Ondioline
My conversations with the owner many months ago indicated his growing preference for more healthful cooking (at that time he said he was not deep-frying anymore) with a focus on more vegetarian dishes. However, I am still surprised by this recent decision.
re: blumiethekoala
Nope - YoMa has remained the only Burmese restaurant in Boston, and was originally met with much excitement by those of us who had long mourned the loss of Mandalay.
An all vegetarian menu is a bit of a disappointment, but the news that they've dropped many of the classic Burmese dishes (and apparently dumbed down the few that remain to an unacceptable degree - see Taralli's post below) is much more of an issue.
re: galangatron
A revisit to the ginger salad of yore was a disappointment. The old salad had tons of julienned ginger, giving it a hot gingery bite. Saturday's version was hard to even taste it. The tea salad also paled.
re: Taralli
Damn, I'll miss their shrimp and pumpkin curry.
re: galangatron
The only non-vegetarian or non-vegan dish left on YoMa's menu is the shrimp dumplings. There's some dairy in the desserts and a few other dishes.
I know it's not the same thing, but there are echoes of Burmese cuisine in the Chiang Mai dishes on Thai North's specials menu, including kao soi.
re: MC Slim JB
I'm vegetarian (excepting what I consider unique or exceptional meat dishes). I have tried the Burmese Curry at Thai North, and it is my favorite pork belly dish in Boston. So I echo MC's reminder of an echo of Burmese at Thai North.
re: meeps2002
The Noche space is going to become Blind Tiger (same ownership) - possibly opening in October or November, or so they say. Someone's giving me details on the Sibling Rivalry space in a week or so - I'll post when I know something.
Clay Pot Cafe has opened in the old King Fung space in Chinatown. Taishan specialities and 14 different clay pot rice dishes as well as hot pot. I'll try it perhaps later this week.
606 Congress has closed, per Eater through BostonChefs.
I supposed I'm not surprised - I'd eaten there at least four times in the last six months and never saw more than three other tables full at any point. But I don't get it _why._ The location was a hot district, it's an easy drive, tables were easy to get, and the food was skillfully prepared by a staff who cared (see previous post http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/902237). My read was that they were using their $50,000 HACCP Sous Vide license to _finally_ start the hotel-cooking sous-vide revolution (i.e. properly cooked steak even on the night shift).
I couldn't fall in love with the place, but I am disappointed.
re: enhF94
I suspect why: it used a non-descript name for a hotel that is not well known by locals. So it lacked a strong brand association on which local business could be built. People weren't really aware it was there to be found.
re: Karl S
The name of the place to replace it - MC Medici - is not much better.
re: Bob Dobalina
Remember when Michael Schlow was calling 606 one of "his" restaurants? Me, neither.
re: enhF94
schlow was consulting chef when it first opened, but i've never heard anything more than meh about the food. the bar/lounge area of that hotel is often mobbed during events and conventions, yet 606 would have tumbleweeds blowing through. the room's design also felt soul-less.
i don't think any of the hotel restaurants down there have branded themselves effectively in order to draw anybody other than their captive audiences. hopefully some of the smaller properties being built will offer more creative hotel dining, a la clio and icob.
re: hotoynoodle
I always thought of 606 as one of those generic hotel-lobby restaurants that are intended as an amenity for guests, not a dining destination. My understanding is that at such places, the hotel does zero to attract outside patrons because they don't want it ever to be more than 30% full, lest a guest be inconvenienced when they want to dine.
Schlow crowed about his involvement till the reviews came out, then it disappeared from his website. He missed one mention, though: http://www.michaelschlow.com/boston.html
re: MC Slim JB
i understand hotels make all their f&b $$$$ on events,but it never feels welcoming to walk into an empty dining room. tamo is much smaller, but always jammed at breakfast, while 606 never was. bad feng shui maybe?

PLEASANT HILL, Calif. (AP) - Pleasant Hill police have arrested a woman whose dog died after she allegedly left it inside a locked car in triple-digit heat.
The Contra Costa Times (http://bit.ly/11420uA) reports that 38-year-old Angela Kleinfeld was taken into custody around 4 p.m. Friday at a parking structure in downtown Pleasant Hill. She was being held on suspicion of cruelty to animals resulting in death.
Police say officers responding to calls about a dog in distress found the boxer locked inside the vehicle without enough ventilation. An officer forced his way into the car and took the dog to a nearby veterinary hospital, but it died.
Officials are warning pet owners and parents that sweltering temperatures can be fatal for animals and children left inside vehicles.

Baked Marinated Lamb Chops
Posted: Updated:
Baked Marinated Lamb Chops
Provided by: TASTE
total prep
Full of flavor with a robust marinade, this recipe provides a blissfully easy way of dealing with chops.
- 8 12 lean lamb-rib chops
- bay leaves, fresh if possible
- potato wedges, roasted, for serving
- mixed green salad, for serving
- For the marinade, mix together the following:
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed chilies
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/2 cup dry red wine
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Preheat the oven to 450 F.
- Trim any excess fat from the chops, then arrange in a single row in a baking dish and pour over the marinade. Tuck a bay leaf under each chop and bake for 10 minutes, or until nicely browned and tender. Serve with potatoes and salad.
- Cook's note: A scattering of rosemary adds nice flavor to this dish and chicken pieces are a good substitute for lamb -- just increase your baking time to about half an hour.
- Leftovers? Cook leftover chops with rice, crushed tomatoes, cut corn and stock for a meal-in-one pot.

Handy tech to have during an emergency
Summary: Over the years I've learned that having some well-designed kit close to hand can make all the difference during an emergency (small or large). Here's a look at some of the tech-related kit that I've found most useful over the years.
11 of 12Image
Waterproof bags
If you live somewhere that's prone to flooding then having a waterproof bag for your gear might be a good idea. If bad weather is on the way, pop your precious gear inside a dry bag for safety.
I've used an Ortlieb dry bags to keep delicate electronics dry in some of the worst weather conditions and they've never failed me.
(Image: Ortlieb)
If your power needs go beyond what a solar charger can offer then you need to think bigger. If you have the space then a gasoline generator is idea, but you have to run this sort of thing outdoors because they are smelly and a fire hazard.
An alternative is a 12V inverter that you can run from your car battery to provide household power to run a range of devices. One of the best inverters out there is the Cobra CPI 2575 which can push out a whopping 2500W and is kitted out with a raft of safety features.
(Image: Cobra)
There's no point having all the kit if you don't know how to use it. I've seen people superglue their hand to their face, struggle for ages trying to start a gasoline generator that didn't have any gas in it, slice their hand open with a screwdriver, and set to work reading instructions while a storm approaches.
Don't be those people! Learn to you're your kit in in comfort, when the lights are on and you have a favorite beverage close to hand. That way, using your kit will become second nature and you won't have to learn how to use it when you're cold, in the dark, or the floodwaters are rising.
Don't, whatever you do, just pack this stuff into a box or store it in the garage and not look at it until you need it! Use it. Practive your skills.

A "Star Wars" laser bullet
- this is what it really looks like
Action-packed science-fiction movies often feature colourful laser bolts. But what would a real laser missile look like during flight, if we could only make it out? How would it illuminate its surroundings? The answers lie in a film made at the Laser Centre of the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences in cooperation with the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw.

Dutch chemist Dr Evan Spruijt won this year's Dream Chemistry Award. The members of the Award's Scientific Committee have in this way expressed their appreciation for a visionary project of creating artificial cells - microdroplets of water capable of autonomous growth and division. Creation of such cells in the laboratory would be an important step towards a deep understanding of physical and chemical foundations of life.

Scientists become closer: Young chemists from Warsaw and Cambridge tighten cooperation
On the map, Warsaw and Cambridge remain at the same distance. In chemistry, however, both research centres are getting closer and closer - due to another edition of the Cambridge-Warsaw Young Scientists Meeting "Breaking Boundaries in Chemistry".
Scientific communities of young chemists from Warsaw and Cambridge had an opportunity again to widen their knowledge, tightening cooperation and enhancing personal ties. The historical walls of the Cambridge University hosted the two-day 2nd Cambridge-Warsaw Young Scientists Meeting "Breaking Boundaries in Chemistry". The meeting addressed numerous topics from nanotechnology to state-of-the-art polymer, organic and inorganic chemistry.

Gone but never forgotten. Not an addict, not anything bad. Like Michael said many times. He really believed in "garbage in-garbage out" and If you look at this picture and the movie, there was NO garbage.
this photo was his this is it concert which didn't happen.....
still got it....doesn't look like an addict to me!! Don't believe the media is what MJ always said.
He was truly amazing, like no other. I blame the live-in doctor, obviously inexpericened...should have rushed MJ to the hospital the night before.
Same again
How did you get this photo.
I do not understand the reports that he was linked up to a IV to sleep. If so how could anyone be that physical with out bleeding or sore? any comments anyone on that.
This was it.........THE KING IS ALIVE

Sony: all new PS3 titles will require PSN Pass for online play
Sony has officially extended its tax on gamers who buy secondhand PlayStation titles, confirming that all future Sony games with network functionality will be mediated through an online pass system. The company told Destructoid that the PSN Pass system will be incorporated into all upcoming Sony Computer Entertainment PS3 games …
And what happens if your PS3 dies ?
Madness... and will backfire on Sony mark my words. What happens when I buy a new PS3 or I want to take the game into the office where I have a second PS3 ?
And they wonder why people pirate games and try to get round them.
Same as always
You download off your download list in Playstation Store.
Another good reason not to get a PS3
Yet another attempt by Sony to screw its customers.
Alternatives no better
Xbox owners have a similar system and also have to pay for Live.
Nintendos online - sorry it is useless and a nightmare to use.
PCs not sure, haven't played any online multiplayer on them, nor traded.
The money would be going back to PS and used for the multiplayer servers.
And what?
Pay for Xbox Live?
Have a joke for online with the Wii?
PC only?
There's basically no resale value on PC games - for all intents and purposes, once you've bought a PC game you can never resell it; the consoles have traditionally relied on "untweakable" hardware and physical disks as copy protection - on the PC it's been the wild west since, well, before there were IBM compatible PCs (think every generation of "personal computer" since the Beeb).
Circumventing copy-protection systems on the PC has been there since the get go so the protection systems have been getting more and more shirty forever (Starforce comes to mind - sack of cak that was).
So, the advantages of PC gaming are that the games cost less in the first place and (MMOs excepted) there's no additional fee to play online - some are even "free to buy", like Team Fortress 2 and rely on micro-transactions after the fact to fund the game (moar hatz).
The downside is that there's no resale market for PC games.
All new Sony published PS3 games
You haven't made that particularly clear.
Was looking forward to Uncharted 3, guess I won't be buying it now. As far as I am aware, the second hand market is not illegal and sony have no right in restricting the functionality of their products based on whether the user is the original purchaser or not.
Your loss
Quite likely to be one of the best games this year, I will be buying on release.
As to second hand, yes you can use it all you like on single player.
As to rights - I work in software developement and the transfer rights on a lot is a lot stricter than that of a game.
You seriously wouldn't buy Uncharted 3 because someone that isn't you would have to buy multiplayer access if you sold it on?
No, the second hand market is abused by the likes of Game, CEX and HMV to make profits without those pesky publishers getting any more money than that original sale. This move isn't banning the second hand market, it's simply upping the cost of second hand titles... or, potentially, dropping the price you pay at the shop since demand for them will be lower as the cheapskates balk at the extra costs. Which I never understood anyway since the price of recently released second hand games tend to be close to the price of a brand new title anyway and the packrat in me won't sell titles back for store credit.
This is only affecting online multi-play... which isn't so big a deal since single or local multiplayer will still work. Besides, console gamers can't provide their own private servers and have to use the platform holders middleman software and public servers and once those are closed down, online multiplaying of those titles will go with them.
The key thing is ensuring the publisher gets a slice of the pie so they can keep paying studios to pump out titles.
They do have the right to restrict access to their gaming network however they see fit :o/
Good news for me!
This means that the second hand prices will plummet. Excellent news for me as I have no interest in multiplayer will be able to get the single player campaign for next to nothing.
Except at Game
More than new and was there an online pass?
Funny really the last S/H PS3 game I bought was the first game in the series which had the first online pass.
£10 for a launch game - was entertaining and more fun than its sequel. Part 3 though - that is good as well.
I don't blame them
When you look at the gouging Game and co do on second hand games, it seems a little unfair that the developers are not getting a cut. I saw R3 second hand for £4 more at a high street shop (HMV or Game) than I paid at a supermarket day after release.
If I paid a decent amount S/H eg £15 I would not begrudge paying this, provided it is not a lot (around £5 I suppose).
That said I do tend to buy new and keep, only selling games which are really poor.
I went to a lot of effort to obtain the US only Uncharted 3 demo, as before this will not effect me.
The online pass is per PS3 and can be redownloaded per account so if you lose your PS3 or have more than 1 you can reuse it.
lol, wonder what this does re rentals from say lovefilm lol
Anyway give up on the consoles and get Onlive on your PC instead. Most new games aren't worth more than a couple of hours game play anyway. *Goes back to working and muttering until home time so as to play more nuclear dawn and buildcraft.*
Hahahaa Sony ... twunt
Was going to buy my kid a PS3 ... not anymore!!!!
Denying them the Sackboy
That is child cruelty.
(Parent with 3 LBP loving children)
Yeah, buy them a 360 instead, where you'll run into the same problem. Or you could buy them a Wii, which barely has an online presence to speak of.
Alternatives have no Sackboys
That is a huge reason to get a PS3 for children LBP series is possibly one of the best games around for 8 to 13 year olds.
I did a survey among two young gamers about their favourite game and LBP came top - even over Super Mario Galaxy.
Despite all the Sony bashing...
....this has been going on for quite some time, and it isn't a Sony invention. I've got a PS3 and an a Xbox 360 and I've run into far more games that use an online pass system on the Xbox 360 than I have for the PS3.
Was for DLC content not online multiplay though.
Doesn't this just promote piracy?
I mean, if you're a pirate you can't normally play games on the net because of some version difference or because your console is detected as being modchipped etc.
So, think of it from some young kid who occasionally buys a game new but buys a lot of his games used. All of a sudden he can't play most of his games online. (yes, I know this isn't retroactive to old used games, just spitballing here)
He looks at the pirate option as a lot more enticing, after all if his legally purchased games give him the exact same experience as a pirates then why not just pirate? After all it costs less and he's not going to lose any functionality.
Optional Title
@Robert Long 1
Yeah - exactly.... becuase Vauxhall, Ford, Volvo and others all get a cut when you sell your car to someone else ... Oh wait, that's wrong isn't it
Let me try that again, Barrat's, Wimpy, Cala homes etc all get a cut when you sell your house ... nah, that's wrong too.
One last try, Nikon, Canon, Panasonic, Sony etc all get a cut from the 2nd hand camera market ... nope - still not working.
Same as before
These items are not using any infrastructure from the builders/manufactures, but in fact require spares and supplies.
I am the third owner of my car and I still buy parts from the dealer (with a trade club card).
You buy parts from the dealer?
You made of money?
Dealer - yes I do
It is cheaper and the bits last longer.
Cam cover gaskets - all non genuine leak - genuine don't.
Under £40 for 40 litres of semi synthetic oil of a decent brand. (Fuchs I think).
Good for Sony
Personally I'm really sick of the second hand game market. Just a couple of days ago I brought a nice fresh copy of Gears 3 in game for 39.99 only for the spotty oik to tell me I could have a second hand one for 37.99.
The thing is, I'd rather most of the money went to the company who made the game so maybe they might invest some of it in making something else I'd like to play, rather than going into the pocket of a money grabbing leech of an organization.
See my post about Resistance 3
£38 S/H £34 new
Game are a bunch of thieving gits when it comes to second hand game prices.
Oh and no midnight opening for Uncharted 3, as I said to them "So might as well get it from Tescos or Sainsburies".
What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with that exactly? It's not like Game will have stolen the second hand copy back is it? As others have said, if you buy a car and sell it on, the dealership doesn't get a cut. However if you give it back to the dealer - new but registered - they can't sell it as new anymore, they have to absorb a hit on their profits for the sale. If you sell it back to the dealer - used but practically new - they'll make a bit more as they charge you for the use you've had, and then sell it for a little less than a brand new one. This is exactly what Game do, and they're within their rights to do it.
As for the publishers deserving an extra something back, their part of the bargain is to provide an online space for each copy of the game, for as long as there is decent support for it. If the original owner sells their copy, they can't play anymore, and so the online space for that game transfers to the new owner. It's still one space, per game, and still the same number of games in circulation.
Frankly I'll stop buying stuff for either of my PS3s, plenty of content is impossible to copy between systems, even if you 'officially' redownload it from the PSN store. While xbox might be doing the same thing for certain games, its not policy yet so until it is, they will get my gaming dollars.
So don't buy second hand from game then - there are plenty other second hand game retailers.
To Jed
Game price gouge - just ignore them
Actually there will be multiple profiles, they are not deleted when the game is sold on, this does need storage.
As to S/H cheap off Ebay - why worry about the pass?
S/H from Game - aghhh!
Dollars - the UK market is a bit different to the US
Stupid and short-sighted
Currently, you can buy a brand new game, play it, get bored of it, part-ex it for a shiny new game, rinse and repeat.
Under Sony's brave new world, you buy a new game, play it, get bored of it, it has no residual value so you throw it away, you don't part-ex for a new game and Sony lose a sale. They don't make an additional sale to the second hand gamer and they miss the opportunity to sell downloadable content to two customers.
What Sony fail to realise is that the second hand games market is actually good for them.
I for one see an upside
It will stop all of the PS3 fanboy gloating about their "free" PSN.
Happens on Xbox as well
And we only use free PSN when provoked.
I can't really see a problem with this. It happens all the time with PC games that are bought second hand. Some require you to register the keys, and if thats done nobody else can play the game online even with a valid key because its already registered to somebody else. It was bound to happen sooner or later.
good. hopefully this will kill the 2nd hand games market. The prices are stupidly high for a 2nd hand product.
Only from Game ect
Not elsewhere - got Resistance Fall of Man £10 from Ebay, R2 was £12 from Argos.
Bargains are where you want to look.
Older games & multiplayer, are people still playing?
I see theres a lot of people commenting here who actually have no idea what they are talking about.
First off, the online pass is linked to your psn account, not your console, so if you buy a new console, you can simply log into your old account and download the pass again at no extra charge.
And secondly this is done to try and get some revenue back off there games as games companys are losing a lot of money off second hand sales, if you want someone to blame for this it's shops like blockbuster.
The fact that this system is slowly working it's way onto 360 titles is worrying though, i mean your paying for the online features pretty much in advance. It's understandable from sonys stance, microsoft seem to be using it as a platform to make themselves more filty rich though.
In respect of second hand games, There has to be a reasonable price difference for me to consider a used item, £2 wouldn't cut it and in the past the spotty oik in Game has been =told they are having a tin bath.
I guess when the sales drop Fony will be screaming about piracy being the cause rather than the removal of the legitimate right to sell on property that you have paid for. Another reason the Fony products DONT get any consideration in this household. In light of their repeated attacks on our fair and legitimate use, we vote with our wallets, others should do likewise - nothing focuses a group of shareholders like falling sales figures.
and another reason
Not to buy a PS3 no matter how
Nothing new surely.
Multi Play DVD's which have a digital copy for your portable device have a one time code. Get one of these second hand, you have to hope that the person selling it hasn't already got his digital copy, because if he has, you don't get yours.
Don't have an issue with this, running and hosting an online service costs the publisher money. Currently buyers of second hand copies of games are enjoying that service at no cost, this is not a great business model for the developer. If you accept that the second hand game market is here to stay then moves like this are inevitable, the purchaser of a used game can obviously enjoy the offline experience and then has the choice of paying for online if they wish.
Next Step
First they bring out DLC (means they don't have to finish making the game before they can sell it - plus it's a great way to charge for bug fixes). And of course DLC ain't transferable so if you sell on your game it's useless to you and the buyer has to buy it too.
Now they nobble their online play. It's Sony for now but they'll all do it.
How long before they start scamming us with "activation fees" or some other BS way to destroy the second hand market even more?
That's how the PC gaming market (with the odd exception like Egosoft) has worked for years... now that consoles are basically PCs (they have HDDs and connect to the internet) it's not entirely surprising that the consoles are coming in-line with the PC world of DRM.
There IS no second-hand market for PC games ... expect no different for consoles in the long run (though will they bring the price of console games down in-line with PC games - I doubt it).
Re Next Step
Bug fixes MAY be in DLC but I have never paid for a bug fix. Only paid for DLC I have seen are as follows.
Multiplayer maps
Multiplayer skins
LBP costumes
Most bug fixes come automatically and always free
I am ignoring XMB backgrounds and your piccy as they are not in game.
Playstation are imposing this online pass system to all their published games.
Microsoft do not include online passes to their games. E.G Gears of War 3 recently released without a pass required.
People need to stop making out like they are being "double taxed" by Microsoft because of live + these passes, it is NOT microsoft who make you buy an online pass for certain games it's the publishers, EA are a prime example with their FIFA games.
To my knowledge no microsoft game requires an online pass to play.
AFAIK Sony published, not others.
Will MS do it?
That I do not know.
You're missing the point
XBox Live Subscription *is* the Pass.
See how many games you can play online without XBL. AFAIK none.
To add injury to insult almost all on-line multi-user games are hosted on your own XBox along with the cost of bandwidth to support the game. So MS do not even provide dedicated servers (except for GOW3).
MS offer a glorified matchmaking service and charge you a premium for the service. There is no alternative so no competition.
To make things worse XBL is user based not machine based.
So if four of your kids want to play (say) SF4 online then four separate live accounts need to be paid for.
Even though they can only play one at a time so there is no extra cost network or hardware wise.Even the Family pack is a mockery. XBL should be machine based.
e.g. 1 user x 1 hour per day : Cost $60 per year.
2 users x 30 minutes per day = 1 hour : Cost $120 per year.
Why the price differential given the same usage?
As for this ridiculous myth of covering the cost of Hosting that's a decision MS made. They could have easily allowed a PC Server model such as Quake/Unreal/HL Servers being hosted by whomever desired it when they desired it. Alternatively if the games are peer-hosted then a Server is not even necessary.
As a monopoly they can charge what they like on their own terms.
All this means is that second hand prices will have to drop by the cost of the online pass?

Wal-Mart said Monday it was replacing the head of its operations in China, the giant U.S. retailer's latest setback in the country after employees were arrested and detained last week in the western city of Chongqing in connection with a labeling scandal.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is replacing the head of its operations in China, the latest setback for the U.S. retailer in one its most important foreign markets.
Reuters - Two executives of Wal-Mart Stores Inc's China operation, including its head, have resigned for personal reasons, the company said on Monday, the latest setback for the world's largest retailer in China where it has faced store closures and employee detentions.
Greg Foran, who takes charge of Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s U.S. division on Aug. 9, inherits a chain wedded to an outdated big-box model, struggling to increase sales in its stores and online, and losing customers because it can't keep stores adequately stocked. The sluggish U.S. performance contributed to lower-than-projected sales and profit in the quarter that ended April 30. Wal-Mart's profit forecast for the current quarter also came in lower than analysts' estimates.
The world's biggest retailer is stumbling. Its genial new boss needs to prove he can push through hard changes
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - PayPal is extending its reach to more physical stores, having signed up 50 merchant acquirers which help process payments but the
More than 1,000 e-mailed complaints signal that Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s restocking challenges are more widespread than the world's largest retailer has said.
Margaret Hancock has long considered the local Wal-Mart Stores Inc. superstore her one-stop shopping destination. No longer.
During recent visits, the retired accountant from Newark, Delaware, says she failed to find more than a dozen basic items, including certain types of face cream, cold medicine, bandages, mouthwash, hangers, lamps and fabrics.
The cosmetics section "looked like someone raided it," said Hancock, 63.
We are not talking about a couple of empty shelves. This is throughout the store in every store. Some places look like they're going out of business
Wal-Mart Stores Inc, already struggling to woo shoppers constrained by higher taxes, is "getting worse" at keeping shelves stocked, the retailer's U.S. chief told executives, according to minutes of an officers' meeting obtained by Bloomberg News.

I'm going to be making it/them from scratch!
How many times have I said that I'm not going to be buying this or that, but I'm going to be making it from scratch from now on. This time it's CRACKERS!
Let's see:
Lasagna - instead of Costco's lasagna in a pan.
Spaghetti sauce in a jar
Mexican sauce
Bread - all kinds
Even though I've whined re previously over store-bought crackers, I hope that today will be the last package I ever open. Of course, it will probably not be the last, but I'm sure hoping it will be.
Are there any boxed/packaged items that you are thinking about giving up and it is really hard to do? No, I'm not giving up ready-made sausage!
I'm with you on the crackers! I made a few kinds many years ago and they were amazing. Fast forward many years and I keep vowing to make them again.
I've never had store-bought lasagne. I've wanted to try making spanaokopita.
I ALWAYS make my own Italian and breakfast sausages - it's quick, easy, and FAR superior to anything I can buy around here.
re: sandylc
We split Sandylc's sausage recipes off to a new thread on the Home cooking board. You can find it here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/807305
Never have bought frozen dinners such as lasagne. Make my lasagne noodles from scratch. I cook pretty much everything in the house from scratch except for Worcestershire, Umami paste, Sriracha, fish sauce and a few canned veg (i.e. corn) including spice rubs/blends, ketchups, salsas, jams, jellies, vanilla, mustards, tomato paste, breads, sausage, crackers, etc. As I have celiac I no longer make phyllo or puff pastry. :-(
Frozen pizza. We used to always make sure we had a frozen cheese pizza in the freezer, so that we could doctor it up with our favourite toppings on nights when nobody felt like cooking. Then I learned how to make pizza dough, and now we always make sure to have a few blobs of dough in the freezer. As a matter of fact, that's what we're having for dinner tonight.
re: BananaBirkLarsen
I'd like to control myself enough to be able to 'keep' some blobs in the freezer. They always get eaten before I get the next batch in. I'm going to have to work on this.
re: BananaBirkLarsen
I do the frozen pizza thing too. Digiorno cheese stuffed crust with Pepperoni, then add other toppings to it. I keep saying I am going to make my own, but haven't got there yet. If you have a really good dough recipe you are willing to share, maybe I can break the habit.
re: THoey1963
I use this Peter Reinhart recipe (http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/...) and always bake the pizza on parchment paper, directly on the oven rack, because I don't have a baking stone and it doesn't get enough heat in a pan. There are some conflicting opinions regarding the use of parchment paper, however (The discussion can be found here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/804025).
Homemade crackers are wonderful, and hit all three sweet spots - they're cheap, easy, and taste better than storebought. I find that 1/2 wheat flour to 1/2 other flours or ground grains gives an easily workable dough, and add a little bit of oil and whatever seasonings I want. Ground oats work really well, and ground sesame seeds make a lovely addition.
Granola is wonderful from scratch, and again is easy, an order of magnitude better than even the expensive gourmet stuff, and cheap.
I like making my own stocks, but limited freezer space makes it hard to keep up with the demand, as we have soup a couple of times a week, plus other uses. And home-made stock for cold soups is trickier, as you need to make it from tendon and bone free ingredients. So I still keep canned chicken stock on hand.
I bought a jar of spaghetti sauce once shortly after moving out on my own, and never again.
I make bread some times and buy others - I don't have a full sized oven, and the timing for the bread-maker is a bit tricky on weeknights, as it takes three hours to run, and then needs to be cooled. I don't use the timer due to the climate, and bread has to be stored properly to keep out insects. Plus there are types of bread that are hard to do at home.
Sausages - If I had a big freezer, more kitchen space, and a place to put a smoker, I suspect that I'd get really into sausage making. As it is, I tend to do things like breakfast sausage and Iot-Italian myself by necessity, as I can't buy them in grocery stores.
We make dumplings at home, wonton, gyoza and boiled. We do buy the wrappers, because we can easily find cheap, fresh, made earlier that morning wrappers at the market, and it's way less effort.
i can tell you a few things that i always make from scratch now...
enchilada sauce
dog biscuits
artisan bread
pasta sauce - not because i have a righteous attitude about jarred; i just enjoy making it
baked goods - see pasta sauce
things i have made and seldom do now:
noodles - don't have a rolling machine or KA attachment and after hand-rolling out to feed eight, it lost its appeal
phyllo dough
Another cracker-maker! I think there was a thread about this a few months ago and I felt so inspired to try making my own, but never did. As I type this, I am snacking on Lavash rosemary flatbread chips...one of my favorite snacks is crackers with cheese, dip, pretty much anything.
Is it hard to roll out the dough to be thin enough? That is what has intimidated me so far. I hate, hate, hate rolling out pie crust, cookie dough, lefse dough (my current project), etc. So the idea of rolling out cracker dough is just seems like more trouble than it's worth.
In our house, good croutons are a favorite as well. For soups, salads, and snacking. I now make them regularly and always have a good supply on hand for the family. I will never buy croutons again.
I rarely buy bbq sauce or sweet/sour sauce anymore...easy and cheap to make and I can tweak the ingredients and heat level to suit the specific item I'm serving. Same thing with spaghetti sauce.
re: jlhinwa
Yes, the dough is difficult to get thin enough even for my 'strong' husband who does the rolling. We have been disappointed with our cracker making due to this problem. I have a multitude of rolling pins, but generally use a silicone one (I have a big one and a little one) so that it doesn't stick.
I have just got on a kick to make pie crust and made an apple pie dough last week. It was rolled thin enough (I think), but didn't get crispy on the bottom. This is the reason when I have bought apple pie in a restaurant that I scoop out the filling and just eat the top. It seems I must have eaten apple pie at least once in my lifetime that the bottom crust was perfect, but I can't recall when.
I don't make croutons, but when I make bread, I cut off the ends and cut them in pieces for soup. Sometimes I believe I'm queen of soup because my soup always tastes good to me and DH. I always recall an instructive art show decades ago where the woman ended the show with "Now, I'm going to go make soup."

I agree about the bottom crust on a pie. My ideal is my grandmother's pies - they were brown and crisp on the bottom. I have tried all sorts of pans (glass, ceramic, stainless steel, non-stick, light, heavy, dark, pale, etc.) and my best result surprisingly comes from disposable aluminum pie pans. That said, I keep meaning to try grandma's method: Bake your "pie" in a 9" x 13" Pyrex pan at 500 degrees or so. She was renowned for these "pies" and they were delicious -!?!?!?!
Oh, and she and my mother neither one have EVER used chilled water or chilled fat for their crusts!

Thanks for the suggestions. When I am done with the lefse project (Saturday..do or die!), I will have to give crackers a try.
I conquered my lefse challenge, I think. (Don't want to jinx it by being over-confident!). Lefse is basically a Norwegian tortilla--the type I am making uses potatoes, flour, cream, and butter. I was having a horrible time getting the dough rolled out thin enough and used my mom's old rolling pin, a lefse-making rolling pin, a lefse stick, all with results that did not please me.
I finally scrapped the rolling pins and started pounding the dough thin by hand. Tada...it worked. Basically I floured, pounded, flipped, and then repeated until I got the desired thinness. It is very painstaking, but I am happy with the result. Now that I have gotten somewhere with this project, I just may be able to handle crackers without pulling out my hair!

Mr Pine--a very well educated & well rounded man--actually thought marshmellows were a vegetable (and he has an advanced degree in plant pathology). Granted, he wasn't raised in the West, so had never encountered a marshmellow prior to about age 30, but sheesh!

Homemade marshmallows are far superior to bought - don't remember the last time I actually bought them! You can do various flavours, too.
Tamales. Fell in love them as a kid in the city where many of my neighbors were from Mexico. Now I can only get frozen or worse yet, canned in my part of the country. Nearest Mexican family/restaurant is about 200 miles away. Always thought there was some mystery as to what went in them and prep.
Couple of weeks ago, with the help of a bunch of YouTubes and many online tutorials I went for it! Woo Hoo!--turned out fantastic, just like the ones I always had 40 years ago.
re: Goldendog
Goldendog.....Glad you were able to try tamales for yourself. Umpity-ump years ago my sister
and I were taught how to do it by my mother's housekeeper and her family. They called it a
"tamalada" and all the kids and the tias and the abuelas would get together and make dozens and dozens of the best tasting tamales ever. Gather some of your friends and go to it.
It's a really fun way to introduce tamales to your crowd.
re: Goldendog
Homemade tamales are amazing. We made some this summer with fresh corn, roasted poblanos, and gooey cheese. We topped them with tomatillo sauce, cilantro, and crema. Yum...like dessert.
Bagels. They are easy, and once you've had one hot from your own oven, nothing else compares.
