...eat what the Romans eat! Sure, yelp can do wonders. But the best place to discover local favorites is through word of mouth. We recently pigged out at this restaurant near MIT called Emma's Pizza. Some of the best thin slice pie I've had outside of New York. The only way we found this place was through KThai's coworkers, who are frequent customers at Emma's. It's location is a bit obscure - on a sidestreet in a semi-residential/semi-industrial area. Across the street you will find an autoshop, and on the next corner, an apartment building. Who knows how long it would have taken us to find this diamond in the rough otherwise? Save yourself some time and go where the locals go.
Another tip: cook. Especially if you have people to cook with. Some people are turned off by cooking, and reasonably so. Not everyone comes home from an 8 hour day eager to spend 30+ minutes in the kitchen preparing dinner. But when the prepwork, cooking, and cleaning are distributed among two or more people, cooking becomes less of a chore and more of a leisurely activity. Plus, it takes less time to go from this:
to this:
Oh, and double plus - it saves you money so you can spend it all at Emma's later!
