So I moved to Allston.[views:4189][posts:60]_______________________________________ [Sep 13,2008 10:15am - christopher ""] I've only been here about 2 weeks but I am liking it more then i thought i would. I have managed to keep a distance from the meth and guns so far. What sorts of places should I know about here. What's good to eat, what's cheap, who sells nice wares etc. |

| ______________________________ [Sep 13,2008 12:45pm - ZJD ""] I guess so. I don't know where anything is, but across the street from Spike's there is this Taiwanese place called JoJo Taipei that's awesome. They have a bunch of "fried pig intestine" and "leek in goat's blood" and shit like that if you're into it, but they also have the best tofu I think I've had in a long time. |

| ______________________________________ [Sep 13,2008 5:15pm - quintessence ""] Something fucking crazy and sketchy ALWAYS happens to me every single time I hang in Allston after a show or at a party. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 13,2008 7:05pm - christopher ""] I like living here. I have a much bigger place for the same/less money my friends are paying to live in Cambridge. And I live close enough (10 minutes on bike) to see all my friends cambridge and bike to school in under 30 minutes. There is alot of drunken douches filling the streets at night and some areas I don't want to hang out in...but I just won't go there. Plus I'm real close to Obrien's so if I wanted I could see all these RTTP fucktards frequently if I wanted. |
| ____________________________________________ [Sep 13,2008 9:49pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] Allston is trashy. Went to a party there. Nothing but the sketchiest people. |

| _______________________________ [Sep 14,2008 1:18pm - timma ""] Spike's. That is all you need to know. |
| ____________________________________________ [Sep 14,2008 1:51pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] I lived in Quincy for about 4 months. Asian town, man. |
| _____________________________ [Sep 14,2008 2:03pm - ZJD ""] I don't understand why everyone loves the grasshopper so much. It's sweet when you're vegan to have a decent restaurant where you know everything on the menu is for you, but most of their food bums me out. When I go there, I get the no name everytime because it's the only thing I've gotten that doesn't dissappoint but it's so expensive. JoJo Taipei >>>> Grasshopper, even if you're vegan. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 14,2008 3:55pm - ellesarusrex ""] grasshopper is not expensive at all.. |

| _______________________________________ [Sep 15,2008 8:39am - aaron_michael ""] Grasshopper is good, but agreed that My Thai is better. Try Charlie's Pizzeria on the corner of Kelton and Allston street if you want some really good greek food. of course the Sunset Grill is a great place for trying new drinks(if that's your thing). Try mead, or vikings blood while you're there. There's a really good thai restaurant a few blocks away from Grasshopper. It's a hole in the wall across from Dunkin's. The food is amazing, but the woman who "waits" there apparently hates life and everyone who breathes. Aside from that, everything else that's good in the the area are in the surrounding sections of boston(brighton, JP, etc.) |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 15,2008 9:16am - ellesarusrex ""] i liked my thai more when it was buddah's .. do they still have anna's around? that place is fucking amazing |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 15,2008 9:18am - joeycobra ""] VIKINGS BLOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aaron were you the one I gave my Vikings Blood to when I ordered that flight of Meads & decided I didn't like them? And yeah best thing about Allston is Sunset Grill. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 15,2008 9:20am - ellesarusrex ""] viking blood is fucking good. a friend of mine got a bottle of it when she was in VA and brought it home.. you ever try making your own mead? i want to do it.. |

I just left you a myspace comment, but since you're here, let's hit up Sunset before our show on sunday!!! |

| _________________________________ [Sep 15,2008 3:05pm - c.DeaD ""] I fucking hate grasshoppers. I ain't a vegan or anything, but that food just tasted like shit. I think Allston has some great places to eat. I love Shabu Shabu and this fastfood indian place I go to all the time. Fucking chicken tikka kebab in a nan roll with onions and spices for 7 bills rules my ass. |
| ___________________________________________ [Sep 15,2008 3:15pm - Mikeofdecrepitude ""] I'm vegetarian and I can vouch that Grasshopper's food sucks. Their chicken fingers are all breading and practically no tofu. Fuck that shit. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 15,2008 3:20pm - the_reverend ""] man, I love grasshoppers. I haven't eaten meat for so long that back when I started there weren't really veggie burgers available anywhere. let alone all the shit you can buy today. It's amazingly simple now-a-days to get all your nutrition and not consume fleisch. |
| ______________________________ [Sep 15,2008 3:23pm - Yeti ""] i am going to devour a giant, mostly cooked slab of ground up beef in honor of carnivores sometime this week. all this vegan talk is making my bowels grumble. |

| _______________________________________ [Sep 16,2008 7:35pm - DIIIIIIIIICK ""] Allston pisses me off A LOT. But the one thing that pisses me off the most there has to be the poor choice of the hipster wannabes cigarettes. EVERY SMOKER THERE SMOKES FUCKING CAMEL LIGHTS. I did a test one night too see how many cigarettes I could bum from those scenester faggots. I got 10 smokes from 10 different losers. ALL of the cigarettes were fucking camel lights. Too many sketchy memories from that atrocity of city |
