What Makes a Good New York Black & White Cookie? Thoughts on the Best

I've had an obsession with black and white cookies ever since I had my first one at Sal Anthony's Bakery on Irving and 19th in the 90s. They were excellent and absurdly cheap. The bakery is sadly long-gone. I now go to 9th Street Bakery on 9th and 1st Ave for my black and white fix. You should check it out. I haven't had one in a while but the last one I had had a little bit of lemon in the white as mentioned in some of the comments.

Cambridge, MA: All Star Pizza Bar

They soon will have some desserts similar to ASSB's. Johnny has been making cheesecake-pizzas once a week that are going to be offered more often. Also, I've heard that the pizza is getting better with time. I tried it on the second day they were open. I enjoyed it but the crust in your picture does look far better than the one I had.

Sugar Rush: Fruit Crumbles and Kanten Parfaits at Angelica Kitchen

I love the kanten parfaits, particularly the spelt crumble

Food for Change: 5 Food Groups Doing Great Work

Wow, three Boston area/MA groups in one post! Hooray for CitySprouts, they are AWESOME.

8 New Cupcake Shops (and Cupcakes) We Love in NYC

@neverending appetite: Georgetown has a gluten-free, just one variety that I've seen, chocolate with cream cheese frosting.

Searching for Hamentashen on Avenue J and Beyond

Another vote for Moishe's. Sara, you mentioned Pomegranate's are pareve, do you know which of these are definitely made with butter/dairy?

A 12-Course Vegan Feast at Craigie On Main in Cambridge, MA

This is fabulous. I did the Vegetarian Ultimate Craigie Experience a few months ago. I daresay this tasting looks even better. I would have loved that green garbanzo puree and those two last bites. The palate cleansers are really outstanding. Mine was a green apple sorbet with candied celery.

Win the Valentine's Day Collection from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams

Chocolate and cherry, or something with honey.

New York Giants vs. New England Patriots: Who Wins the Super Bowl of Food?

FYI, Steve Herrell is not associate with Steve's ice cream. The new New York-based company was started by David Stein, who purchased the original trademark. He is playing up the Steve Herrell connection, much to Herrell's chagrin.

Super Bowl Giveaway: California Avocado Gift Box for Guacamole-Making

On a sweet potato sandwich, delish

Waltham, MA: Tacos Especiales at Taqueria El Amigo

Brandeis!! Woooo!!!
I think I only learned about Taqueria El Amigo after I graduated and started food blogging. It's relatively far considering all the options on and around Moody Street (though friends and I did venture out to Paisanos on High Street once and had excellent food there).
Not Mexican, but have you ever been to Mi Tierra on Moody St? If you haven't, you must go the next time you're in Waltham. Wonderful pupusas, homemade tortillas, plantains and more.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Recchiuti Chocolate Bars

Chocolate sandwich cookies

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Recchiuti Chocolate Bars

Right now, brownies. The chocolate tarte in Somerville makes excellent ones.

Which is the Best Local Eggnog in Boston?

What about Shaw Dairy in Dracut? They sell it at the Dairy Bar and the Somerville Winter Market.

A Cookie A Day: The Treats Truck's Caramel Crème Sandwiches

Hands down one of my favorite cookies EVER. I

Scott's Pizza Chronicles: Who Is Pulcinella?

Fascinating. The farm where I worked in Italy had names for all of its houses. The one I lived in was called Pulcinelli. The farm was in Siena though, nowhere near Naples. I'll have to find out how it got that name.

Food Artisans: Danny Macaroons

Cereal Eats: Yes, Rice Krispies Treats Cereal Still Exists

Where did the purple box come from? They definitely used to come in a turquoise box. You can see an image here: http://imremembering.com/post/443908049/rice-krispies-treats-cereal-remembered-by

Taste Test: Peanut Butter, Creamy

I have to say, lumping the natural-types and Skippy-types together and then declaring Skippy the winner is a bit like doing a coffee taste test and declaring a mocha frappucino the winner against plain black coffee. I myself prefer a more unadulterated peanut butter.

A Sandwich a Day: Avocado and Sweet Potato at Nectar

Love avocado and sweet potato sandwiches. Crema Cafe and Ula Cafe in Boston have been making them for years. Crema adds thinly sliced green apple for lovely bit of crunch and sourness.

Boston: Pasta e Ceci at Il Casale

I've been meaning to check out Il Casale ever since I walked past it when going to Rancatore's. I LOVE this soup. I had it often and the farm I worked at in Italy. Thick, rich and starchy, it was heavenly.

Going to say Menton. Woo Barbara Lynch!

A Sandwich a Day: Crema Café's Sweet Potato Sandwich in Cambridge, MA

This is one of my most favorite sandwiches!!! I have been eating it ever since Crema opened a few years ago. It is definitely satisfying, I usually can't finish a whole one in one sitting. Liz, have you tried the sweet potato sandwich at Ula in JP? Another notable one.

Hangover Helper: Waffle House Hash Browns

Whether you're nursing a horrible hangover, driving down I-95 at four in the morning, or looking for somewhere to get married, Waffle House always seems to hit the spot. Regional restaurant chains tend to develop a cult status, but can be a huge letdown when you realize the food is just the same cheap junk you find everywhere. I don't know if it's the beautifully simple design scheme, the psuedo truck stop atmosphere, the food, or all of the above, but Waffle House is actually all that it's cracked up to be. More

Market Scene: Somerville Winter Market, Massachusetts

This January, the city of Somerville launched a winter farmers' market to bring fresh, local, healthy food to residents of this densely populated urban center. Jaime Corliss, director of the Shape Up Somerville Program, has been very happy with the response. And, vendors (selling everything from daikon radishes to cider doughnuts) are certainly finding this location worth the trip. More
