Fresh Side calls itself “a little eatery and tea place” – blushingly self-aware, as you’re not going to find crumpets and scones here. The outside of the place, on Amherst’s main drag, is black-and-white nondescript, but the interior is polished and mode...

When I visited Black Sheep on a Sunday afternoon around 3, it was packed – there was almost nowhere to sit, and me and four friends had to steal plastic chairs from other tables and cram around a table meant for two. Yes, there’s a good chance you’re going to end u...

Siam Square does not have a whole lot of personality, and the waitstaff is a little clumsy. If it were running for Miss America, it would lose. The decor is lots of wood, and then a little more wood. We were seated, sat for 2 or 3 minutes without menus, and then approached by a server who sai...

There are televisions in this restaurant. Set on sports channels. I shouldn’t have to say more, but I will. There aren’t nearly enough vegetarian options on the menu, and almost no vegan options, which is a poor choice for any restaurant, but especially one in a college town, and e...

The major problem I have with Autentica! is the mean guy behind the counter who glares at you while you’re ordering and glowers at you while you’re standing around waiting for your food. I would go more often if I didn’t have to deal with the bizarre fury of that dude. ...

Lhasa Cafe: you can go because you’ve never eaten yak and you’ve always wanted to (weirdo), or because you’re a vegetarian and they have lots of yummy potato/vegetables dishes, or because you know you won’t find any dinners for less than $10 in Northampton, anyway, or b...

Walking into this restaurant is a little like walking into those old houses that’s now a museum because a famous person lived there once and there’s still an old desk left that people can walk by and ooh and ahhh at. I do believe that the restaurant was a house at one point (the ba...

Now that bathing suit season is over, it’s time to get in shape for sweater season. So I headed over to Salad Spinners, a salad fast-food chain. You can order one of their suggested salads for $5.50 or create your own salad with up to six (non-meat) ingredients for $6.00. They don’t suffer fro...

Tips: 1. The really interesting corn-and-onion bread they bring to your table is great to stupidly fill up on. 2. Get a freshly-made, cheap vegetable juice. 3. Beware: the service is good, but leisurely. Read on.

Tufano’s is a favorite for a few of our Italian aunts & uncles, so of course we had to go check it out. When we first sat down, we squinted at the chalkboard on the wall which was difficult to read due to a million erasures and the glare of the sun. “No menus?” we asked t...
