Boston magazine’s 25 best new restaurants

The November issue of Boston magazine is one of my favorites, because it features “the list.” In the past it’s been a top 50 list and this year they cut it in half and christened it the “25 best new restaurants in Boston 2015: the list,” aka their list of Boston’s most exciting dining destinations. And just like that, my numbers went wayyyy down. I finally got myself to O Ya and I don’t even get “credit” for it this year. Such a bummer.

Anyway, it looks like I have some work to do before next November! RC friends take note:
