My beloved old Volvo has a bunch of little issues that need addressing. I'm in Arlington Heights, but I will go a bit out of my way if anyone has someone reliable, reasonable and fairly timely to recommend. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.96485 Sun, 13 Jul 2008 14:29:25 -0800 arlingtonma arlingtonmassachusetts auto car carrepair Mayor Curley http://ask.metafilter.com/85422/Im%2Din%2DArlington%2DMA%2Dand%2DI%2Dneed%2Dfood%2Dand%2Dbeer%2Dwicked%2Dbad Do you know Arlington, Massachusetts? I need some help finding the best stuff. So I moved to Arlington Heights a while ago and I'm having trouble adjusting to a few things. Most everything is fantastic, we love the neighborhood and the walkability, but we're having only fair luck with food.<br> <br> We've got the pizza thing covered: a few people recommended Nicola Pizza and it's very good italian-style pizza, awesome salad dressing, and it's going to be walkable when the weather warms. Any other places worth checking out, keeping in mind that I don't tend to like Greek-style pizza?<br> <br> The other places we've found in Arlington Heights/East Lexington that we're pleased with: Sala Thai for thai, Bollywood Cafe for Indian. Any places you prefer over those?<br> <br> Here are the things I specifically need help with:<br> <br> <b>SUBS</b>: We're really close to "I Chef" and my wife and I agreed that what we got was merely decent (mine was tasty but way too soggy). I got a sub from Rick's Place in East Lexington tonight and that was awful. Who's got the good subs?<br> <br> <b>MEXICAN</b>: We're near Ixtapa in East Lexington. Man, is that bad. You have to reach to be a little worse than Alcapulco's, but they did it somehow. We're big fans of Sol Azteca in Newton. Do we have to suck it up and drive back there?<br> <br> <b>BEER</b>: My quest to find <a href="http://ask.metafilter.com/60071/Whats-the-best-packie-in-the-Boston-area">the region's Best Packie</a> is an Ask Metafilter work-in-progress. But where do I go very locally? I've been to Berman's in East Lexington (weak selection, overpriced), the Kappy's out at Fresh Pond (weaker selection), Busa's in East Lexington (don't get me started) and that really awful place on 2A near the Burlington Mall.<br> <br> My local place in Newton (Upper Falls Discount Liquor) was reasonably priced with a decent selection. Did I just get lucky?<br> <br> Thanks in advance for your suggestions! tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.85422 Wed, 05 Mar 2008 16:32:35 -0800 arlington arlingtonma beer massachusetts mexican subs Mayor Curley
