• Posted Stuff to Eat in the Suburbs: Watertown—Stellina Restaurant to Bostonist
  Have you ever needed that perfectly in-between place to dine in Watertown? Somewhere nice, but not too expensive. Somewhere you can dress up if you want, but without high fashion expectations. Somewhere tasty, but not overwhelmingly gourmet. If so, we've found that Stellina is a slam-dunk for all of these criteria. Located in Watertown Square, Stellina is fairly easy to get to from Watertown, Waltham, or Newton. One of the best things about Stellina is...
• Posted Stuff to Eat in the Suburbs: Melrose—Breads n Bits of Ireland to Bostonist
  A Cranberry Scone from Breads N Bits of Ireland in Melrose Breads n Bits of Ireland (530 Main Street, Melrose) is the kind of place that can make you an addict if you’re not careful.

Given a name like Lumière one would expect a luminous experience with lots of lighting, which in one room is delivered by the unique wall sconces shaped like open booklets containing writing or music. They are...
• Posted Stuff to Eat in the Suburbs, Saugus: Angela's Coal Fired Pizza to Bostonist
  We’d heard some interesting things about Angela’s Coal Fired Pizza in Saugus, but frankly, this Bostonist hasn’t really sat down for just pizza and wings since she was in college (except of course for the occasional trip to Regina’s in the North End). So last week when we were out in the Saugus area we decided to check it out. Now a sit down restaurant that only serves pizza and wings seemed a little...
