This Is(?) My City
I really wanted to feel like I lived in a foreign country for a while, so I went to vote on the "Best of Boston" Awards in the Phoenix. When they start asking for categories like "Best place for Pilates", "Best Non-Gallery Art Space", and "Best Dance Club/Night", it really makes me feel like I have no idea what's going on in the city around me. Which is fine. The day I have an opinion on "Best Man/Pedicure", feel free to put three bullets in my head.
A short BunkoSquad slate of endorsements:
Best Barbecue: Soul Fire
Greasy Spoon: Charlie's Kitchen
Italian Restaurant: Carlo's Cucina Italiana
Pizza: Pinocchio's (write-in)
Sandwich: All Star Sandwich (this is provisional, since I haven't actually made it there yet, but they have poutine on the menu (PDF file), which is good enough for me)
Books/New: Harvard Book Store
Books/Used: Harvard Book Store (write-in)
Men's/Women's Shoes: Payless (write-in)
Comedian: Eugene Mirman
Public Art: Chimes at Kendall T Station
Public Open Space: Mt. Auburn Cemetery
Blog: I wrote in Bostonist, naturally, but if you want to give Adam at Universal Hub your vote, I won't tell. Just please not Jon Keller.
What'd you all vote for?

Harumph harumph.
Ditto with the used books endorsement of Harvard bookstore - best since the late lamented Victor Hugo.
