"You shouldn’t leave Boston without visiting Somerville, a place that - until it gets too expensive for anyone but bankers in 10 years - is where Boston goes to get a little creative and a little weird. The restaurant that best embodies this place is Tanam, a tiny 10-seat Filipino restaurant that’s run by just two women in Bow Market, a former warehouse that now houses a brewery, comedy club, and places where you can buy jewelry out of reclaimed wallpaper. For $75, you'll enjoy a seafood-heavy meal you eat with your hands on a table covered in banana leaves." - dan secatore
