The only place in Dahhchesta for good eatin' at all hours was Linda Mae's on Morrissey Blvd.
Another dead diner: the appropriately named Tom Thumb, on Cummington St near the now-also-gone Nickelodeon Theater.
RIP Bob the Chef's, never the same after being turned into a "Southern bistro," and now even that's no longer here.
Does no one else miss Dixie Kitchen on Mass. Ave near Berklee?

Elsie's, Zum Zum and that all night hot dog place Tastee's in Harvard Square.

Genji Restaurant on Newbury St.

Warburton's... I loved their Cornish Pasties.

I loved the burgers at Elsie's. I think they even had knockwurst! Thanks, great memory of a vital part of the past charm of Harvard Square! Also, how about the Sizzleboard in Kenmore Square, Boston? I remember this place in the late 1960s as a quick-serve sandwich place where an angry young hippie waitress once yelled at my Dad for not being able to make a decision on what to order within five seconds of entering the building. What a great day. We also went to Fenway Park that day and Tony Oliva's bat went flying from his hand after a swing and almost knocked us out. The combination of a Tony Oliva bat almost hitting us in the face and an angry hippie waitress at Sizzleboard is, no doubt, a well-known societal menace. I guess it just wasn't our day, but at least the food at the Sizzleboard was very good despite the boorish, dimwitted service!
