The Shoegazer, lucky.

This bill was spotted almost immediately after entering the bar. Interesting side fact - about six years ago The Shoegazer found a crisp $50 bill lying on the ground right outside this bar. Perhaps O’Briens is part of a portal or Bermuda Triangle for lost money turning up.

An acceptable place for liquid brunch.

I started the day off with a blood mary because it is the only way to start drinking again while having a massive hangover. It wasn’t the best blood mary but it did the trick.

Unless that liquid is a Brubaker.

One word of warning. The 16 ounce bottles are refilled over and over again and you can rest assured that the bottle you are putting your lips on has tasted many, many lips for almost 20 years.

Though they do have some positive attributes.

Since Brubakers are twice the size of normal bottled beer, our visit to Our House West concluded with my drink count crossing the double digit marker.

Of course, if you’re not careful it’s entirely possible to end up shoeless there.

i think this picture is the percise reason that i miss boston and that i had to leave boston …. i hate photos that document nights you dont really remember.

Devra First writes in the Globe about our new warring Shabu Shabus.

The ingredients are almost always of high quality - beautiful scarlet rolls of paper-thin beef, ultra-fresh seafood - and the service is friendly and helpful. It has to be, as shabu shabu restaurants are filled with confused first-timers juggling ladles and chopsticks and trying to figure out just how long it really takes an eel ball to cook.

Also, check out this Shabu Shabu Toki photoset from Nodame.
