A year or so ago, I wrote up a master post to dining in the Boston area. Or at least, what I thought would be a master post. I'm not sure why I thought that would be the extent of my posts, given that my family lives in New Hampshire, and I travel through Boston all the time.
Of course, I headed back to the East Coast for a few weeks this summer, so, I devoted my blog to the Northeast for a few weeks in honor of my trip. This post is a pointer into all my dining adventures. Future trips to the Northeast will just have entries added here.
