dougo.livejournal.comI just saw a sign on Teriyaki House (on Broadway near Powderhouse; used to be Doo Wee & Rice, and East Asia before that) saying "closed during transition" and "Mint Indian Eatery". I will miss their marinated rice plates, bao baos, and crispy chicken hearts! Anyone know anything about the new place?
scf21.livejournal.comHi neighbors! I volunteer with a local no kill cat rescue, Black Cat Rescue, and we are having a Benefit Night at Flatbread Co. in Davis Sq next Tuesday, March 29th. Proceeds from each pizza sold all night, eat in or takeout (or delivery on Foodler and Grubhub), will be donated to Black Cat Rescue.
TUESDAY, MARCH 29
5pm to close
Flatbread Co., 45 Day St, Somerville
All you have to do is order pizza!
We will also be selling raffle tickets with lots of prizes including gift cards to JP Licks, Somerville Theatre, Diesel Cafe, Ball Sq Fine Wines, Float Boston, and more.

lancedavisward6.livejournal.comAs many of you are aware, there are two new food establishments proposed in Davis Square. There will be neighborhood meetings to discuss each of these proposals next week on Tuesday, January 26th. The first is the proposal for Opa Greek Yeeros at 378 Highland Ave. (Planning Staff Report). The meeting will be from 6:00 to 6:45 at the site, 378 Highland Ave., which is the former Kick@ss Cupcakes location. The second is the proposal for Oath Craft Pizza at 280 Elm St. (Planning Staff Report). The second meeting will be at 7:00 PM, also at 378 Highland Ave. Both matters have or will be continued until the February 3 ZBA meeting. (edited to update meeting times and address)
mzrowan.livejournal.comZaytouna Cafe, in between Yummy Hut and Lemon Thai, has finally opened! We ordered dinner from there tonight and it was very tasty, especially the grape leaves. They make everything from scratch and are very knowledgeable about which items are vegan, vegetarian, and so on. And they're on GrubHub and Foodler!

wardv.livejournal.comOn September 22nd I walked into Diva around noon with 2 colleagues and got takeout lunch buffet. My total came to $10.65, which I paid with credit card. The waiter was rude, and I didn't feel obliged to tip since I was just getting takeout. Walking back to the office, one of my colleagues said he saw the waiter add $2 to my credit card receipt.
The food was okay.
I waited until the charge cleared, and sure enough, it was for $12.65. I disputed the $2 with the credit card company, which gave it back to me immediately. I'll be eating elsewhere in the future.
Be careful using credit cards at Diva Indian Bistro.

Tenoch Coming to Davis Square?
Sep. 12th, 2014 12:59 pmjdh0625.livejournal.comI just stumbled on this, which is a few weeks old, but I haven't seen it posted.
Tenoch, which has locations in Medford Square and in the North End, is moving into Kickass Cupcakes' old storefront in October. This would be the Kickass Cupcakes storefront closer to Davis on the corner of Highland and Cutter, near When Pigs Fly and where M3 used to be.
I like this. Tenoch is awesome. I think it's better than Anna's and Chipotle and it also has a somewhat different focus -- a more adventurous menu of tortas and tacos. They have burritos as well, but they aren't the centerpiece.
That block is a little tricky given how far down Highland from Davis it is and the implications that has for foot traffic. The stretch of Highland from Davis to Grove is pretty lifeless outside of Five Horses and then there's Kenney Park and Rite Aid. A great number of people who walk home from the T in that direction do so via the Community Path. It's a little out of sight, out of mind, so fingers crossed that they do well.

fangirl715.livejournal.comI noticed that there was a sign in the window of the Kickass Cupcakes Dairy Bar for a new store, Maximum Hesh, which will apparently be geared towards skateboarders, and wondered what that meant regarding the Dairy Bar itself. It finally occurred to me yesterday to stop in to Kickass and find out what's up, and here it is: they've moved their baking operations out of the actual store and somewhere "down the street", so they'll still be selling everything the Dairy Bar had, except that it'll be in the same space in which the cupcakes are sold. Right now, they seem to be working on the exact setup, but the refrigerated case w/milk, etc. is there right now, and you can certainly buy things, although you may need to ask for help taking things out of case
