We went to Boston over St Paddy's weekend and Saturday night we went to dinner with about 12 of us total before the festivities. We wanted to end up in Cambridge for bar hopping so we stopped at Middle East which a friend of mine said wasn't bad. And that's true, it wasn't bad, but it was very far from... More
