Boston Munch

General: Scoozi! The best place on earth. International, young and fun crowd. Good food, good Sangria, good friends. Located: 237 Newbury St.

She Said Update: Not much new to say about this place. I’m here all the time. I’d say almost once a week! I took my mum here as well. Unfortunately we had to sit inside, but none the less it was still fun. She even liked the Sangria and normally she doesn’t. The pizza was yummy we had the veggie one.

He Said Update: There is always a summer song, a summer outfit, and a summer place for food an drinks, this was the place to be for the summer. One more thing I love the Tuna Putanesca panini. yeah!

General: This Italian/pizza restaurant open for lunch and dinner everyday, and brunch on the weekends. It’s open late and there is always a variety of people there. Croma has an extensive list of pizza dishes, salads, and appetizers. Located: 269 Newbury St, Btwn Gloucester & Fairfield St, Boston MA

She Said: I constantly pass this restaurant as I walk around town, I look at it, notice the large outside seating, but make nothing more. For me, it’s just another pizza place… but a bit nicer. One day, I finally find myself in Croma. Laughing, talking and enjoying everyone around me. I think to myself, “not such a bad setting after all!” The spinach and artichoke dip was very good, I do admit. The pizza is thin crust and tastes great! … I wouldn’t come all the time, but if you’re in the mood for a sit down and a pizza, this is probably the place. Plus, the outside patio makes it a good choice for people watching! The atmosphere of Croma is the peak.

He Said: The first time I went to this place it was more because the wait at the other places in Newbury was to long. Once in I was pleased with the look and feel (causal-chick), the menu seems pretty straight forward for any American-Italian place. I would like to point out the drink menu, it is pretty creative with names like Purple Haze, and Grey Goose margarita.
All the pizzas are really good, being my recommendation the BBQ chicken one, the appetizers are not bad either, If you want something simple that taste good Croma is good choice for all you Newbury st. walkers.

She Said:

I absolutely love coming here. I really don’t know what is better than reading and having tea on a Sunday afternoon. My personal favorites drinks are the veggie and fruit juices. As for food, you can find me having the MAPLE NUT GRANOLA and the FRESH FRUIT SALAD. If you are a breakfast person, Trident is the one for you because you can get breakfast at any hour!

He Said:

I’ve got to admit, at the beginning I wasn’t so warm to the idea of this place. Perhaps it was the whole veggie-first vibe, but now I am glad I went. They have food for everyone, even us meat-eaters; you will find chicken quesadillas, hamburgers, and even meatloaf on the menu. But the real gems of this place are the smoothies and teas. You can’t go wrong with the Trident smoothie, a blend of orange juice, banana, and various berries. Like she said, this is a great place to relax, read a book or a magazine, browse the net or just enjoy the food. Don’t let the whole green intellectual facade scare you from a good meal.

General:

International, young crowd with the best sangria in Back Bay. Located on the corner of Newbury St. and Fairfield. (237 Newbury St.)

She Said:

I’ve been to this little restaurant a few times with a few different friends. The food is wonderful, the hostess’ are excellent and the atmosphere is always energetic. The best thing about Scoozi’s is their sangria. The added cut up fruit is one of my favorite parts and I’m always struggling to get the last of it! The inside is pretty small, only about 5 tables, but the outside patio is awesome. There is nothing better when the sun is shining than a pitcher of sangria, a salad and people watching with friends.

PROS: Sangria and pizza is great to share, outside patio, cheap and fun place!

CONS: inside seating is very small, always busy during lunch.

He said:

This place has a certain “je ne sais quoi” that reminds me of some spots from home…maybe it is because I always hear people speaking Spanish, French or English with some other foreign accent. While some Bostonians might initially find the crowd distant and aloof, people are actually pretty friendly as they hang out and just try to have a good time. The menu is pretty straight-forward with treats for every taste; I recommend going for a panini, and the BBQ chicken pizza is a must. A pitcher of sangria seems to be the drink of choice, and for good reason: it’s phenomenal, fruity and powerful. This is definitely a spot I like to frequent and I recommend to anyone who is going down Newbury and wants to make a pit stop while enjoying a beautiful day in Boston.

PROS: Located in the middle of Newbury, prices are reasonable, and the staff is very friendly and attentive.

CONS: Wait time can be very long, no sangria by the glass.
