So we hit Darryl's Kitchen for superb soul food and jazz on Friday night, then Warren Tavern in Charlestown for some surprisingly good New England lunch in a cozy colonial atmosphere, then an incredible late night dinner at PARK in Harvard Square, the place was slamming but everything was pitch perfect, especially that magnificent trout that I had, and finally a lovely Dim Sum Brunch at Myers+Chang for Easter.
