Our final NRT gathering was held at Teranga in the South End in July. It was bittersweet to be ending such a fun tradition. Teranga is a small Senegalese restaurant with a warm and simple décor with exposed brick and simple African artifacts. I had called ahead and told them our group was coming even [...]

Our NRT gathering for June was at Technique in Kendall Square in Cambridge. It is the restaurant run by the students of the Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Boston. Technique is located in an office building which makes it a bit difficult to find. The restaurant itself is a cavernous space with [...]

For our NRT outing in May we tried Punjab in Arlington. The space is beautiful! It is a very large spacious room decorated in warm tones of brown, orange, and yellow. The room is separated into smaller dining spaces and a long bar. The menu is quite extensive with dishes not only from the Punjab [...]

Our NRT gathering for April was supposed to be at Café Mami in the Porter Exchange building but we arrived to find it closed. It was a bit strange as there was no sign or note so instead we headed two doors down to Ittyo Restaurant. It is a very similar establishment with few tables [...]

For our March NRT gathering we decided to take advantage of Boston Restaurant Week and try Locke Ober. During this week participating restaurants offer prix fixe menus for $20.09 at lunch and $33.09 at dinner. It is nice chance to try a restaurant which you might otherwise reserve for an occasion. Every year we try [...]

After a break in January we reconvened our NRT outings this past week with a trip to Nikisha’s Roti Shop in Dorchester. As is the case with most Trinidadian roti shops, it is a simple storefront with counter service. A few of us arrived right at 7pm and were greeted by Niki. She mentioned that [...]

Our NRT gathering for December was at Con Sol in Cambridge. We arrived on a freezing winter night to an almost empty room. It is a cute space with warm brick and adobe tones and Spanish, Portuguese artifacts on the walls. The room was quite cold that we asked the waitress to turn up the [...]
