Answer: BORE

Each clue suggests the name of a business on Mass Ave between Harvard and MIT.


A good place to get a square meal. Thirty seven of them, in fact. - 1369 COFFEE HOUSE

As I dined, I felt like I was on a plane coming in to Sky Harbor airport. - THE PHOENIX LANDING

Be sure to come back often. The menu is always evolving. - DARWIN’S LTD

Chef Andhrimnir’s place is heavenly. Try the Saehrimnir. - ASGARD IRISH PUB & RESTAURANT

Given the chef of this centrally-located place, I expected to see whale on the menu. Or Cylon. - STARBUCKS

Here every table is a chef’s table, since she cooks right in the middle of the restaurant. - CENTRAL KITCHEN

The drinks were K is for Killer! I got totally W is for Wasted. - GRAFTON STREET

The Mexican food here is so inauthentic, even the word “burrito” is Americanized. - LITTLE DONKEY

Their signature dessert is the “Blueberry Hill.” It was so big, I almost toppled over into the person next to me when I was done! - DOMINO’S PIZZA

They accept many alternative forms of payments, even those things you pull to open a soda. - THE CANTAB LOUNGE

They served me an intriguing mix of wine and beer. (I would have called it a Heinfandel, but their name for it was good, too.) - ZINNEKEN’S

This place goes far beyond molecular gastronomy, and into biological gastronomy, physical gastronomy, geological gastronomy, and astronomical gastronomy. Hallelujah! - MIRACLE OF SCIENCE

This restaurant is truly farm-to-table . . . the waiter kept disappearing to till the fields out back. Apparently a lot of celebrities eat here, too. - THE PLOUGH AND STARS

While you dine, you are entertained by the finest aquatic jazz. - THELONIOUS MONKFISH
