No,
this isn't a picture of Pastis in New York, but a photo of the
very new, very cool Gaslight Brasserie in Boston. The restaurant is the
brainchild of the Aquitaine Group, who also run the Armani Café
(I used to love their gourmet mac'n cheese when I lived in
Boston). Located in the increasingly hip South End (or Southie),
Gaslight serves classic brasserie fare in a classic brasserie
setting. Tuck into onion soup, steak tartare and platters of
shellfish. Going beyond the norm, there is also Cuban sandwiches
and Gaslight also serves brunch- with lots of omelettes and a
tasty looking vanilla French toast. Gaslight, 560 Harrison
Ave., Boston, MA, Phone: (617) 422-0224
