According to Wikipedia, the nickname "Heartbreak Hill" originated with an event in the 1936 race. On this stretch, defending champion John A. Kelley caught race leader Ellison "Tarzan" Brown, giving Brown a consolatory pat on the shoulder as he passed. His competitive drive apparently stoked by this gesture, Tarzan Brown rallied, pulled away from Kelley, and went on to win--in the words of Boston Globe reporter Jerry Nason, "breaking Kelley's heart."

Brookline is a really nice and fancy and relaxing City to the south west of Boston which is really part of Boston, let's be honest.

It's the most upmarket and suburban of the urban cities of Boston and is pretty on the eye but often hard on the wallet. Corey Hill Outlook, the bakeries (Athan's and Japonaise), the cinema, the Thai restaurants, some of the sushi and the Publick House are redeeming features that get me across the river regularly. Yuppie parents, bad sushi, horrible intersections, stupid bylaws, the green line, murderous turkeys, painful hills for cyclists, the Ryder Cup in 1999, the fans at the Ryder Cup in 1999, the shirts the USA wore at the Ryder Cup in 1999, and STUPID PARKING FACISM (!!!) are all reasons why Brookline Fails at Life. Just my opinion, but Brookline, you're 4th out of 4. (sound effect: mwaap, mwap, mwaaah)

I am writing to express my family's frustration with our experience on Thanksgiving afternoon at Davio's in Chestnut Hill. I write this with the most respect for servers and understand working on a holiday is not the best. With that said, Davio's has clearly gone downhill. We had a reservation for 10 people at 12:30. At that time, you have to expect more elderly people than not so the fact that you had music BLASTING in the dining area was uncalled for. We started off our meal with cold, hard popovers. Which is appalling since Davio's is known for this yummy treat. They were horrible! Next up was the drink order. One person got a flat, warm ginger ale served to her and asked for a new one with ice; the server never came back. Another person in our party ordered a Cosmo, light on the cranberry. It was too much cranberry. But she could not mention anything, because the server never came back. After an hour sitting there, my cousin had to go up to the hostess to ask for our lunch order to be taken. Our waiter didn't show up. Another waiter came by and it was only then that we were able to request a new ginger ale and a new Cosmo. Our original waiter finally came back and took our orders. (after over an hour sitting there) One person ordered steak medium rare and it arrived well done. While the rest of us were eating and finished our meal, it was only then that she finally got her medium rare lunch. The rest of us were asking to box up leftovers while she was only starting to eat. Unacceptable. Then it took forever for the server to ask for our dessert and coffee orders. Dessert took forever as well and came before the coffees. Usually, coffee is served quickly but not this time. Once we got our coffees and cappuccinos, they did no bring sugar and cream; we had to ASK for it. That should just be a given. We were actually charged for an extra cappuccino that should have just been a coffee on the bill, but that's the least of our problems from that day. Our reservation was at 12:30 and we were not able to leave until after 4pm! Nearly 4 hours for a Thanksgiving lunch? And to be automatically be charged a tip with that horrible dining experience is insane. Especially since the Thanksgiving meal was $85 and $15 additional for dessert! Needless to say, we will not be dining at Davio's for another holiday again which is your loss because we eat out for Thanksgiving and Christmas every year. I will be sharing this review online and have told a few people I know about our experience. Davio's is a pricey establishment, but what exactly are we paying for? Because it wasn't for the service and definitely not for quality popovers!
