The scrambled eggs were perfectly done, not runny or gooey like other places. The potatoes perfectly seasoned and slightly crunchy out and soft inside. The Banana bourbon French toast...Is the best breakfast food I've ever had and I eat out frequently. I literally scraped my plate clean. I would have done the same with my eggs, potatoes and Turkey sausage but I couldn't eat another bite. I wish we had a North Street Grille here but perhaps it's better that I not have easy access to the quality of food otherwise I'd need a new bigger size wardrobe. If in Boston this is an ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE. If we had room and weren't leaving town the same night we'd have bought the banana bread. They provide complementary for each table and it's one of the bestest most beautifully made banana breads I've had. Service was fast and friendly. It's a cute and quaint little place packed to gills with people which is fine because everyone is friendly and the food is divine!!!!

I visited North Street Grille in the North End of Boston and overall had a really solid brunch…read moreexperience. We ordered the French toast and the huevos rancheros. The French toast was absolutely outstanding!! Easily one of the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, rich, and flavorful, it's a must-order and alone makes this place worth visiting. The huevos rancheros were decent, but not quite at the same level. They felt a bit less authentic than expected, and the hot sauce option was limited to Tabasco. I think a more traditional, homemade Mexican-style salsa would have elevated the dish significantly and made it shine. Because of that, I'm giving North Street Grille 4 stars. The French toast is phenomenal, and with a little more attention to authenticity on certain savory dishes, this spot could easily be a 5-star brunch destination. I'd definitely come back! Especially for the French toast.

Did a company group training "Train" class with Eli at EverybodyFights Seaport and honestly... I'm…read moreannoyed at how much I liked it. Eli ran a great session: high energy, well-paced, and somehow got a bunch of coworkers to sweat together without it feeling like a corporate trust fall. Full transparency: I'm usually not a fan of classes that force you to pair up with other people (mostly because I'm lazy and prefer to suffer silently on my own), but I have to admit the partner format actually works. It's just enough accountability to keep you moving, without being overly "team-building retreat" about it. After class I took a quick lap around the facility. It's clean, well-maintained, and doesn't have that sad gym smell. Tons of class options, and now I'm very tempted by the heated yoga and the medspa... because if I'm going to work out, I'd like to be rewarded immediately afterward like a Kardashian. Everyone working there was genuinely nice and welcoming. Would absolutely take Eli's class again, and would recommend it if you want a great workout, a fun time with coworkers, or friends and the mild panic of realizing you're capable of more than you thought.

I had a solid experience at Handle Bar! I've taken a lot of cycling classes and this was my…read morefavorite one in Boston so far. Lots of class options at different times and a good variety of music and themed classes. The coach (Alexander) was great. The workout was well-structured and had a lot of options to modify and challenge yourself during the workout. The inside of the gym was clean and they have complimentary shoe rentals that you can wear if you don't have your own cycling shoes. I really appreciated this, unlike other cycling places that charge ridiculous fees for them. I loved that there were smaller class sizes (like 20 people) compared to other cycling classes I have been to that cram 40-50 into the room. The smaller class helped me feel more connected and present. The instructor can actually see everyone in the room too, so it helps feel more friendly in my opinion. I really enjoyed my experience here and would come back to Handle Bar over other cycling classes in the area. They also have discounts on classes and memberships for students, teachers, medical workers, and military, which is a great perk too!

The winter weather has been cramping my ability to run outdoors, so I decided to try HB! I've been…read moreto spin studios in the past and I was glad that this place met my expectations! Definitely a fantastic cardio option in Fenway! My first class was a Sunday morning class, and along with the sensory experience of the music and the light changes, the energy of the instructor and the class goers was CRAZY - definitely woke me up! I was surprised at how full the studio was (only 3 empty bikes). The 45 min class is choreo style, meaning you have a leading leg, ride to the beat of the music, and there's movements (e.g. 4 corners, tap backs), with about 5 minutes of arms using a weighted bar (it seems like everyone has the same bar) and stretching that begins 1.5 min until the end. The bikes don't have a monitor on it, nor a numeric number for resistance, so you follow the instructor's cues for how many turns to add on / go by feel. Pros: - Some of the most hype instructors I've seen recently! A++++ - The studio provides the cycling shoes! A++++ - Every bike has a towel on it! - Riders don't have to wipe down their equipment after (I think the staff does this), so it makes it easier to leave the studio. - Water fountain, ear plugs, hair ties, bobby pins, etc available Cons (minor): - For first-timers, it was hard to flag down a staff to help with setting up the bike because the studio was so packed and busy. - The studio is sort of small - the bikes are very much packed against each other and the hallway where people change their shoes and put stuff into lockers is narrow and gets very crowded. - Only two classes on Saturday and Sunday. Note: masks optional but vaccination required, so ride at your own risk

For gyms in Boston, Healthworks is the best I have found. I have been a member for over five years…read moreand I recently toured other gyms to make sure it was still the right fit for me (BSC, ymca, equinox, and others). It is a generally inclusive (I haven't seen anything to suggest otherwise, but anything can happen) and women friendly environment and is always pretty clean. It has the occasional hair in the drain, dirt in the locker room, but staff is always quick to clean anything up. The steam room is nice, the sauna is nice (although on occasion people are gross and go in there with their gym clothes on -- the team is actively trying to curb this). The whirlpool is sometimes not the cleanest but i was a lifeguard for a long time and i wouldn't recommend it in most gyms. The towels and amenities overall are as nice as most luxury gyms. The equipment is good, classes are generally good and instructors are open to feedback always. More classes and styles have been added in the last two years and they have really nice stages bikes and good equipment all around that is really clean compared to a lot of other gyms I have looked at. As for membership, i was able to easily pause and resume during covid. The gym did ask for it in writing/email, but membership changes (adding, removing, or a short cancellation at one point, and a medical pause) have always been simple processes with a supportive staff. I think some of the negative reviews are probably speaking more to that reviewers unique situation or limitations in kindness and respect as I have never seen or heard of that kind of experience from other members. As for the personal training staff, the desk does look out on the floor and trainer do sometimes walk around or look at gym users, but it doesn't typically strike me as "checking out" the girls. There was a few instances of male personal trainers looking at women that could have been uncomfortable for someone expecting a male free-zone. But the staff has done a lot since those first complaints to reduce any of those feelings, and in my experience the male trainers are professional and kind and would take feedback if they were making you uncomfortable and try not to have it happen again, either directly, or through management/other female training staff.

Every time I come here there's at least 5 men wandering around. I did ask about this and they said that it's mass law to hire inclusively. Something to keep in mind if you're looking for a safe woman's only space. I have to find a corner where there's just women when I workout. It feels weird to me to have a bunch of male trainers and staff but advertise that you are a women's only gym rather than in a regular gym where you'd expect to see both men and women. Honestly if I knew this before I committed for the year I would have just gone to the same gym with my boyfriend. At least there I would know it's coed. Someone could say this is false advertisement.
