About Us

So who are we, and how do we know about all these Boston and New England restaurants? Well, we are lifelong Bostonians who, growing up, used to go to offbeat restaurants such as the late, great, Shakey's in Nashua, NH, and the warm and cozy Old Mill restaurant in Westminster, MA. We are lovers of food (as you can probably tell), but, more than that, we also are always on the hunt for that restaurant that no one knows about.

While we would like to think that we know every great hidden restaurant in the Boston area, we admit that this is most definitely not the case. Perhaps you have a special restaurant that is off the beaten track. If so, and you would like to share it with us (and about a million other people!), please don't hesitate to contact us. Hopefully we will get the chance to try the restaurant ourselves and add it to the Web site at some point.

In addition to review pages on featured restaurants in Boston and New England that many consider to be hidden jewels, we also have other interesting sections, including a restaurant blog on the Boston restaurant scene, as well as restaurants outside of the area; a restaurant questions and answers section, where people can participate in restaurant discussions; a viewers' favorite restaurants page, where we ask people to tell us about their favorite restaurants; and several other special features, including a page on popular and hidden restaurants in New York City.

Our site has been steadily increasing in popularity since its inception in early 2004. Late that year, we received our first big boost, with the founder of the site being invited to spend an hour talking about Boston's Hidden Restaurants on the Jordan Rich show on WBZ 1030. The following year, Boston's Hidden Restaurants was featured on the 5:30 news on Channel 5 in Boston. Then in early 2007, the site's news blog (Boston Restaurant Talk) was added as a feature to AOL's Boston dining page (where it remains today). And in late 2007, the blog was featured on the front page of the Boston Globe's online edition. So what is in store for 2008? We shall soon find out!

Well, that's about it for now. Enjoy the site, have fun reading about all the restaurants mentioned, and again, thanks for checking out Boston's Hidden Restaurants!
