Two Somerville Restaurants Make 'Boston Magazine's' Top 50 List

Bergamot and Journeyman are two of Boston's top 50 restaurants, according to the lifestyle magazine.

Boston Magazine released its "The 50 Best Restaurants 2012" November issue, and two Somerville restaurants made the list: Bergamot and Journeyman. About Bergamot, the magazine said, "Bergamot may look like the quintessential neighborhood restaurant, but appearances can be deceiving. Sophistication abounds here." And for Journeyman, Boston Magazine said, "Some of the most inventive, elegant cuisine in Boston is coming from … a back alley in Somerville." Online, the magazine took a "a closer look" at Journeyman, describing one of its carrot dishes. You can see the whole list here. It's the second year in a row Bergamot made the list. In 2011, Somerville's Posto was also included.

Update: Did 'Boston Magazine' Snub Somerville? No, It Didn't (Oops)

The magazine's "Best of Boston 2012" issue is a little light on Somerville stuff.

Update, Aug. 16.: It turns out Boston Magazine is still into us after all! As Elyse Andrews of Somerville Beat pointed out (see comments below), Somerville also won awards for three other things: Some publicity folks with Boston Magazine also pointed out these oversights. This brings the tally of Somerville winners to nine, which isn't too shabby, though still not as good as last year. By way of explaination for how we missed these three things, they were written up in Boston Magazine using a different color background and font. You can't expect us to read things in different colors, can you? Please. Also, it's just that things have been tough at work, and we're, like, really tired, and it just seems like you've been distancing yourself …

Somerville a 'Best Place to Live,' Says Boston Magazine

The magazine calls Somerville "the new Cambridge."

In its March issue, Boston Magazine selected 14 communities in the Boston area as "best places to live," and Somerville is one of those communities. "Because it's the new Cambridge," the magazine argues, giving its reason for honoring Somerville. "Consider it the feistier younger sister to the People's Republic: close to Boston and densely populated, but edgier and more artsy than its sibling." The magazine lists the city's numerous art studios, galleries and venues as a reason to settle in Somerville, and it says Union Square is, generally, "where creative types hang their hats." It also pinpoints East Somerville and Winter Hill as areas with a growing number of "artistic folk." Boston Magazine also mentions home prices in Somerville, …
