    Cafe Perish - Boston

    Tonight we went to Cafe Perish. This unique cafe on  Boylston (Boston, MA) has a kitchen open until 1:00 AM -- 7 days a week. Not too many places in Boston stay open this late. Also, Perish serves up many beers on tap -- especially when considering you're in Boston.

    The food can either be amazing or so-so at best. Tonight was so-so. If you're there, try the vegatable soup, pasta, or the tuna melt.
