Tony, you really inspired me to travel the world. I spent 6 months backpacking in Southeast Asia last year and always made a point to seek out restaurants you'd visited. Thanks for what you do.

That said, how do you feel about the impact of a small local restaurant appearing on your shows? Do you ever make a point to not reveal the location of a restaurant?

I remember visiting the Soup Lady in Saigon, and it had become a pretty big tourist hot spot. This wasn't the case everywhere you'd been, but the impact was definitely visible at times.

My experience with Boston buses has been absolutely miserable. I recently moved to Boston, and I commute on the 66 from Allston to Longwood. It often takes me well over an hour to travel the two miles between these two locations, both in the morning and at night.

I decided I'm just going to move to Mission Hill next year to be closer to work, and the MBTA's incompetence has a lot to do with that.

I simply cannot comprehend how a bus won't come for 30 minutes, then 3 turn up at once, which probably means that buses won't come for another 30 minutes after that. I can't really even see how that's a "not enough buses" issue. It seems like a scheduler is just very very bad at their job.

Thanks for the tip! That's actually very helpful. I'm not a fan of drunken college kids (despite having been one myself just a year ago), and I didn't really think of that when considering Mission Hill.

I absolutely love Coolidge Corner, but my concern was that it would be out of my price range. How much more expensive is Brookline than Allston or Mission Hill? It seems like a wonderful place to live.

There are stops a mere 1 minute walk from each other or less still. So ridiculous
