Brown Sugar Cafe - Boston

When thinking about Fenway Park, I tend to think about the majestic Green Monster or mammoth David Ortiz home runs or (even better) mammoth Bucky Dent home runs. I’m not sure superior Thai Food would make the top five (hundred) on that list, but what we found on a quiet side street just behind Fenway was just that. Inexpensive, unpretentious, delicious Thai food. Truth be told, I can’t even be positive what we had, as the dishes came out fast and furious, but every single dish was flavorful, fresh-tasting, and perfectly spiced. The expansive menu features curries, seafood, classic Thai dishes, as well as the chef’s Gourmet Originals menu, which turns the menu upside down by showcasing the vegetables with the meat in the second chair...

With another location closer to BU (I think) and a full lunch menu, it's a great, (relatively) cheap meal. We were there mid-week and, even though there was a Red Sox game in progress, reservations weren’t necessary...
