There hasn't exactly been a boom in new restaurants over the last week. We assume people are either on vacation, or spent the week celebrating the New Year. But one thing we couldn't helping mentioning is how we must lay to rest the popular new years eve eyeglasses with the double zeros in them. Rest in peace, trashy eyewear.

Crazy Incidents: Well, we assume they didn't ask for that piece of plaster in their lobster bisque. Unfortunately, Saturday night the new Franklin Cafe in Southie literally brought down the house. Several wooden panels fell from the ceiling and landed on the diners. 11 people were hurt, but luckily the injuries were not major. However, this shouldn't deter you from going back to the Franklin. It's still one of the coolest spots in the Hub. [Boston Herald]
