Tucked into the residential area of Newton Upper Falls is a home-grown and comfortably home-y type of place that could easily become a “local” even for folks from out of town. No wonder, then, that it is the older sibling of popular Southie spot Local 149!

A Capital Idea – Capital Grille has set a new ruling class for steakhouses (Originally published 12/11)
For those who loved escaping the hipness of lower Newbury for the old-school pleasures of Capital Grille, fear not. Though the venue has changed, it is more than the well-established name that has remained the same.
You Belong Here – Brahmin makes you feel right at home with old-school comfort and new-school flair (Originally published 10/11)
And this is good old Boston,
The home of the bean and the cod,
Where the Lowells talk only to Cabots,
And the Cabots talk only to God.
So goes the old rhyme of the Boston Brahmins, a select group of well-to-do aristocrats who ruled the city and (in their own minds at least) the world.
While the once awe-inspiring names Lowell and Cabot may now be relegated to industrial mill towns, amazing third basemen, creameries and ice cream shops, the style in which they once lived lives on in another new positive addition to Stanhope Street that is called, appropriately enough, Brahmin.
