Quick Tips: I first tried Highland Kitchen when I was looking at apartments nearby, and I fell in love. It’s eclectic, it’s lively, and it’s delicious. From the spicy curried goat stew to the Buffalo fried Brussels sprouts to the dark and stormy made with house-made ginger beer, everything’s perfect. There’s even a monthly spelling bee which I’ve been meaning to attend for ages; I was once the number two speller in Massachusetts, and I need to work out my inferiority complex by crushing drunk Highland Kitchen diners. One day.
