Merrimack Street eats

Two new restaurants just opened on Merrimack Street, JD Roast Beef and Angelinos Subs, within a block of each other.
On a quick drive-by, I am relieved to report that Angelinos has style. Okay, so decor can't mask taste, but a little ambiance can sure improve a lunch break. Sorry Espresso Pizza, but cinder blocks and orange plastic booths are not the stuff of edible ecstasy.
Electric blue walls, IKEA furnishing, drop lights and a retro-hip bar that will soon offer beer and and wine, makes Angelinos possibly the hippest eat on the street. How long has it been since a new restaurant opened on Merrimack? Almost three years. That’s when the Mambo Grill rolled its first fat one, unless you count Gary’s Ice Cream, which I don’t. JD’s has moved into Gary’s old space, more suitable for a fast food beef joint. Looks like the za’ stands that line Hampton Beach. Has anyone tried JD's? Carnivores please report.
