Noticed a new packy next to Trader Joe's in Tyngs. last night. The Liquor Shop. Whilst I did not go in, it looks pretty thorough. Wines, beers, all manner of spirits. Because, sadly, this TJ's does not carry wine (has anyone been to the Brookline joes? the selection is staggering) moving directly next to TJ's is v. smart. You can grab frozen risotto and a rhone in a jiffy. Beats dealing w/ the NH state store on the Danny Web. Has anyone shopped here? The upper-scaled Wine Society that used to occupy the last store in this mini-strip never seemed to catch fire. Every time I went in (which wasn't often) it was too quiet, dead energy, not conducive to getting your shop on. Don't like to select wine in a monastery. The Society moved down Middlesex next to Bella Italiano and still I have not been in there, but I hear it's way better. Yet, why were they closed before 9 p.m. last night? This Tyngs. thoroughfare could use a pickmeup, what with Shanahan's wine/jazz bar, former Matthew's skin club, shuttered. A lonely sight indeed. What would work here, a flatbred pizza co.?
