Lo Mein in Boston.

[randomness]

So, hypothetically speaking, if I were looking for that old Cantonese standby, lo mein, and I wanted the best I could find, where in the Boston area would I go?

Less hypothetically, if it were quarter to midnight on Friday night, and I were in Somerville, would I still be able to find lo mein that was significantly better than the stuff I could find in the late night Chinese delivery places?

Even less hypothetically, anyone want to go search for it with me, starting from somewhere between Davis Square and Powderhouse Circle? Right now, I mean.

Obviously too late for this time, but... in Chinatown there are a couple of places open until 2AM during the week and 4AM on weekends. Can't remember the name of the main place, it's right next to the arch and has spawned a couple of outposts nearby... damn! It'll come to me.

Oddly, there's also Ginza in Chinatown, which serves Japanese food and is open similar hours.

Chau Chow City!!! Also Grand Chau Chow. And possibly Chau Chow Kitchen, I'm sure there was a third one spawned recently.

83 Essex Street in Chinatown.

Google is your friend. Now I'm all hungry for steamed sea bass.
