Of late, Hizzona has been frequenting the Westbury in West Roxbury, next to where the bowling alley used to be on Centre Street, Tammy reports:
In the four Sundays that we have gone, Mayor Menino and his wife have been there each time -- sitting at the communal table -- breaking bread and chowing down with all walks of life. Each time, it becomes more and more apparent to us just what the Westbury has to offer. Inexpensive, large-portioned, traditional breakfast fare. Along with the food comes the colorful local community members who frequent this place. From "John" a neighbor who shows up every morning at 6:30am -- singing sports-inspired themes -- to the Greek owner who walks around and chats up his patrons. ...

when he's not screaming at wait staff from the kitchen.
I do admit, the well-done home fries are pretty awesome. Order the toast dry unless you like it dripping in butter. The pancakes are good as is the sausage and the bacon. The coffee is bottomless but the cups are small and wait staff is usually too busy to come around more the twice for refills.
Oh, yeah, he does like to yell

But for those times when we can't get into Auntie Bee's (which over the past couple of months has been, oh, 100% of the time), it's a short walk away.

and no one who has ever been in the Westbury or has actually voted in a Boston election calls the Mayor of the City of Boston by the silly name "Mumbles" either.

I live in West Roxbury (since '92), call him mumbles and vote. Um, I wouldn't call Westie the suburbs etc. Do you have a nickname for him?
