"The #4 at Gene’s - a bowl of thick, chewy hand-pulled noodles topped with a garlicky pepper sauce - is one of our single favorite dishes in all of Boston. And it costs only nine bucks. When you get that along with a big, greasy $5 pork sandwich, you’ll realize that, while it’s mostly true that money doesn’t buy happiness, $15 at this tiny counter-service place Downtown does." - dan secatore
