One thing I have to say for Prose, an Arlington MA eatery, is that it is aptly named; it is
entirely a prosaic affair, nothing poetic happening here.
The decor is strictly utilitarian in this storefront bistro. Some
pictures adorn the walls in a quasi-artistic arrangement. The tables
are sturdy Formica; chairs tolerably comfortable; ambient temperature
a little sticky, unless you are able to hover over the air
conditioning vent. Be prepared to settle in for a few hours.

Food and Drink
Food and drink have become a major part of most people’s lives, in particular their social lives. In fact the phrase ‘food and drink’ produces over 89 million hits on the Google website. Excessiveness in either is of course unhealthy, but perhaps this is one of the reasons why people see good food or good wine as something special, something to treat themselves with.
Guides to good food, wine and restaurants have become big business. Egon Ronay’s ‘Guide to the Best Restaurants and Gastropubs in the UK’ which provides detailed reviews of over 500 restaurants and gastropubs has sold over 2 million copies. Its simple to compare style of awarding up to three stars to each restaurant is clearly a hit with readers.
