City/Town Recommendations #13

This is my thirteenth post of a planned series noting my personal recommendations for food/wine places in various towns and cities. This time I am touching on a few different cities and towns, including Natick, Needham, Newton Lower Falls, Salem and Tewksbury. This list might be expanded and/or revised in the future but I will note when it changes. Be sure to check my extended reviews of many of these places elsewhere on my website.
