August 5, 2013 Union Square Donuts

Union Square Donuts is all the rage these days – are gourmet donuts the new cupcake? They’re even better! Located in Somerville on Bow Street, this tiny shop could easily be missed – so keep your eyes peeled for the chalkboard out front. They open at 8am and they only stay open until the last […]

November 23, 2012 The Cottage

Met up with an old friend in Chestnut Hill for brunch at The Cottage. There is a lot of construction going on, but they are still open. I must admit that I have been waiting for quite some time to have brunch here….more specifically the mashed potato omelette. For $10.95 you get all of this! […]

August 11, 2011 The Diner at 11 North Beacon

I am always on the lookout for a good breakfast place-they’re harder to find than you might think. My friend brought me to The Diner at 11 North Beacon, a great little diner in Watertown Square that is family owned. I suggest going early in the morning because this place fills up fast, and there […]

June 29, 2011 Vermont

Welcome to four days of complete relaxation. We went up to Stowe, Vermont, to the Stowe Mountain Lodge. We have been here in the winter time, and decided to see what summer was like. Our first reaction…it’s so….green! We have a view of the front driveway from our room, with the mountains in the back. […]

January 24, 2011 The Cottage

I have driven by the Cottage many times, mainly because it’s in the same parking lot as the Roche Brothers where I sometimes go grocery shopping, and never really thought to stop in. We went this past weekend, it was particularly cold outside, but when you walk in the front door, you think you have […]

December 22, 2010 Friendly Toast

It’s always hard for me to pick a place for brunch. My inner lazy-bones tells me that I just want to roll out of bed and down the block for food….but my inner food snob tells me to expand my horizons. Enter the Friendly Toast. I had heard people raving about this place for months […]

October 28, 2010 Clear Flour Bread

I love Clear Flour Bread! Every time I go there, I remember just why I love it so much, yet I forget about it from time to time-out of sight out of mind I suppose. Clear Flour is located at 178 Thorndike Street in Brookline, in a residential neighborhood. The smells of the freshly baked […]

October 17, 2010 Parkers Maple Barn (NH)

Just over the Massachusetts/New Hampshire border is Mason, NH and Parker’s Maple Barn. A little over an hour to get to this place from Boston, there’s no way to get here without taking some back roads. We go on a Saturday afternoon and enjoy the fall foliage on the way up. You wonder if you […]

April 20, 2010 Zaftigs

This Jewish style deli is named after a word that loosely means ‘pleasantly plump’. Zaftigs is certainly not the place for those who are counting their calories.

March 1, 2010 Lou’s (New Hampshire)

Lou’s is the local hangout for Darmouth College students. There is almost always a wait at this place, but the line moves quickly. There are a few seats at the counter and some booths. This past time, we were waiting in line, and one of the managers brought us doughnuts while we were waiting to […]
