I had never heard of Noodles and Company before, but I was picking up my cousin at the Route 128 train station and we were looking for a place to grab a quick bite. Now let me tell you how much I love noodles. If I could only eat one thing for the rest of […]

Located just past the Wayside Inn, AJ Cakes is a new (ish) bakery located just over the line in Marlborough. While the majority of Ashley Miller’s business is in custom cakes and pastries, they do have a great pastry case that is filled with lots of goodies. Selections change often, but you can usually find […]

East Boston is not really on my radar, but it should be. First, because KO Pies is located in the shipyard. Second, on a nice day, it’s a great place to wander around. There’s free parking on the street and lots of cool things to see. KO Pies is on the smaller side, but they […]

I always enjoyed Iggy’s bread when I bought it at the store. I didn’t realize they have their own little shop over in Cambridge. It’s out of the way, and not super obvious to find, I drove by two or three times before I figured out where the lot was. Call me directionally challenged. Iggy’s sells […]

Oh yes people, Saus has flavors like “Saturday Night Chive” with fresh chives and sour cream, “Cheddar Duvel” with sharp and mild cheddar and Duvel ale (served warm), and “Ole Chipotle” with chipotle in adobo, […]

Just when I move out of the neighborhood, great things start popping up, like Holly Crab or Union Square Donuts, or a MINILUXE!!!! Is it too late to move back? Ok, I digress. Holly Crab. I can safely say that you should not go here on a first date. Or a second date. Probably safe […]

I know that it seems like spring will never get here, and summer seems even farther away. I thought I would post about the Cape to get us all in the spirit! I know I’m looking forward to warm days by the ocean and catching up on some serious vitamin D! I know I have […]

Mamaleh’s is a great Jewish deli located in Kendall Square (from the same team that brought you State Park). They are closed Mondays and serve breakfast all day! I’ve been there twice and we actually catered my dad’s birthday party with Mamaleh’s. So what is with the name? Mamaleh is a yiddish term of endearment for […]

Babbo is Mario Batali’s restaurant located on Boston’s Fan Pier. They opened in 2015 and occupy an enormous space. The open floor plan has 3 bars and features wood burning pizza ovens. I have been before, see my previous review here, but was anxious to get back so that I could try some of the […]

Located in a small strip mall, Station 5 Grille is a hidden gem. The owner is a fireman, thus the name and the decor. They’re open at 7am, so great for families who have kids who are up early. We went late morning and the place was packed – not even a free seat at […]
