February 27, 2017 Farmstead Table

Farmstead Table has been on my list for quite some time, so I was happy when Leah and I finally made it there last week. The inside is just charming: dark wood tables, bright red chairs and etsy-esque accessories. The restaurant is small, so if you want a seat, make sure to get there early. […]

February 22, 2017 The Brook Kitchen and Tap

The Brook Kitchen and Tap has been open for just over a month. We headed over to Maynard to check it out for lunch last week. Located on Main Street, the restaurant has a great bar area, a sun filled front room with banquets and a small private room in back. Jose, the General Manager, […]

February 6, 2017 Morning Salute

I am always on the hunt for a GREAT breakfast sandwich. We went to the Maynard Farmers’ Market this past fall and had brunch at the Morning Salute food truck. The farmers’ market is located on Main Street next to Mill Pond. It runs every Saturday from 9am – 1pm beginning the last Sat in […]

January 31, 2017 Friendly Toast – Back Bay

The Friendly Toast moved into the Back Bay into the former Zocalo space. You have to walk down Stanhope Street and resist popping into Flour Bakery or Red Lantern before reaching the restaurant. The space has a similar look and feel to the Cambridge location with its kitschy decor, but the space is much smaller. […]

January 26, 2017 Osteria Nino

It wasn’t quite outdoor patio weather, but pretty cool to check out the pizza oven at Osteria Nino in Burlington. I hadn’t visited Burlington in quite some time, so it was nice to see how many new restaurants and shops have popped up. Osteria Nino is pretty convenient to get to, it’s right off the […]

January 17, 2017 Za

It was a dark and rainy afternoon and we had just been to a memorial service. For a gloomy day that meant we definitely needed carbs on carbs. We were in need of some serious comfort food, so we stopped into Za for a bite to eat. They have a location in Cambridge that I […]

January 12, 2017 Tom’s Bao Bao

Leah and I met for lunch in Harvard Square to try out Tom’s Bao Bao. I love me some dumplings so I was in heaven. We walked in and spent a good ten minutes just staring awkwardly at the people behind the glass making the dumplings (and taking videos of them). All of the buns […]

January 10, 2017 Luke’s Lobster

Three of us headed over to Luke’s Lobster for lunch before our little field trip to Eataly. We showed up right before the lunch rush and boy did it fill up fast. I had first been introduced to Luke’s Lobster when I was in New York. (See another post here.) They have two locations in […]
