October 13, 2016 Dates and Olives

I’ve been unconsciously on a Mediterranean kick lately. Met a friend at Dates and Olives in Brighton for lunch one day. We were the only other people there except for the photo shoot that was going on that day. The space is cute inside, with a few tables (but no high chairs for those of […]

October 11, 2016 The Villa

I grew up going to The Villa as a kid. My grandfather would take me out to lunch or dinner here and we would have our meal and then “split” a dish of vanilla ice cream. I recently popped back in and not much as changed. They slapped on a fresh coat of paint outside, […]

September 29, 2016 Artú

It has been a long time since I’ve had a night out, so what better way to spend it than with friends in the North End. We ventured out to Artú, a family owned and operated restaurant located on Prince Street. We shared plates to get a little taste of everything. The restaurant was cozy, […]

September 27, 2016 Parents Night Out at Trade

It’s been a little over a year since I left my job downtown. I don’t get to the financial district/seaport much now that I’m not based there, so I jumped at the invite of a parent’s night out with some friends. My friend Leah organized the evening. She is amazing (in so many ways) so I […]

September 22, 2016 Neptune Oyster

Neptune Oyster is one of my favorite places to eat, but the line is always so long for dinner that I rarely make it there. Recently I was able to drop by for lunch, they open at 11:30, so we were there around 11:10 and there was already a line of about 10 people. Tourists […]

September 8, 2016 Prime 131 Grill

The thing I miss most about living in the city are all the restaurants to choose from. While I am excited to add some new restaurants to my repertoire, there just aren’t as many to choose from out in the ‘burbs. So we headed out to try Prime 131 Grill in nearby Wayland. We are […]

August 29, 2016 Centerville Pie Company

My family and I had spent the day in Hyannis and decided to stop in to Centerville Pie Company on the way home. Sound familiar? Yup, they’re Oprah famous! In 2009, co-owners Laurie and Kristin opened the 18 seat bakeshop. That summer, Kristin heard that Gayle and Oprah were in town, so she boxed up one of […]

August 25, 2016 Southern Kin Cookhouse

I had never been to Assembly Row until just recently. Leah, Kim and I decided to meet up for lunch at Southern Kin Cookhouse, a new restaurant featuring, you guessed it, good southern cuisine. We were there when they opened, so you can just see how far behind I am with posting this summer! Everyone was […]

July 25, 2016 Food and Beer Dinner at Harvest

I was lucky enough to be invited to Harvest for the Harvest x Food & Beer dinner in June. The event featured guest chef Daniel Burns and brewer Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø, co-founders of the Michelin-starred restaurant Luksus and Tørst in Brooklyn. They were at Harvest to celebrate the release of their first cookbook, Food & Beer. These guest chef dinners, used to […]
