January 19, 2016 Freshii

I started off the New Year with a healthy meal – by accident. I headed over to the Freshii in the Back Bay, located just at the corner of Dartmouth and Stuart, next to the Starbucks. Everything these days can be custom made, why shouldn’t your meal be that way too? Of course they have […]

January 14, 2016 Loretta’s Last Call

I haven’t been to Lansdowne Street since my college years. I was excited to check out Loretta’s Last Call, a country bar, for their bluegrass brunch. Every Sunday they have a bluegrass brunch from 11-4 with live music. They do other fun events like free line dancing lessons on Sundays and Tuesdays and Bourbon tastings […]

January 12, 2016 The Cottage Wellesley

Right before the holidays I was invited to a blogger dinner at The Cottage in Wellesley to showcase the restaurant and the shops that are close by. We ate in the private room in the back of the restaurant. The table was beautifully decorated with linens from Bonsoir, a store that sells luxury linens from […]

January 7, 2016 Seoul Soulongtang

Peter had the afternoon off of work so we headed over to try out Seoul Soulongtang in Allston. Half of their menu is variations of beef soup with the other items making up the combination plates. What is Soulongtang? It’s white ox bone broth with brisket, marrow and thin flour noodles with salt and scallions. […]

December 31, 2015 Casa B

I took my mom to an event at BeadKreative in Somerville and since we were in the area, we decided to have dinner at Casa B, one of our favorite spots! Check out my previous reviews here and here. I love sitting downstairs at the bar/chef’s table. I love the cheese plate here, served with […]

December 29, 2015 Parkside Market

Parkside Market is a cute little place right on Main Street in Falmouth. They offer breakfast all day and lunch until 4pm. There are cafe tables inside and a few tables outside on the sidewalk. Parkside has a nice assortment of sandwiches and lighter options if you’re just planning on stopping in for coffee and […]

December 28, 2015 Bent’s Cookie Factory

Bent’s Cookie Factory is well known among Milton residents for their delicious sandwiches and their broken cookies. Years ago, when I used to work in Milton, this place was my downfall. I was coming here multiple times a week for the Winter Valley sandwich and some cookies for dessert. I was in the area and […]

December 27, 2015 Daily Grind

We went to visit my brother in North Carolina and he took us to one of his favorite places for breakfast.  The Daily Grind is a great little coffee shop where you can grab a bite to eat and do a little work on your laptop – oh, and they have great coffee too. If […]

December 24, 2015 Babbo

I had been wanting to try Babbo for some time, but wanted to wait for the hype to die down before heading in. The restaurant, that is located in Boston’s Seaport District, opened in April and has been serving up Mario Batali’s Italian cuisine to locals and tourists alike. The restaurant is enormous, with over […]

December 23, 2015 The Abbey

If I were young(er) and single, I would be hanging out at the Abbey every night. This restaurant, located in Brookline’s Washington Square neighborhood, was packed with tons of good looking guys drinking beer and snacking on small bites at the bar. We had to wait for a table, as the restaurant is pretty small. […]
