August 5, 2015 Pure Cold Press

If you live in Brookline, you know Rami’s. Since opening in 1990, Rami’s has been serving up falafel to the community, with a recipe Rami brought over from Jerusalem. Recently, Rami’s son Haim opened up his own restaurant next door, Pure Cold Press, a casual place where you can grab a healthy bite to eat. The […]

August 3, 2015 Ramen Burger

I know you’ve heard about Ramen Burger by now, well this is the original. We had heard about it before, and even passed it up last time we were in New York and at Smorgasburg, but there was no line and there was no waiting at the South Street Seaport location, so we scooped up […]

July 31, 2015 Sushi of Gari Tribeca

When we were in New York, we decided to meet up with an old co-worker of mine for sushi. With 4 locations, we met her at the Tribeca location – but Sushi of Gari can also be found on 78th Street, Columbus Ave. and West 46th Street. We arrived around 7 and the place was […]

July 28, 2015 Umpleby’s Bakery and Cafe

Every time we head up to Vermont we stop in Hanover, NH to grab a bite to eat.  We usually stop at Lou’s but this year decided to mix it up a bit. We tried out Umpleby’s Bakery and Cafe. Owners Charles and Carolyn Umpleby opened the bakery originally in Vermont in 2000, and then […]

July 27, 2015 The Friendly Toast

We headed over to The Friendly Toast at the crack of dawn (ok, 8am) to try and beat the rush. While we were seated right away, the place filled up by about 8:30am. Our server was awesome, really on top of everything. Our food came out quickly and he made sure that we had everything we […]

We were invited to Margaritas on Thursday for a preview event for #NationalTequilaDay on Friday. We were treated to a guacamole demonstration, given a tour of the restaurant and Matt from Sauza gave us a little lesson on tequila! They don’t make the guacamole table side, but as I mentioned, we were given a special […]

July 22, 2015 Prohibition Pig

I had met the guys from Prohibition Pig at the Taste of WGBH event a while back. I was excited to head up to Vermont to try the regular menu. The restaurant was packed! Be prepared to wait when you come (grab a delicious drink at the bar) and know that space is tight. I love the bar […]

July 21, 2015 Piecasso

I had totally forgotten that we had eaten here before. Just goes to show you what lack of sleep can do to you. We headed to Piecasso for dinner with my parents. While the restaurant has been open since 2000, it has been in this new location since 2006. We start out with the garlic […]

July 20, 2015 Taste of Cambridge

Taste of Cambridge was this past Thursday evening. My new friend Kayte invited me to tag along with her! The doors opened at 5:30pm and the VIP line rivaled the regular admission line. Once we were inside, there was a special VIP area, where we quickly headed for some much needed drinks. Then we walked […]

July 16, 2015 La Cucina Sul Mare

We finally got the chance to head over to Main Street and try La Cucina Sul Mare, an Italian restaurant in town. The restaurant is separated into two rooms, the front room being a little noisier than the back room. It was before Memorial Day weekend, so we go it without a wait and the […]
