It was a beautiful, albeit windy, day on the Greenway. I met Kat out for an early lunch before the food trucks got swarmed with the lunchtime crowd. I was trying out Posto Mobile for the first time! Posto Mobile is a food truck out of Davis Square – they have a brick and mortar […]

Nix’s Mate is located in the Hilton Hotel in the Financial District. It has a modern interior with a chic club vibe. We ventured out for dinner on a Monday night so it was relatively quiet.

In lieu of holiday gifts for one another, a group of us got together and went out for dinner at Alden and Harlow. We sat all the way in the back of the restaurant on the far side of the bar – which on a weekend night was a tough spot – it was right […]

For me, when I think of FiRE + iCE, I think tourists. Restauranteur Jim Miller and Rafael Barbosa opened a new restaurant located under FiRE + iCE called underFiRE. Miller and Barbosa were looking to fill a niche – a casual neighborhood space where people could come and relax after work. Even though they are […]
