December 8, 2014 Salvatore’s

After spending some time at the Boston Christmas Festival, my mom and I headed over to Salvatore’s for lunch. Salvatore’s is owned by Sal Lupoli, who you may know from his Sal’s Pizza empire. Unlike it’s more casual counterpart, Salvatore’s is a full service restaurant featuring upscale Italian food. Of course I order the Pappardelle […]

November 14, 2014 The Farmhouse Tap & Grill

Some posts get away from me. This post on the Farm House Tap and Grill would be one of them. We went to Vermont in the summer for a long weekend vacation and this post never made it to getting published with all the rest. We went on a great sailboat ride on Lake Champlain […]

November 13, 2014 Shanghai Gate

I haven’t been to this area since I was in college, heading out to Great Scott for “Ladies 80’s Night”. My friend told me that we should check out Shaghai Gate because the food was excellent and so were the prices.  Parking was a bit difficult at the meters on the street, so take public […]

November 11, 2014 Pastoral

Pastoral opened in April of this year, the big draw being the wood fired oven. I’ve heard the space called “industrial farmhouse” which seems to be fitting. They have a great communal high top table near the kitchen, great for groups! We started off with the wood fired garlic knot ($7.50) drizzled with olive oil. […]

November 6, 2014 Momofuku Noodle Bar

The first seating for dinner at Momofuku Noodle Bar is at 5:30pm. We arrive at 5:40 and we miss the first seating – come back in an hour they say. So we pop over to the Milk Bar around the corner to pick up some treats while we wait. The restaurant is packed and it […]

November 5, 2014 Quick’s Hole Tavern: A Journey Through Portugal

Last week I was invited to attend a dinner at Quick’s Hole Tavern. I had been to Quick’s Hole Taqueria, but never the tavern. To be honest, I didn’t even know it existed, and it’s right around the corner! Lucky for me, I was able to sit with my friend and fellow foodie Saba and […]

November 4, 2014 Gilt City: Chef’s Tasting Menu at Ribelle

You may have heard of Ribelle (pronounced rih-BELL-ay), a small restaurant in Washington Square that has been heating up Brookline’s dining scene. You may have even seen that Globe columnist Devra First gave Tim Maslow a rare 4 stars last year. Maslow started his career by working his way up the ranks at the Momofuku […]

November 3, 2014 Doughnut Plant

We have always hit up the Doughnut Plant at their flagship lower east side location, but since we were staying in Soho this time around, we decided to pay a visit to the Hotel Chelsea location just a few blocks away from our hotel. The walls are festively decorated with “doughnuts” and there are a […]

October 24, 2014 Temazcal

It was an unusually warm evening, so we decided to walk to Temazcal from our office.  The space is beautiful, with great water views. It was a little too chilly for eating outside, but they have a lovely patio. The restaurant has two locations, one in the Seaport and the other in Lynnfield. Both restaurants […]

October 21, 2014 Wheelhouse

Mark and I went out for my birthday lunch at Wheelhouse. They had been on our radar for the past few months (they recently opened)…but you know how that lunch rut goes: you have 5 minutes to duck out to the closest place next to your office…. (or is that just me?) The good news […]
