September 25, 2014 State Park

Julia and I met in Cambridge for an event and headed over to State Park afterwards for dinner. State Park is a new restaurant opened by the team behind Hungry Mother. State Park is a drastic contrast to the more upscale Hungry Mother, just around the corner – some might even consider it a dive […]

September 24, 2014 Livia’s Dish

  We met Ruth and Joe, my cousins, in Worcester for our monthly meal together. We headed out to a new spot, Livia’s dish. We are usually horribly late, but today we are here first. We sit and look over the menu while we wait for our dining companions to arrive. The decor inside is […]

September 22, 2014 Gracie’s

When we finally got up to Stowe Mountain Lodge in Vermont, we decided to go out for dinner. Looking for something casual, we decided on Gracie’s. I hadn’t been there since I was a kid, and that was at their old location in town. Closer to the hotel, Gracie’s is a popular casual dining spot […]

September 18, 2014 Lou’s

  On our way up to Vermont this year, we decided to stop at Dartmouth for a quick bite to eat. There was a ton of traffic getting up here – something about blasting on the side of the highway – so we were famished. Lou’s has always been a midpoint for us over the […]

September 17, 2014 Gene’s ChineseFlatbread Cafe

Mark (fortunately) forgot his lunch last week, making it an excellent opportunity to head out to Gene’s Chinese Flatbread cafe over in Downtown Crossing. This tiny restaurant is packed at lunch time – great idea to come early or late – or just take out. There are only a few items on the menu: the […]

September 15, 2014 Fairsted Kitchen

My friend Jesse moved back to Boston after being away in California for 9 years. We celebrated his move back to the bean by heading over to Fairsted Kitchen. See my previous post here. Jesse was pumped about this because it’s just steps from their new home. Of course we had the scallops, just an […]

September 8, 2014 End of Summer Party with Jugos

The Friday before Labor Day I was hoping to already be out of town – escape the students and dreaded September 1 move in (No Allston Christmas for this gal). Since I was still here, I decided to head over to Charles River Park and check out the Jugos pop up location. Ron Marco, owner […]

September 5, 2014 Latin Spoon

Latin Spoon is new to the scene this year. We caught them over at City Hall Plaza one afternoon. My coworker had the Pata Cone ($7-$9), a green plantain cone that is gluten free. Inside was avocado sauce, cheese, pink sauce and sofrito. You can get it with carnitas or chicken but my coworker picked […]
