September 3, 2014 Miller’s Twist

This post seems to have missed the whole Philly set of posts. No matter! When you go to Philly, one of the must try things (besides a cheese steak) is a pretzel. You’ve had a pretzel before, maybe Auntie Annies? You can’t even compare these to other pretzels you’ve had. Located in the Reading Terminal Market, […]

September 1, 2014 Alta Strada

M and I went to Alta Strada after the Jeni’s Ice Cream Demo. It was clearing out as it was on the later side, so we had the full attention of our waiter. I had the Spicy Chitarra with Lobster, Shrimp, Tomato, and Basil ($23). It was a little spicy, but really delicious. The pasta […]

August 29, 2014 The Standard Baking Company

We spent the day in Portland, getting lunch and walking around. We stopped into the Standard Baking Co. and I was in love instantly. With so many delicious things behind the counter, it was hard to choose what to get. I wanted one of everything! The chocolate hazelnut tart was sweet but not too sweet. […]

August 28, 2014 Sinclair

We headed over to Harvard Square on Sunday afternoon for brunch. We missed the window to sit outside, and they unfortunately closed their patio. We grabbed a corner table inside. You may know the Sinclair as a live music venue, but have you tried their food? No donut holes, bummer. So we go with the […]

August 27, 2014 Morning in Paris

On a recent weekend  trip to Maine, to Kennebunkport, we had some time to kill so we stopped in to Morning in Paris. I had been reading about how they sold macarons and had to stop in to try them out. The inside is cute, if not a little cramped at the tables. The outside […]

In 1996 he opened up his first restaurant, 51 Lincoln which has won numerous awards over the years. Waban Kitchen is located right […]

August 15, 2014 Totto Ramen

Totto Ramen is a small shop on Brighton Ave., sandwiched between a hair salon and Tavern on the Square. There’s no place to wait inside, so we wait on the street – looking at signs that say no takeout, no delivery and cash only. Standing out on the street brings back memories of when Tavern […]

August 11, 2014 Organic Living Superfoods at Liquid Art House

Organic Living Superfoods started in 2012 by Bruce Namenson (former partner/owner of the Prana Café) and Craig Singer, a former criminal attorney. I met Craig at a Good Ones party and we decided to meet up at Liquid Art House so that he could tell me a bit more about his products. I forewarned him […]
