August 11, 2014 Quicks Hole

We popped down to the Cape for the weekend and had to stop at one of my favorite restaurants, Quicks Hole in Woods Hole. A popular destination for locals, tourists and those catching the ferry to MV, Quicks Hole offers fresh seafood tacos that are to die for. Parking can be scarce here so plan […]

August 8, 2014 Portland Lobster Company

On our way up to Kennebunport for the weekend, we stopped in Portland for lunch. Located on a fence between Long Wharf and the Portland Lobster Company on Commercial Street in the Old Port, people put padlocks (love locks) to symbolize their love for one another. We order inside at the counter and they give […]

August 1, 2014 The Clam Shack

On a recent trip to Kennebunkport, Maine, we stayed at Hidden Pond. Saturday was grey and it was drizzling, but we didn’t let that stop us from exploring the town. This was outside one of the restaurants! We stopped into The Clam Shack just before it got slammed with the lunch rush. They serve everything […]

July 28, 2014 Shojo

I was at a meeting by South Station and needed a bite to eat. I had been hearing good things about Shojo in Chinatown and decided to give it a spin. Shojo’s food is a modern take on Japanese food with tapas style dishes meant for sharing. We sat at a hightop by the window. […]

July 24, 2014 Tossed

Mark had some Level Up cash at Tossed, so we ventured over there for lunch. While they are known for their salads, they also have wraps, paninis, soups and artisanal sandwiches. They  have a bunch of salads to choose from on the menu, but I choose to make my own. I think this is where […]

July 18, 2014 Fairsted Kitchen

I met my friend Julia after her golf lesson at Fairsted Kitchen. My friends had been raving about it, and I knew it was time to get in and try it for myself. They have a great little bar where they mix up inventive cocktails. The dining room is cozy and the ambiance makes you […]

July 17, 2014 Commonwealth

After a late meeting, we headed over to Commonwealth for a bite to eat. Commonwealth is owned and operated by Chef Nookie Postal, former executive chef at Fenway Park. We start off with a cheese plate – they have two of my favorites: Ascutney Mountain ($7) and  Landaff ($7). The jam is housemade and delicious […]

July 14, 2014 The Gallows

Stop 6 of our burger research for Tastetrekkers lands us at The Gallows. (See Trade, LAH, jm Curley, Gibbet Hill Grill, Back Bay Social Club) Every time we go to The Gallows, it’s packed. Last time we stopped in for a drink we could barely maneuver around the bar area. For some reason this Monday […]
