December 31, 2013 Anthem Bar and Kitchen

We had our holiday party at Anthem on a Thursday night. When we were looking for a venue (we were late to the game – we started after Thanksgiving!) I got a mass email from the events team (they outsource their event planning) saying that a day had opened up and the first person to […]

December 30, 2013 Legal Harborside

It’s Christmas and we decided to have our dinner at Legal Harborside with my parents. The streets are empty and we are able to find a parking spot on the street. Legal’s first floor is a casual atmosphere where the second floor is more of a formal dining room. We opt for the first floor […]

December 23, 2013 Beat Hotel

I usually agree with Devra First’s reviews, but a few days ago she gave Beat Hotel 1 1/2 stars. Located in Harvard Square, Beat Hotel, inspired by the hippie movement is a new venture from the group that brought you the Beehive. Located below ground level, Beat Hotel feels a little like your friend’s basement. […]

December 20, 2013 Wagamama

A cold day calls for soup, and in this instance, Ramen! A few coworkers and I run out to Wagamama to pick up some soup. I call ahead and am placed on hold for 5 minutes. I hang up and call back and my order is taken right away. When we head to the restaurant, […]

December 19, 2013 Mei Mei Street Kitchen (Brick and Mortar Location)

Have you been as anxious about Mei Mei Street Kitchen’s brick and mortar location opening as I have? Or maybe it’s just too cold for you to stand outside at the food truck. Either way, stop by for a bite, you won’t be sorry. Mei Mei took over a space in BU’s south campus that […]

December 18, 2013 The Local

Weekends at the Local are always crowded. We manage to score seats relatively quickly right behind the bar. The Local is a bit noisy, it is after all a bar. There is a good mix of people here, friends catching up, families with young children, and people coming in to watch the game at the […]

December 16, 2013 Foumami

Foumami is one of my go to spots for lunch these days. I convinced myself that ribeye sandwiches aren’t healthy to get every day (even though they are mighty delicious), and I decided to branch out and try new things here. The glass noodle salad above($7.55) comes with  glass noodles, spinach, carrots, egg omelet, wood […]

December 12, 2013 Upstairs on the Square

Co-owners Mary-Catherine Deibel and Deborah Hughes will close the doors to Upstairs on the Square on New Year’s Eve after being in business for over 30 years. I had my bridal shower in the Zebra room, so I wanted to make sure to go there at least one more time before they close up shop. […]

December 10, 2013 Cooked Goose

Located just a few minutes from the Ocean House, the Cooked Goose is a cute little restaurant where everyone seems to stops in. The place was fairly crowded, we had to wait about 5 minutes for a seat, and throughout the whole meal, all the tables were full. They do have counter service and a […]
