November 1, 2013 Max Brenner

We are familiar with Max Brenner, we went on one of our trips to NY. This is our first trip to the location in Boston, even though they opened a few years ago. We went for a late night dessert – it was a nice night so we sat out on the patio – great […]

October 30, 2013 Foumami

I introduced Foumami to my foodie coworkers, they’re hard to impress. Located on Franklin Street, Foumami is right around the corner from Equinox. The line is long but it moves pretty quickly. People here are mostly taking out, so we have no problems getting a seat. Menus are all around, so you can figure out […]

October 29, 2013 Cafe de Boston

After seeing an article in the BBJ about cronuts coming to Boston, of course we had to see what the fuss was about. When we went the first day, they didn’t have any – so we decide to get lunch instead. There are so many options here, a hot food bar, sandwiches, a salad bar etc. […]

October 23, 2013 James Hook + Co

Lobster rolls? You bet! 🙂 On a sunny weekend, we walked over to James Hook + Co. James Hook has been an institution in Boston, some of you may remember that they had a fire in 2008 that burned their location to the ground. They sell wholesale and retail. They have tables inside as well […]

October 22, 2013 The Meatball Shop

I was so excited to try this place. We have their cookbook at home! (GUSH). So we grab dinner on the early side (they don’t take reservations) and it’s a good thing we do because the place fills up quickly! They have tables inside and outside, as well as seating at the bar. Love the […]

October 21, 2013 West End Strollers

Located in the Quincy Market food hall, West End Strollers features Middle Eastern food. My coworker introduced me to “fingers” a delicious Middle Eastern pastry. At $2.90 per piece, they are pretty pricey, but they are pretty labor intensive to make. Fingers, or Asabi as they are also called, are made from thin phyllo like […]

October 21, 2013 Le Pain Quotidien

There are so many locations all over New York City. We stopped in at the Central Park location at 58th and 7th which was close to the hotel. The place was crowded with tourists – and all the waiters were in the weeds. I started by ordering a strawberry lemonade that was so tart it […]

October 17, 2013 Salty Pig

The weather was nice so we opted for lunch out on the Salty Pig’s patio. When we arrived, it was packed, and by the time we left, there was no one else outside, we had the whole patio to ourselves! They  have sectioned off the patio with plants and really warmed up the patio, making […]

October 15, 2013 Blue Glass Cafe

Last December I saved up enough Belly points at the Blue Glass to treat my co-workers to breakfast. (Note that free breakfast is for 10 people and we bought extra bagels to supplement). Every time you swipe your Belly card you get 10 points. Here is the reward schedule for Blue Glass: Our office is […]
