Our plan: meet up at Hi Rise Bread Company on Mass. Ave and go out for ice cream afterwards. I had been wanting to try Honeycomb Creamery for so long, and get my hands on those rose gummy bears I had been seeing all over Instagram. What really happened: we showed up to Hi Rise, my […]

Located in a small strip mall in Wayland, Water Lily offers a nice selection of Chinese food. They do a ton of take out business, so it was nice to have almost the whole place to ourselves. This would be great for families and there were even people dining solo here. The staff was attentive […]

March 30, 2017 Red Robin
