December 31, 2016 Daikanyama

When you have little ones at home, sometimes it’s hard to rally and do simple things like get out to the mall. The holiday season snuck up on me this year. I cringed when I saw the Christmas decorations going up in October and then BAM, Thanksgiving, Christmas, oh wait, it’s NYE! I was behind […]

December 29, 2016 40 Carrots

I’ve been dining at department stores lately. Recently we had a girl’s day out at 40 Carrots in Bloomingdale’s in the Chestnut Hill Mall. A cute little upscale cafe, perfect for a quick bite before heading out for round 2 of shopping. Kim had to get the boxed water… They have a well rounded menu, […]

Sometimes, well for me these days it’s a lot of the time, I just don’t feel like cooking. So a great place to stop and pick up dinner is Comella’s in Chestnut Hill. They make these family size pasta “messes” that will be sure to satisfy your family. Just you? Don’t worry, their messes come […]

November 10, 2016 Oath Craft Pizza

Another post about another pizza place? Oath Craft pizza isn’t just another pizza place, they make delicious craft pizza that cooks in 90 seconds. You can get a whole pizza (11″) or a half pizza, pick from their craft pizzas or make your own “selfie” pizza. Some of my favorite pizzas that I tried were: […]

April 5, 2016 Pepe’s Pizza

In December, Pepe’s pizza opened in the Chestnut Hill Mall. The opening was greatly anticipated and the lines for both dine in and take out were long! We got there early (on day 2 of being open) and were close to the front of the line – luckily we were able to get a seat […]

March 22, 2016 Kane’s Donuts Pop Up at The Street

I didn’t know I even craved donuts that much until Kane’s Donuts took over the pop up shop at The Street in Chestnut Hill. As soon as you walk in, not only are you greeted with a smile and a friendly hello, but you are also greeted with a sugar high. The smell of the […]

February 18, 2016 Shake Shack

A couple of friends and I met up at Shake Shack in Chestnut Hill to check out their new chicken sandwich. The “chick’n shack” ($6.95) is 100% all natural cage free chicken served on a non GMO bun.  It’s crisped up and served with lettuce, pickles and a buttermilk herb mayo. Mayo isn’t my thing, […]

December 10, 2015 Pinkberry

Did you know that Pinkberry serves breakfast? I was pumped to try it out since Pinkberry is my favorite yogurt place. I ordered the acai bowl with granola and raspberries and a Barrington coffee. The coffee prep was impressive, the girl behind the counter made if with a French press. The acai bowl on the other […]

December 3, 2015 Morano Gelato

We headed over to the Chestnut Hill mall to get some gelato at Morano Gelato. Morano is a New England based company that makes gelato in small batches. There’s a large window where, if you’re lucky, you can catch a glimpse of them making the gelato. What is gelato? It’s Italian ice cream that has much […]
