March 31, 2011 Woodward at the Ames Hotel

I bought a buywithme.com coupon for a three-course prix fixe dinner plus a cocktail for two for $80. Wary of prix fixe dinners, I bought one anyway. Met a friend there on a Tuesday night, at 7:30, the after work crowd was still going at full tilt. The music was blaring and we sat at […]

August 11, 2010 KO Prime

Located in the Nine Zero hotel, a Kimpton hotel, is KO Prime, a Ken Oringer venture (Oringer also owns Clio, Uni, La Verdad and Toro). Kimpton hotels are small boutique hotels, each with a different theme- the Nine Zero’s theme is design. The doorman/valet is friendly and greets me as I pull up. Walking in […]

June 30, 2010 Max and Dylans

Max and Dylan’s is where the old West Street Bar used to be-around the corner from the Boston Common movie theater. It is weird to go there and see the place with the lights on when you remember the sketchy things that happened there in the dark. The decor is a little odd while you […]

June 7, 2010 Bakers Best

Located on Lincoln Street in Newton Highlands, this is the place to see and be seen. The parking can be tough sometimes-it’s on street meter parking. There is a lot down the street that has meters for longer periods of time, but come early to leave plenty of time to drive around looking for a […]

April 5, 2010 Zenna Noodle Bar

This might be my go-to Asian take out place these days. Pictured above are the Vietnamese Spring Rolls. So good-and not greasy. There is crab inside as well as a variety of veggies and clear noodles. I could eat a dozen of these, but usually I settle for one order with some chicken fried rice […]

March 3, 2010 Zaps

**8/10 It looks like Zaps is closed, a sign posted on the door says its closed for renovations but the website has been taken down and there have been reports that the phone is disconnected. I saw this place on Chronicle and decided to try it out. I must admit that I probably have driven […]

February 26, 2010 Thompson’s Flour Shop Bakery (Vermont)

When we came upon this place, we thought, ‘what a cute little place’. It has about 8 tables and a seating area with a couch and a lounger. It’s like a mom and pop version of Starbucks, Vermont style. There were people just sitting eating lunch, some relaxing over a hot cup of coffee and […]

February 24, 2010 The Shed (Vermont)

I have been going to the Shed for about 15 years. I love their hamburgers. 6oz of meat served on a toasted english muffin-delicious!! I had been searching for their website online but only came across reviews for the place. They weren’t good for the most part. (Trip Advisor, Pubcrawler, Frommers, Yelp ) I always […]

February 23, 2010 Butler’s Restaurant and Tavern (Vermont)

Essex is about 10 minutes from Burlington. The Essex hotel is part of the culinary institute, students make all the food that is served in the restaurant. The hotel is charming. Butler’s tavern is the casual lunch area, the formal area I assume is only for dinner. I had heard mixed reviews about this place. […]

February 20, 2010 Tashi Delek (Brookline)

If I asked any of my friends if they wanted to go out for Tibetan food, I’m pretty sure they’d look at me like I was crazy-they’d say “we’re daring…not that daring!” Me, I’ve been here twice and love it! As I have stated before, I love Chronicle. I saw this place featured on it […]
