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 […]

We were on a mad dash from our hotel on 58th to get to 53rd to get a CoolHaus sandwich before they closed up shop. Follow them on Twitter and give them the “word of the day” to get $1 of 2 sandwiches. I get the chocolate chip cookie with the lime ice cream. We […]

Crumbs opened a location in the Natick Mall, upstairs in the newer wing of the mall. I had to attend a party, so I picked up the Best Seller Taste Pack – how cute are these? I thought that with this pack there would be something for everyone – m&m, vanilla coconut, grasshopper, oreo, red […]

I have been stalking trying to find the Frozen Hoagies truck for some time now.  They set up shop in the evenings in Copley, but either they have been off the street or I have been too busy to get down there. So I finally made it home early enough to jump in the car […]

Making these cupcakes is a snap! I got the idea from Pinterest. Chocolate cupcakes made from a mix – follow directions on the box. The eyes came pre made, I bought them at target and then just used white icing to create the bandages. These are so easy to make and look super cute! I […]

Crumbs Boston, yes, it is sad that it has taken me this long to get to you…you’ve been open for months…since March of this year!  Crumbs recently opened another location in the Burlington Mall. Crumbs is known for their large sized cupcakes and inventive takes on flavors….just make sure not to look at the calorie […]

I had seen Cheryl’s cookies on one of those discount sites, Groupon, Living Social, I get so many of those emails I can’t even remember where I bought it. I had heard that these were my boss’ favorite cookies, so I figured I would try them out and see what the fuss was all about. […]

April 2011 we went to the Cafe Fleuri chocolate bar and had a less than stellar experience. The GM kindly responded to my complaints, and offered me a certificate of donation-complimentary brunch for two. Meanwhile, it took many months to coordinate and lots of phone tag. We finally went back in October-going with the hopes […]
