February 10, 2014 Mija Cantina

While everyone was clearing out of the city for the snowmageddon, and old cor-worker and I were meeting for dinner in Faneuil Hall. Missing the guacamole at Zocalo, which was by our old office, we head to Mija to see if/how their guacamole stands up. Not surprising, there are only about 12 other people here. […]

December 31, 2013 Anthem Bar and Kitchen

We had our holiday party at Anthem on a Thursday night. When we were looking for a venue (we were late to the game – we started after Thanksgiving!) I got a mass email from the events team (they outsource their event planning) saying that a day had opened up and the first person to […]

December 20, 2013 Wagamama

A cold day calls for soup, and in this instance, Ramen! A few coworkers and I run out to Wagamama to pick up some soup. I call ahead and am placed on hold for 5 minutes. I hang up and call back and my order is taken right away. When we head to the restaurant, […]

December 11, 2013 Anthem

We decided to go to Anthem before the Faneuil Hall tree lighting. We arrived at 4:45pm, early bird dinner, I know! When we arrive the place was pretty packed and I overheard them saying that the wait was anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. Good thing we made a reservation. We were brought upstairs […]

November 23, 2013 Faneuil Hall Tree Lighting

Tonight was the tree lighting in Faneuil Hall. 350,000 LED lights cover the trees in Faneuil Hall. The mayor came out, along with some players from the Patriots, Keith Lockhart and singer Paula Cole. The tree is over 80ft tall and has 30,000 lights on it! It was a pretty amazing night!

November 20, 2013 MMMac N’ Cheese

Located in the food court in Quincy Market, you could very well walk right by this stall if you weren’t looking for it. Prices range from $5.50 – $9.50 for a small and $6.50 – $10.50 for a large. They make all the mac and cheese to order – wait time is under 5 minutes. […]

November 15, 2013 Boston Chowda Co.

The day was cold and rainy, which of course called for soup for lunch. I stopped into Faneuil Hall for some corn chowder from the Boston Chowda Co. The medium chowder warmed me up, it had a decent flavor and was full of corn and potatoes. The corn bread on the other hand was as […]

November 12, 2013 Walrus and Carpenter Oyster Bar

We recently moved from the Back Bay into Faneuil Hall. We’re excited to try out all the new restaurants in the area. Day 1 we go into the food court in search of lunch. We stop at the Walrus and Carpenter Oyster Bar for lobster rolls. The food court is a mad house – tourists […]

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 […]

April 10, 2010 The Chipyard

I have to admit that I love these little 2 bite cookies the most when they are fresh out of the oven. No such luck this time, but bring them home and pop them in the microwave for a few seconds and they taste fresh baked. Here are the types of cookies: Traditional Chocolate Chip […]
