March 26, 2014 Sorisso Trattoria

A friend of mine and I took a calligraphy class in the leather district and decided to grab a bite just around the corner at Sorriso. In January, Sorriso, and it’s sister restaurant, Les Zygomates, were bought by Anthony Botta. Botta teamed up with his brother in law, Mark Tosi, and they are planning on […]

March 20, 2014 Piperi

On Friday, the weather had let up, so I took a walk up to Piperi in Government Center. I had driven/walked by this place many times before, but never really had the chance to stop by. My real job keeps me pretty busy and most days, I’m lucky to get out of the office and […]

February 27, 2014 Siam Bistro

Located in the financial district, Siam Bistro offers authentic Thai cuisine. We grabbed takeout – ordered through GrubHub, and it was ready by the time we got there. Bulgoki: A very famous Korean beef dish with sliced onions, mushrooms, sesame seed and scallion in sweet soy bulgoki sauce. The meat didn’t look like beef, it […]

February 24, 2014 Chocolate Tour with Old Town Trolley

This past weekend I was invited to go on a chocolate tour with Old Town Trolley Tours – they’re now in their 16th season! You’ve probably seen those orange and green trolleys zipping around town. Most people use Old Town trolley as a hop on hop off tour of the city, but on Saturdays, they […]

February 6, 2014 Miel Brasserie Provencale

After our food demo at Petit Robert, we head over to the InterContinental for lunch. With the weather getting worse, we figured that we would rather be at our next destination instead of risking lunch at Petit Robert and missing our spa appointments. It’s well past lunch time, so we have the restaurant almost to […]

February 4, 2014 Thai’s Bistro

So my two coworkers and I are standing in line waiting to order lunch. We order and someone calls out, “Next”. The guy behind us looks at us, as if to say, “is that you?”, to which I say that we are all set. He then says, “oh, I wasn’t ready…I’m not sure what to […]

Located on the Greenway, at the end of Milk Street,  in the summer time, they have a great outdoor patio. We stopped in on a Saturday, on the […]

January 4, 2014 Rose Kennedy Greenway Carousel

Just before the new year, we were able to catch a ride on the carousel. Rides are $3 each and a book of 10 tickets can be purchased for $25. They will be closed 1/1/14- 4/18/14 but will re open for April school vacation week! They began construction of the carousel in March of 2013 […]

December 30, 2013 Legal Harborside

It’s Christmas and we decided to have our dinner at Legal Harborside with my parents. The streets are empty and we are able to find a parking spot on the street. Legal’s first floor is a casual atmosphere where the second floor is more of a formal dining room. We opt for the first floor […]

December 16, 2013 Foumami

Foumami is one of my go to spots for lunch these days. I convinced myself that ribeye sandwiches aren’t healthy to get every day (even though they are mighty delicious), and I decided to branch out and try new things here. The glass noodle salad above($7.55) comes with  glass noodles, spinach, carrots, egg omelet, wood […]
