December 4, 2013 80 Thoreau

This is another one of those posts that slipped through the cracks. We went to 80 Thoreau almost a year ago, but I never posted about it. So here is it! Locaed on the second floor on an old train depot in Concord, 80 Thoreau brings fine dining to the suburbs. The maitre d’ is […]

November 5, 2013 Remi

We were exhausted after running around the whole day, so we decided to eat relatively close to the hotel. We happened upon Remi for dinner. They have a very colorful decor with high ceilings – really quite stunning. I liked that the bread basket had so many options. A little goat cheese spread for the […]

October 24, 2013 Ribelle

Ribelle glows in bright red neon at night, the only thing to alert you that this nondescript building in Washington Squsre is Tim Maslow’s new restaurant. Ribelle, pronounced Ri-bell-ay, means rebel in Italian. We arrive around 7 on Wednesday to a half full restaurant, which is surprising. I’m obsessed with the lighting fixtures and the […]

July 11, 2013 San Diego

It was raining like crazy when we were supposed to take off to go to San Diego. The traffic was a nightmare – you would think that New Englanders would be used to this weather, but never fail – when it rains, people drive like idiots. The crew was stuck in traffic, coming from Quincy. […]

May 27, 2013 Menton

I have no idea why I didn’t post about this when we went, it’s embarrassing to say how long this has been sitting in my drafts folder, getting pushed down farther and farther in the queue. And it’s not because we didn’t LOVE the meal, because we did. We went to Menton November 12, 2011. […]

June 29, 2011 Vermont

Welcome to four days of complete relaxation. We went up to Stowe, Vermont, to the Stowe Mountain Lodge. We have been here in the winter time, and decided to see what summer was like. Our first reaction…it’s so….green! We have a view of the front driveway from our room, with the mountains in the back. […]

March 31, 2011 Asana (2nd visit)

I went back to Asana for the second time in a month, just to see if I really did like it there as much as I thought I did. They were running their restaurant week menu the whole month of March. I went in with best intentions of ordering off the restaurant menu week, but….in […]

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 […]

August 4, 2010 Elephant Walk-Boston

I love this place. I think that every time we take people here they are a little hesitant. When you hear that you’re going to a French Cambodian restaurant, I don’t think you know what to expect. Located in the St. Mary’s area of Brookline/Boston, the Elephant Walk is a refreshing change of pace. They […]
