May 12, 2014 Franklin Fountain

Franklin Fountain has been on my “must go to” list for some time now. I had heard about it years ago on some food show, and now that we were finally in Philly, how could I pass up heading over? Mind you, the day that we decided to go on this Franklin Fountain mission, it […]

I’m rarely in Cambridge – anything across the bridge seems like a whole other continent…and yet, I find myself at Toscanini’s twice in two weeks. And what a treat it is! Check out my Favecast video here: http://favecast.com/237FLqtY68 Here are some of the flavors: French Vanilla, Cake Batter, Sweet Cream, Malted Vanilla, Lemon Vanilla Belgian […]

April 3, 2014 Graeter’s

What do you get for someone that has everything? Ice cream. Graeter’s (if you haven’t heard about them) is an ice cream company out of Cincinnati, OH. Order a 6 pack for $60 or a 12 pack for $120, you can mix and match your flavors. Graeter’s creates its ice cream 2 gallons at a […]

January 28, 2014 Jeni’s

Jeni’s ice cream is made in Columbus, OH. Apparently they make great ice cream in Ohio, ’cause my other favorite ice cream is Graeter’s ice cream, and they are located in Cincinnati, OH. My new favorite store, Bees Knees, carries a bunch of flavors in the jeni’s line. There is no better flavor combination than […]

January 13, 2014 Gelatissimo

After dinner at Ventanas del Mar, we went back to the hotel area and grabbed a gelato at Gelatissimo. Pay first at the back counter and then bring your receipt up to the gelato bar to place your order. The place feels more like a night club than a gelato store, grab some seats at […]

October 25, 2013 Hester Street Fair

We spent the day wandering around the city going to all the outdoor flea markets and farmers markets. Hester Street Fair is located in lower Manhattan at the corner of Essex and Hester. It’s a relatively small market in comparison to let’s say the Brooklyn Flea, but they pack a lot of great things into […]

October 17, 2013 Coolhaus

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 […]

August 27, 2013 Cookie Monstah

I’ve been trying to get to the Cookie Monstah for some time now, and for one reason or another, it just hasn’t happened…..until now. Here’s there schedule: I stopped over on Wednesday to see them at Clarendon between Boylston and Newbury. I picked the shortcake – sugared sugar cookies with strawberry ice cream. Ice cream […]

July 25, 2013 Duxbury for the Day

Bored with nothing to do one afternoon, we decided to jump in the car and go for a drive. We ended up in Duxbury – and while it was sweltering hot, we didn’t go to the beach, we went out for lunch. We stopped at Snug Harbor Fish Company. There were a few people eating […]

June 4, 2013 Frozen Hoagies

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 […]
