January 21, 2014 Tomato Charlie’s

After eating so many heavy, rich dinners, we decide to go casual one night. Tomato Charlie’s  is located on the main drag and serves excellent thin crust pizza. They have patio seating under umbrellas and covered seating inside the restaurant on the other side of the sidewalk. You can’t beat dinner for 2 for $22. […]

January 14, 2014 The Old Man and the Sea

The Old Man and the Sea is located quite a distance from the high rise hotels (it is past the airport). To attract more patrons, they provide a one way ride to the restaurant from your hotel and you pay the taxi driver on the way home (around $30). We have a great taxi driver […]

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 […]

January 6, 2014 Ventanas del Mar at Tierra del Sol

When we picked Ventanas del Mar, we thought it was going to be like some of the places we went to in Cabo. It wasn’t. Tierra del Sol is a private gated community where you can buy or rent homes. When we arrive, it seems desolate- there is no one when we pull up to […]

It’s a lovely restaurant with covered and outdoor seating. It has a casual atmosphere with a man playing guitar and serenading you while you eat your […]

October 3, 2013 Flat Patties

Flat Patties is located just steps from the Harvard Square T stop. They are a cute little place with outdoor seating in the summer time as well as a balcony up top if you want to eat in. Their shakes are delicious, so far I’ve done coffee and strawberry and have yet to be disappointed. […]

May 20, 2013 Taberna de Haro

Some places I post right away, and for some reason, some just sit in my draft box for ages. To give you an idea of how long this has been sitting in my draft box, we went here PRE expansion. It only took me 10 years of living in Brookline to go here, why should […]
