June 14, 2017 Poke City

Leah and I met up with fellow food blogger Fiona, from Gourmet Pigs, for lunch at Poke City. Poke is blowing up on the restaurant scene and I couldn’t wait to check it out. Leah had been before and Fiona had been to a different Poke restaurant – I just wanted to see what those […]

June 13, 2017 Island Creek Oyster Bar

Following up on yesterday’s Toasts and Bowls post, I wanted to elaborate on our lunch at Island Creek Oyster Bar. We went to the Burlington location for lunch: equally glamorous as the city location but less crowded. Yay, one vote for suburbia! How beautiful is this mahi-mahi mahi-mahi crudo? ($12) The dish was light, clean […]

June 12, 2017 Toasts and Bowls

Toasts and bowls seem to be very popular these days. Maybe because they are quick and easy, maybe because they are just a few delicious bites of pure bliss. Leah and I rounded up a few places around the city that offer toasts and bowls from the simplest to the very decadent. There’s something for […]

June 9, 2017 Stephen Anthony’s

I’m always on the hunt for a new breakfast place. We recently came upon Stephen Anthony’s – in business for the last 30 years, and at its current location since 1998. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Inside, it is definitely dated. It has an old time feel to it. Breakfasts are simple and the […]

June 7, 2017 Dudley Chateau

Growing up, I was pretty proud that I had never been to the town bar, the Dudley Chateau. Since moving back to the suburbs, I can’t even tell you the amount of times I’ve been there. And I brought kids. Townie bar with children. Yup, I’ve turned into that person. The bar is located on […]

June 6, 2017 RFK Kitchen

Apparently my mother and I had the same idea, we had both been wanting to try out RFK Kitchen in Needham. So when her birthday came around this year, obviously we decided to try it out. Make sure to make a reservation, because this place gets packed! There’s an open dining room, and if you […]

June 5, 2017 Little Pusan

I think I may have said this before, but Maynard is like the land that Monster forgot. One night while the suburban ladies were getting together and drinking wine, I was saying that I felt like the thing I missed most since moving out to the ‘burbs was good ethnic food. My neighbor then RAVED […]

June 1, 2017 Monument Restaurant and Tavern

As we were driving through Charlestown to get to Monument, I was telling my friend about this great little Italian place my husband and I used to love coming to, but how it had been ages since we had been there. As we pull up, I felt like the place had a familiar feel to […]

May 31, 2017 VERTS

I recently had the opportunity to try out VERTS Mediterranean Grill with my girls from Go Local Boston. They have two locations in Boston, the Financial District down on Summer Street and the location we visited in the Back Bay on Boylston at Clarendon. They are also planning on opening a location at Washington and School […]
