July 3, 2013 Quicks Hole

We spent the weekend down at the Cape. It was an unexpected sunny day, so we decided to head down to Woods Hole for lunch. We even managed to get a parking spot right out front, what luck! We haven’t been to Quick’s Hole in quite some time, but loved the freshness of the food, […]

April 24, 2013 BoMa

Last week my sister in law and I went out for a bite to eat at BoMa in the South End. Right on Washington Street, the restaurant has large windows in the front that let in tons of light. We sat at a high top table near the front, which was ok early in the […]

November 3, 2011 Linda Bean’s Maine Kitchen and Topside Tavern

I first head about Linda Bean  on Chronicle. They recently opened their restaurant across the street from the flagship L.L. Bean store in Freeport, Maine-quite fitting as Linda is the granddaughter of L.L Bean. The day was dark and it rained off and on, but we were lucky that the rain held off while we […]

February 22, 2011 A Weekend in Maryland

Who’s excited to drive around all weekend in this nifty whip?!? The Nissan Cube! Yikes!! This was my ‘upgrade’ from a compact car….not so sure if our definition of upgrade is the same…Driving this hot number around was like driving a Fred Flinstone car! We start the weekend off at Phillips seafood for dinner located […]

January 26, 2011 Island Creek Oyster Bar

Island Creek Oysters are based out of Duxbury, Massachusetts and their new restaurant in the Hotel Commonwealth helps them spotlight (and highlight) their brand. Island Creek Oyster Bar is located in the old space that Great Bay used to occupy. The space is pretty large and open. The front area has a bar (and lounge, […]

January 13, 2011 Legal C Bar

Legal C Bar in the Legacy Place Mall in Dedham is a mix of the Legal Sea Foods you know and love mixed with a little something new. I went there for lunch on a weekday afternoon and it was packed. Inside, it is spacious with a balcony seating area which I love-it gives you […]

November 18, 2010 Anthonys Pier 4

In its heyday, Anthony’s Pier 4 was the place to see and be seen. Hundreds of famous people came here for the upscale dining experience. Their faces, and the face of the founder, Anthony Athanas (who passed in 2005) are immortalized in the pictures on the wall. Athanas was an Albanian immigrant that came to […]

September 27, 2010 Another weekend down Cape

I love the cape after Labor day-all the tourists are long gone-and you have the whole place to yourself. No waiting in line for dinner for an hour, no crowded lines in stores, no more commotion outside the black dog store-you get the point. So here are a few of the places that we stopped […]

July 13, 2010 A Weekend in Cape Cod

The weekend begins with the hunt for a good lobster roll on Saturday afternoon. We decided to stop at the Fish Market in Falmouth-I had heard good things about them. They are located at 157 Teaticket Highway in Falmouth. 1-800 628-0045.This place is a fish market, not a restaurant, but they have take out available. […]

July 1, 2010 A Weekend in Newport, Rhode Island

We leave on Friday, late morning, and check into the hotel: The Newport Harbor Hotel (49 America’s Cup Avenue, Newport RI). From Boston it is about a 90 minute drive-smooth sailing until you actually try to get into Newport where there is heavy traffic. It’s one of those situations where you’re sitting at an intersection-the […]
