23/02/10 Mirabelle’s (Vermont)

A cute little shop in downtown Burlington, right off the main strip. It’s cute. There are some tables, you can order breakfast or lunch. They have sandwiches, soups and paninis. We ordered some pastries from the counter, there were so many choices. They have whole pies and cakes in the case as well as cupcakes, […]

22/02/10 Wally’s Place-Bagel and Deli

Ok, I’ll admit that I am a food snob. But how can that really be if some of my favorite places are next to or in gas stations? (My other favorite places to get calzones is Country Pizza in Lincoln-which happens to share the same space as a Mobil gas station. Try the Chicken Parm […]

22/02/10 La Brioche Bakery (Vermont)

La Brioche is the New England Culinary School’s bakery. Students come in an prepare foods to be sold here (students also work the counter). The website says that they arrive at 4am to start making pastries. We got the apple strudel, the raspberry twist and the lemon poppy scone. The restaurant also serves sandwiches at […]

22/02/10 Lake Champlain Chocolates (Vermont)

We stopped off at the Lake Champlain Chocolate store as we headed into the town of Stowe. It sells hot drinks, chocolate bars and pre made boxes as well as chocolates from the case. The best part is that they sell factory seconds here. They don’t look perfect but they taste just as good. The […]

21/02/10 Solstice (Vermont)

So, I wish that I had pictures to show you all of the good things that we ate here, but frankly, I would have been embarrassed. Solstice is located in the Stowe Mountain Lodge Hotel. You drive up the mountain and come up to this giant wooden ski castle. It would be hard not to […]

21/02/10 Verrill Farm

In my opinion, Verrill Farm makes one of THE best apple pies I’ve ever had. I have been going to Verrill Farm for about the last 10 years. In 2008 they had a fire and I didn’t know what I was going to do for a time. They set up a temporary space where they […]

21/02/10 Simon Pearce (Vermont)

So if you can’t afford to buy a set of glasses, at $55 a glass, a nice alternative to shopping is lunch! Located at the Mill in Quechee, Simon Pearce offers picturesque views to it’s diners and shoppers. We arrive at 1:45pm and have a 30 minute wait. We look around, go downstairs to see […]

20/02/10 Tashi Delek (Brookline)

If I asked any of my friends if they wanted to go out for Tibetan food, I’m pretty sure they’d look at me like I was crazy-they’d say “we’re daring…not that daring!” Me, I’ve been here twice and love it! As I have stated before, I love Chronicle. I saw this place featured on it […]

20/02/10 Nordstrom’s Cafe Bistro

This visit to the Cafe Bistro was much better than the last time. We sat in a sunny booth near the window. We arrived at about 1:15pm and it was crowded-and loud! The booth was very clean, you can bet that I was going to inspect every inch after last time. So I ordered the […]

17/02/10 Berryline

I love Pinkberry. I first had it in New York City a few years ago. Here’s the idea: “Why does Pinkberry taste so delicious? Our frozen yogurt recipe is top secret, but our Swirly Goodness is made with real nonfat milk and real nonfat yogurt that has been certified by the National Yogurt Association to […]
