15/03/11 Cookie Sandiwch Co.

I can’t remember what magazine I saw these in, but decided they looked good enough to order. Two cookies with frosting sandwiched in between. I bought the assorted half dozen for $18. The Red Velvet. “Divine and scrumptious Ghirardelli double chocolate chip red velvet cookies made with premium white chocolate morsels, sandwiched together with our […]

14/03/11 A quick overnight in New York

We had to take an unexpected trip to New York. We stayed at the London Hotel in mid-town (151 West 54th St). It’s a really great location, and the Carnegie Deli is just a block away. There is also as Hertz location less than a block away if you need to rent a car. The […]

14/03/11 Roxy’s Grilled Cheese

I have been anxiously awaiting Roxy’s Gourmet Grilled Cheese to open. I avoided their opening night, and thank goodness I did. From pictures on twitter, the line was around the block! We decided to go last week during lunch time. They park in Cleveland Circle near the old, closed movie theater. There is ample parking […]

11/03/11 Mattiluxe

We have some good (long-time) friends who have everything. They just got married this past June-and received all the gifts that go with a wedding. They just moved into their first condo and invited us over to see the new place. What to get the couple that has everything? Flowers, done it. Champagne? They have […]

11/03/11 Dumpling Cafe

The pork and leek dumpligs-pan fried (+0.25) were quite flavorful and the wonton skins were much thinner than the ones at Gourmet Dumpling House. The steamed buns with pork ($6.95) were also thin. When you cut them open all the juices spilled out, but we used our scallion pancakes to soak it up-YUM! The scallion […]

11/03/11 Treat Cupcakes

When you babysit little kids, it’s hard to find things to do if it’s raining out. I had blogged before about Treat cupcakes and they graciously sent me a coupon for 2 free make your own cupcakes. We decided that today would be the perfect day! We arrived at around 10am. We were the only […]

On Wednesdays, they have this great promotion that I had seen before on Chronice.In addition, the Bristol won the 2011 KO Prime burger battle for the second year in a row. Burgers and Burgundy Wednesdays Choose from four […]

09/03/11 Genki Ya

I had been hearing about Genki Ya from my friends who live in Brookline-they rave about it. The draw to this place is that they have organic sushi and you can get the rolls made with brown rice as a healthier option. The restaurant is pretty small, there is a sushi counter and a few […]

09/03/11 Bricco

Located on Hanover Street in the North End, I was looking forward to making a second trip to Bricco, this time, for restaurant week. In general I think people love or hate restaurant week. The premise is that for $30 you can get a 3 course dinner or lunch for $20. It used to be […]

08/03/11 MET Back Bay

We met friends at the MET Back Bay for dinner a few weeks ago. Located on the corner of Dartmouth and Newbury Street, this place is much homier than the other locations. You walk in to the hostess stand and there is a staircase going up and one going down. Bars are located on both […]
