30/03/13 Mei Mei Street Kitchen

Mei Mei Street Kitchen may be one of my favorite food trucks. Their dumplings made Boston Magazine’s Best Dumpling List. And in even better news, they are getting a brick and mortar location (see the blog post here). We are hoping that they are going in to the space that was formerly My Brothers Pizza, […]

28/03/13 Stanhope Grill

We went out to the Stanhope Grille for a midweek birthday dinner. The Back Bay Hotel was recently bought out by the Loews Group. The restaurant remained the same as I remembered it from years back. Our server Greg was wonderful, he was professional, knew his specials, and was personable. He is a great example […]

26/03/13 Windsor Dum Sum

I had seen Boston Magazine’s Best Dumpling article, and decided to get a few friends together to go to the Windsor Dim Sum Cafe to try their dumplings. Located in Chinatown, on the second floor, this place is always jam packed. There are a few larger tables, so many times, they ask you if you […]

24/03/13 Tasty Burger

This one has been sitting in my photos for months now, I just stumbled upon it. I won’t write a full review, just a quick thought. Tasty Burger’s special “Hanukkah Burger”, an all beef patty topped with a potato cake and apple sauce. Not as pretty as their twitter pic that first made me salivate […]

22/03/13 The Duck

Every few months we meet my cousins half way between Boston and CT for a little lunch to catch up on life. This time, we met up in Sturbridge at The Duck. For some reason, my navigation in the car sent us to the completely wrong place….so we were running a bit late. It was […]

20/03/13 Vermont for Non Skiers

We decided to take a trip up to Stowe. It was just after the blizzard like weather here, so it took us an hour just to get out of Boston and onto the highway. The ride wasn’t great, this is what our car looked like after being two hours on the road, covered in an […]

15/03/13 Zocalo

Located in the Back Bay, right near my office, we like to go there for lunch when we have time to sit, which is rare. The service here always leaves us wanting more. One time, we went for lunch, five of us, and it was a good thing that we checked our bill because there […]

12/03/13 Taste of Seamless

Some of you may have seen the post on Rita’s catering. If not, you can see it here: http://dgrubs.wordpress.com/tag/catering/ Through them, I was invited to Taste of Seamless, an event on March 6th at the State Room. Traffic was a nightmare! Getting from Back Bay to 60 State took about 25 minutes, and was a […]

11/03/13 16 Handles

16 Handles recently opened in Coolidge Corner. We stopped by one afternoon after shopping at Trader Joe’s. TJ’s on the weekend is like the 7th circle of hell, no joke: it’s crowded, people are leaving carts in the middle of the aisle and walking away, people are bumping into you, people are oblivious that there […]

08/03/13 Road trip to Maine

On a random Saturday we decided to go on a road trip to Maine. We picked out a few new places that looked good and we were on our way! First stop, Dean’s Sweets in Portland. Located at 82 Middle Street, this tiny shop sells hand made truffles. It’s around the corner from Duck Fat […]
