27/06/13 Cinquecentro

Cinquecentro took over the old space that Rocca once occupied. Located in the South End, at 500 Harrison Street, Cinquecentro translates into 500 in Italian. Here’s why this is one of the best spots in the South End, it has a huge free parking lot next door. Everything here is bold and makes a statement, […]

24/06/13 Mei Mei Street Kitchen

Uhh..Bacon Fried Rice. Hot Damn!! Drop a poached egg…one word. Heaven. And just for fun, let’s talk about some cheddar fitters – smoked VT cheddar, local scallions and house made sriracha aioli. Three is just the right amount. Love everything that Mei Mei has been throwing at me. Was super bummed when we missed the […]

23/06/13 Radius

A few of my co-workers had never been to Radius. It will be closing on June 29th, so hurry up and get in there if you want one last burger. There is a main dining room where you can get a very upscale meal, or you can grab a seat at the communal table in […]

21/06/13 Pinocchio’s

Who doesn’t love a little 2 for $5 action? And Sicilian to boot? Done! Date night in Cambridge at Pinocchio’s. Don’t try to park in the alley outside because the tow truck is lying in the shadows waiting for you to leave your car so he can tow your ass! Nothing fancy here, just tasty […]

19/06/13 Cool Ranch Dorito Taco – Taco Bell

It was a rainy afternoon, and a weird hour. We had missed lunch and we were running non stop errands. We drove by a Taco Bell and there was a request to stop in. I grew up on McDonald’s…and now when I have the craving and go, my stomach hurts for a month – you […]

17/06/13 Shake Shack

Shake Shack opened in Chestnut Hill in March of 2013. This cult favorite had lines around the block, people would stand outside in cold weather just to get one of these burgers. One day I decided to head over, I was going to wait in the line sooner or later, so why not sooner? The […]

14/06/13 Bully Boy Distillers

Bully Boy  is a small batch distillery owned by two brothers Will an Dave Willis. Bully Boy’s name pays homage to a favorite farm workhorse. We grabbed a Groupon for a tour of the distillery in Boston ($35 for a tour for 4). The warehouse is kind of in the middle of nowhere, we had […]

11/06/13 Olives & Grace: A Curtsy to the Makers

One of my co-workers wanted to stop by this store in the south end for some sriracha he had been trying to hunt down for some time. We decide to take a little field trip at lunch – glad we did. Olives and Grace is a cute little shop tucked away on a side street. […]

10/06/13 Vineyard Vines Warehouse Sale

Have you been trying to get to the Vineyard Vines Warehouse sale? (Photo credit above: Facebook) We went on Saturday at 11am, the sale started at 10am. Check out the line…we drove up and drove past. It looked like at least 60 people deep outside – you would think that they were giving away things […]

07/06/13 Barnacle Billy’s

First lobster roll of the season! While it still isn’t that warm outside, that didn’t stop people from sitting out on the deck. People bundled up in their coats and headed out to eat their steamed lobsters. We on the other hand decided to stay inside and enjoy out lunch next to the fireplace. I […]
