30/08/13 Wasabi

We had to run an errand at the mall after work, so we decided to grab a quick bite at Wasabi, located in the new section of the mall, across the way from Lord and Taylor. All the plates are made by the chef and then put on a conveyor belt that loops around the […]

Just wanted to share some wonderful photos from the Farmers Market at Copley Square. It’s open Tuesdays and Fridays. Check out these lovely “lunchbox peppers” from Sienna Farms. And these amazing eggplants! Find a farmers market near you: http://www.massfarmersmarkets.org/

28/08/13 Jerry Remy’s Waterfront

We just had our annual summer retreat for my company. Finding a place that can hold 30 people without a room charge or a food and beverage minimum is tough. The folks over at Remy’s really took care of us. We had two long tables side by side inside, but right at the open windows […]

27/08/13 Cookie Monstah

I’ve been trying to get to the Cookie Monstah for some time now, and for one reason or another, it just hasn’t happened…..until now. Here’s there schedule: I stopped over on Wednesday to see them at Clarendon between Boylston and Newbury. I picked the shortcake – sugared sugar cookies with strawberry ice cream. Ice cream […]

26/08/13 Solstice

Solstice is the main restaurant in Stowe Mountain Lodge. Breakfast is served from 7-11. Sunday morning, while the guys play golf, we go out to breakfast. They have coffee in the bar area outside the restaurant (see picture above), but they have run out and people are starting to get antsy. I had made a […]

First full day in Vermont we spend the morning at the spa and then decide to go up to the Cliff House for lunch. You have to pay to get up the mountain via the gondola. The cost is $25 per person, round trip, but if you are a hotel guest and you put the […]

19/08/13 Pie in the Sky

The first night we are in VT we decide to go out for a casual bite – pizza at Pie in the Sky. This place is always jamming! We are lucky to not have to wait for a table and order up two pizzas. The waitress is the same as we had the last time […]

15/08/13 Battle of the Burger 2013

Battle of the Burger took place on Tuesday, August 13th at the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal. The weather was a bit muggy and things were steamy from the grills but there was a cool breeze sweeping through. Thanks to Amstel Light for sponsoring the event! (Photo courtesy of Edelman PR) I attended the event as […]

12/08/13 Simon Pearce

On our way to Vermont, we always stop at Simon Pearce. It’s about halfway and what a lovely place to stop and stretch our legs. They don’t take reservations for lunch, but we arrived on the later side on Friday afternoon and there isn’t much of a crowd. A quick refreshing drink to start off […]

08/08/13 Barrio Cantina

Barrio Cantina, a Michael Schlow restaurant, took over the previous space Schlow had as Happy’s Bar and Kitchen. The comfort food restaurant has been morphed into a Mexican restaurant, but the space feels very similar. Maybe it’s because the Red Sox are out of town, but the place is pretty quiet. It takes a beat […]
