31/10/13 Hilton Downtown

We recently moved our office from the Back Bay to Faneuil Hall. We packed up over the weekend on Saturday and Sunday. We worked from 10am on Monday to 3am on Tuesday and then headed back into the office at 7am Tuesday morning. We grabbed rooms at the Hilton on Broad Street to catch a […]

31/10/13 Fogo De Chao

Fogo De Chao is located in Copley Square, right next to the mall and the Boston Public Library.  Valet parking is available. How do you prepare for a Brazilian steakhouse? Do you fast for 3 days so you have room for the all you can eat meat or do you keep eating large amounts before […]

30/10/13 Foumami

I introduced Foumami to my foodie coworkers, they’re hard to impress. Located on Franklin Street, Foumami is right around the corner from Equinox. The line is long but it moves pretty quickly. People here are mostly taking out, so we have no problems getting a seat. Menus are all around, so you can figure out […]

30/10/13 Lafayette

Located in Noho, we stopped into Lafayette for breakfast Monday morning. The morning was hot and muggy, and although the patio looked lovely, we chose to grab a seat inside. I love the retro feel of this place, the decor is top notch. I had really high hopes for this place. Service was good, our […]

After seeing an article in the BBJ about cronuts coming to Boston, of course we had to see what the fuss was about. When we went the first day, they didn’t have any – so we decide to get lunch instead. There are so many options here, a hot food bar, sandwiches, a salad bar etc. […]

We took the train to Brooklyn to go to Smorgasburg, also known as the Brooklyn Flea Market. The Fort Greene location can be found at 176 Lafayette Ave. (btw.

28/10/13 Twinkies

Twinkies, the comeback! The Hostess truck stopped by Back Bay and gave out free Twinkies! (and free shirts!) Can anyone say company field trip? Two of my coworkers had never even had a Twinkie before!! What?!?! Check Hostess out on Twitter, I dig the person who handles their social media account, pretty amusing! https://twitter.com/Hostess_Snacks

25/10/13 Cookie Monstah

Missy Gale, mother of four and baker extraordinaire, makes some of THE best cookies in town. Find the Cookie Monstah truck around town and try them out, you won’t be sorry.  This time I had the Peanut Squared: creamy peanut butter cookies with peanut butter ice cream from Richardson’s. The cookies are ENORMOUS and they […]
