31/12/13 Anthem Bar and Kitchen

We had our holiday party at Anthem on a Thursday night. When we were looking for a venue (we were late to the game – we started after Thanksgiving!) I got a mass email from the events team (they outsource their event planning) saying that a day had opened up and the first person to […]

31/12/13 No 9 Park

We spent the days leading up to the holiday with friends – and boy did we eat! Barbara Lynch opened No. 9 Park in 1998 and it has been named one of the  “Top 25 New Restaurants in America” by Bon Appétit and “Best New Restaurant” by Food & Wine. Scott Jones, a native New […]

30/12/13 Legal Harborside

It’s Christmas and we decided to have our dinner at Legal Harborside with my parents. The streets are empty and we are able to find a parking spot on the street. Legal’s first floor is a casual atmosphere where the second floor is more of a formal dining room. We opt for the first floor […]

30/12/13 Designs by Maya

I wrote before about this great little shop that sells hand painted driftwood. Maja found my post and reached out. When we returned to Aruba this year, we wanted to meet her in person! These fish are new pieces! They were at a craft festival for the first few days we were on the island, […]

27/12/13 Aruba -2013

We decided to go to Aruba in the beginning of the month for a few days. We flew jetBlue direct from Logan, which now goes out of terminal E (I can’t tell you how many people were confused by this – check your gate before you check your bags!) We arrive, go through customs and […]

26/12/13 SOWA Holiday Market

This year we decided to spend $15 per person (instead of the regular $5 per person general admission price) to shop an hour earlier than the public. Totally worth it, as it can get crowded! This year’s event (it’s the holiday market’s 10th year!) was held at the Benjamin Franklin Institute at 41 Berkeley Street. […]

26/12/13 2 Fools and a Bull

We had heard about 2 Fools and a Bull from a friend. Make sure to make reservations as soon as you can, as they book quickly! We were lucky, we called the day of and were able to get in due to a last minute cancellation. We arrive promptly at 7pm – if your name […]

24/12/13 Formaggio Kitchen: Cheese 101

For the holidays, someone got us seats at Formaggio Kitchen’s Cheese 101 class. By far THE best present we received so far this season! I hadn’t been to Formaggio Kitchen in some time, but it didn’t take long for me to remember why I love it here! I could spend days browsing their specialty goods, […]

Kai comes in a variety of other products, including: candles, hand cream, perfume oils, body lotion, body scrub and shampoo. See the whole line here. A translucent formula […]
