29/01/14 Granary Tavern

Granary Tavern is a relatively new addition to the Glynn Hospitality Group – they own Coogan’s, Clery’s, Dillon’s, The Purple Shamrock and Hurricane’s to name a few. Located on the Greenway, at the end of Milk Street,  in the summer time, they have a great outdoor patio. We stopped in on a Saturday, on the […]

28/01/14 Jeni’s

Jeni’s ice cream is made in Columbus, OH. Apparently they make great ice cream in Ohio, ’cause my other favorite ice cream is Graeter’s ice cream, and they are located in Cincinnati, OH. My new favorite store, Bees Knees, carries a bunch of flavors in the jeni’s line. There is no better flavor combination than […]

27/01/14 Cookie Swap

We had so much fun this holiday season at my office. We had about 20 people in my office participate in a cookie swap! I think that I may be going through cookie withdrawal right now…but it was worth it. I thought I would share some of the recipes! Enjoy! Pecan Puffs Beat until fluffy: […]

24/01/14 L’Espalier

We had a lovely dinner with old friends at L’Espalier. Located on Boylston Street, if you aren’t specifically looking for the restaurant, you might walk right by it. The restaurant was originally located on Boylston when in opened in 1978, it moved to a townhouse in the Back Bay in  1982, only to return to […]

23/01/14 Petit Robert Cooking Demo

There was only supposed to be a 30% chance of snow. When I left my house on Saturday morning and it was raining – but by the time we got to Petit Robert, it had changed to snow. I can’t think of a better way to spend a snowy morning – watching Chef Jacky Robert […]

22/01/14 Bees Knees Supply Co.

Located on Farnsworth Street, right next to Flour Bakery, Bees Knees is a 5,500sq ft specialty goods shop that has some of my favorite products. In addition to specialty goods, Bees Knees also hosts a deli and cafe where you can order a sandwich or grab a smoothie to go. They have an extensive wine […]

21/01/14 Tomato Charlie’s

After eating so many heavy, rich dinners, we decide to go casual one night. Tomato Charlie’s  is located on the main drag and serves excellent thin crust pizza. They have patio seating under umbrellas and covered seating inside the restaurant on the other side of the sidewalk. You can’t beat dinner for 2 for $22. […]

20/01/14 Bernard’s

Bernard’s used to be tucked in a corner in the Chestnut Hill mall, but has since moved over to the new construction, “The Street”. We were going to head to the Shake Shack, but the line was out the door, so we decided to try out Bernard’s for the first time. We’ve heard only good […]

15/01/14 Franklin Cafe – Southie

While the pictures look like Franklin Southie was empty, when we arrived at 1:30, it was buzzing.  It’s usually crowded but we’ve never had a problem getting a seat. There’s a cool vibe here, but very different than the South End location. Franklin South opened in 2008 and has a bright, open, modern vibe. Parking […]

14/01/14 The Old Man and the Sea

The Old Man and the Sea is located quite a distance from the high rise hotels (it is past the airport). To attract more patrons, they provide a one way ride to the restaurant from your hotel and you pay the taxi driver on the way home (around $30). We have a great taxi driver […]
