31/03/14 SW Steakhouse at Wynn Las Vegas

It feels like Steve Wynn didn’t spare any expense with his luxury hotel. Their lobby is another one of my favorites. The Wynn tapped famed event planner Preston Bailey to create this hot air balloon that is 20 feet tall and weights 4,000 pounds. There is also a working carousel that is 13 feet tall, […]

27/03/14 Olives and Grace – Sweet Lydia’s, Liddabit, Apotheker’s

I stopped in to Olives and Grace on Christmas Eve (I’m catching up on posts!), I was doing some last minute shopping and figured I could pick up some stocking stuffers. Check out “The King candy bar” from Liddabit Sweets. Never heard of Liddabit? They are a small company based out of Brooklyn, and the […]

In January, Sorriso, and it’s sister restaurant, Les Zygomates, were bought by Anthony Botta. Botta teamed up with his brother in law, Mark Tosi, and they are planning on […]

25/03/14 Il Mulino at Caesar’s Palace

Il Mulino is located on the upper floor of Caesar’s Palace Forum shops. The restaurant feels like old school New York. The restaurant is a bit pricey, be aware that a soda will run you $5. There’s an interesting mix of people here tonight. As soon as we are seated, before we even get a […]

I’m meeting some old coworkers/friends at Mare for dinner. The weather on Thursday was beautiful, so it was a nice walk from my office. This place will be even better once the summer gets here and they open all the windows! The Dine Out Boston menu: $33.00 Primi 3 Oysters–chef choice and 3 Cherrystone Clams […]

22/03/14 Fox Point Pickling Co.

So a co-worker revealed a hidden talent – he’s a canner. Lucky me, he decided to bring me in the last jar of carrots within days of us meeting! It took me a while to get the lid open, but well worth the wait. Zared makes these at home, along with all sorts of wonderful […]

20/03/14 Piperi

On Friday, the weather had let up, so I took a walk up to Piperi in Government Center. I had driven/walked by this place many times before, but never really had the chance to stop by. My real job keeps me pretty busy and most days, I’m lucky to get out of the office and […]
