19/03/14 Back Deck

Located in the Back Bay, on the corner of West and Washington Street, Back Deck is a casual restaurant serving charcoal grilled favorites. We went for brunch at around noon on a Saturday and the restaurant was packed. We were able to grab a seat by the window, which was great for people watching. As […]

Friday night, the wait at Area Four was running around 30 minutes. We grabbed some cocktails at the bar and watched caught some of the hockey game. I grabbed a great champagne cocktail – bubbly, sugar and angostura ($11). We grabbed great seats near the wood burning oven. The vibe inside is “Cambridge”, cool, a […]

17/03/14 Koreana

It’s been a while since I’ve been here. We had bought a Living Social deal for Koreana and randomly decided to go in the middle of a snowstorm. While it’s usually packed in here, the snowstorm thinned out the crowd – score for us. We started with the edamame. Classic, steamed perfectly, each one has […]

14/03/14 Stratosphere and Monorail

Next stop fun city? Hardly. We took the monorail to the last stop and then walked a few blocks through a questionable area to the Stratosphere hotel. There are a bunch of different rides you can go on as well as just hang out and see the 360 degree views of Vegas. http://www.flickr.com/photos/65015475@N02/12420731315/ Tower admission […]

13/03/14 YellowTail at the Bellagio

We got stuck in Vegas for an extra night due to a snowstorm cancelling our flight. The one good thing about having to stay another night is getting to try another great restaurant. This time we picked YellowTail in the Bellagio. The crowd is a the see and be seen type. Inside gets a bit […]

We went to BurgerFi opening weekend and waited 40 minutes for our burgers – which were gone in…40 seconds. This week, with the BU kids on spring break, burgers in under 5 minutes! Located on Comm. Ave in the space formerly occupied by Qdoba, BurgerFi focuses on all natural beef burgers that are always made […]

The Flamingo hotel offers free admission to their wildlife habitat. The habitat is home to a flock of Chilean Flamingos. In addition to the flamingos, there are ducks and various other birds. The habitat is also home to brown pelicans that came to them in 2012 from a rescue in California. Unfortunately, when we arrived, […]

06/03/14 Mesa Grill in Caesar’s Palace

We spent what seemed to be a lot of time at Caesar’s Palace. The lobby was decorated with red lanterns for the Chinese New Year. Mesa Grill is Bobby Flay’s restaurant, and is located near the sports book in the casino. We had been to Mesa in the Bahamas and it was one of the […]
