30/06/14 Barking Crab 20th Anniversary

Tuesday night the tent was packed with well-wishers helping the Barking Crab celebrate their 20th anniversary. Glad not to be anywhere near the JPMorgan race this year in the Back Bay, Marisa and I headed over to the iconic red and yellow tent to celebrate. You could not have asked for more perfect weather! They […]

27/06/14 Modern Pastry

Modern Pastry is a family owned bakery in the North End, located across the street from Mike’s – a little less well known to the tourists…but those in the know go here for their cannolis. They recently renovated the space next door and opened a brand new space around Easter. The new space is much […]

26/06/14 Cocoanuts

  I stopped in to one of my favorite store the other day for some sweets. Cocoanuts offers delicious specialty goods from local or small batch makers. The Lil Devil ($3.30)is a take on Little Debbie Cocoa Cremes or a Hostess Ding Dong – chocolate cake with creme filling that is dipped in dark chocolate. […]

24/06/14 Corn and Co.

Corn and Co. first came on my radar at a party thrown by The Good Ones. They were at the dumpling battle I covered as well. I’ve been trying to buy more ever since! So I was excited when we had Red Sox tickets because Corn and Co. is the official popcorn of the Red […]

24/06/14 Shiki

Shiki is a small Japanese restaurant located just off of Harvard St. in Coolidge Corner. It has probably been on my “to visit” list for 5 years….glad we finally made it! We arrived at a great time and we were seated right away – there was a bit of a wait as we came close […]

23/06/14 Wegmans

10 years ago, I was just getting ready to go out at 10pm. These days, at 10pm, I am at Wegman’s trying to avoid traffic on route 9 and the insane crowds at this newly opened location. (Oh how times have changed!) When you pull into the parking lot, you can pull into the front […]
