I was able to pop in to the newly opened Cafe Madeleine on Thursday after work. At 6:30 they were almost fully sold out, a great sign after only being open for 4 days! The space is open and bright, designed by EMBARC studios, the same architecture firm that designed Liquid Art House. I had […]

We spent the day in Portland, getting lunch and walking around. We stopped into the Standard Baking Co. and I was in love instantly. With so many delicious things behind the counter, it was hard to choose what to get. I wanted one of everything! The chocolate hazelnut tart was sweet but not too sweet. […]

We headed over to Harvard Square on Sunday afternoon for brunch. We missed the window to sit outside, and they unfortunately closed their patio. We grabbed a corner table inside. You may know the Sinclair as a live music venue, but have you tried their food? No donut holes, bummer. So we go with the […]

On a recent weekend  trip to Maine, to Kennebunkport, we had some time to kill so we stopped in to Morning in Paris. I had been reading about how they sold macarons and had to stop in to try them out. The inside is cute, if not a little cramped at the tables. The outside […]

The Good Ones hosted their final chef battle on Sunday afternoon at Tico. Because Tico is closed on Sundays, we had the whole space – including the outdoor patio – to ourselves! Guests were invited to participate in the Eat. Play. Love theme and dress in red, purple and yellow. The event was a modern […]

A while back I headed over to meet the marketing specialist for Bon Me over at their brick and mortar location. Erica and I grabbed a quick bite to eat for dinner while she told me what new things were going on at Bon Me. They will soon be opening another location and some cosmetic […]

The Good Ones held their 2nd power hour of the month at the newly renovated bar at Grill 23. The new space has a very spacious feel to it. The windows on the far side open up to the street to let in the summer breeze. A perfect place to grab a drink after work […]

The day finally came when Gabe and Jill were getting married. Guests boarded two gondolas to get to the top of the mountain. Altitude sickness is no joke, 1 beer up on the top of the  mountain could feel like 3 beers on the ground. We didn’t experience any of it, but another guest certainly […]
