29/08/14 Cafe Madeleine
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 […]

29/08/14 The Standard Baking Company
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. […]

28/08/14 Sinclair
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 […]

27/08/14 Morning in Paris
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 […]

26/08/14 Voodoo Doughnuts
When we left Keystone on Sunday, the hotel told us to leave at least 4 hours before we needed to get to the airport. Traffic was supposed to be heavy because of the holiday weekend. We got to Denver in no time, and found ourselves driving aimlessly trying to find something to do. And that […]

Guests were invited to participate in the Eat. Play. Love theme and dress in red, purple and yellow. The event was a modern […]

23/08/14 The Good Ones: Elderflower Hour Part 2 at Grill 23
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 […]

22/08/14 Keystone Wedding
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 […]
