I follow Free Food Boston’s blog, and towards the end of last year there were a lot of posts about Dorado Taco’s…talking about how fantastic their brunch was. It only took me what, 5 months to get there? Check out the Free Food Boston Post on Dorado. We arrived on a Saturday morning at around […]

March 22, 2011 Asana in the Mandarin Oriental

I have to say that the experience I had at Asana was excellent…I would expect nothing less from the Mandarin Oriental. The service was professional and polite every step of the way, from the valet who parked my car (there’s something more trustworthy about a man in a uniform than an 18 year old valet […]

March 17, 2011 Tatte Bakery

On March 15th, I was checking my twitter account and saw that Tatte had fresh strawberry hamantaschen (@tattecookies), handmade jam…nice. Sold. When I got home after work, Tatte was my first stop. It was a beautiful day outside, sunny-trying to warm up…but seeing the outside tables made me think that there is hope that spring […]

March 15, 2011 Bon Chon Chicken

Bon Chon chicked used to be located in Privus, next to the now closed Kells on Brighton Ave. They have since re-opened down the street at 123 Brighton Avenue. Parking can be limited on the street, especially on weekend nights, and it gets super crowded, so you might want to stop in early, get take […]

March 14, 2011 Roxy’s Grilled Cheese

I have been anxiously awaiting Roxy’s Gourmet Grilled Cheese to open. I avoided their opening night, and thank goodness I did. From pictures on twitter, the line was around the block! We decided to go last week during lunch time. They park in Cleveland Circle near the old, closed movie theater. There is ample parking […]

March 11, 2011 Dumpling Cafe

The pork and leek dumpligs-pan fried (+0.25) were quite flavorful and the wonton skins were much thinner than the ones at Gourmet Dumpling House. The steamed buns with pork ($6.95) were also thin. When you cut them open all the juices spilled out, but we used our scallion pancakes to soak it up-YUM! The scallion […]

March 11, 2011 Treat Cupcakes
