March 29, 2016 Dumpling Palace

Leah and I decided to grab lunch at Dumpling Palace one afternoon. Located on Mass Ave, parking can be dicey at times – best to try and take public transportation there! The fun part about this place is that there’s a little window and you can look in on the chef making the dumplings by […]

At Brilliant Earth, they are dedicated to sourcing […]

I started off the New Year with a healthy meal – by accident. I headed over to the Freshii in the Back Bay, located just at the corner of Dartmouth and Stuart, next to the Starbucks. Everything these days can be custom made, why shouldn’t your meal be that way too? Of course they have […]

December 19, 2015 Stephanie’s on Newbury

Dianne and I met over at Stephanie’s on Newbury a while back. It was a great chance for us to catch up since it had been such a long time. The restaurant has gotten a facelift since I was last here, how ever many years ago. The color palette has changed to gray with splashes […]

Select Oyster Bar is a great spot tucked away on Gloucester Street in the Back Bay. The restaurant is run by Michael Serpa who you may know from his days as Executive Chef at Neptune Oyster. The simple menu is a nice mix of raw bar and cooked seafood options. If you aren’t into seafood, […]
