March 24, 2017 Iggy’s Bread

I always enjoyed Iggy’s bread when I bought it at the store. I didn’t realize they have their own little shop over in Cambridge. It’s out of the way, and not super obvious to find, I drove by two or three times before I figured out where the lot was. Call me directionally challenged. Iggy’s sells […]

December 16, 2016 Holiday Shopping at the CambridgeSide Galleria

For those of you who are doing a last mad dash for presents the week before Christmas, head over to the CambridgeSide Galleria. It’s super easy to get to: you can drive there and parking is WAY cheaper than most city malls, you can take the T or you can get a shuttle bus. Oh, did […]

September 15, 2016 Mike’s Pastry Harvard Square

I love a good restaurant rivalry. It’s like the New Haven pizza rivalry, are you a Pepe’s or a Sally’s? Here, it is the battle of the cannoli, are you a Mike’s Pastry or a Modern Pastry (maybe a Bova’s)? The shops are located across the street from one another in the North End and […]

April 21, 2016 Playska

Playska is the newest restaurant by Tim and Bronwyn Wiechmann (TW Food and Bronwyn). Chef Tim’s sandwich shop is his nod to the Balkans. The shop is small with only a few tables to dine in at, but it’s comfortable and relaxed. As we are browsing the menu, trying to figure out what to order, […]

February 23, 2016 Kimchi Kitchen

After reading about Kimchi Kitchen, Leah and I decided that we just HAD to go. The restaurant, located in Cambridge, opened in 2015 and has been making delicious Korean sould food ever since. The small 16 seat restaurant leaves a little to be desired in the decor department, but we are here for the food. […]

December 22, 2015 Mariposa Bakery

After lunch at the nearby Naco Taco, we decided to stop into Mariposa bakery. The chop is super cute with exposed brick walls and some great lighting from the large windows in the front. There are a bunch of tables inside, where you can enjoy your treats if you don’t have the willpower to make […]

December 11, 2015 The Helmand

As long as we were in the area, Leah and I went out to dinner after a book launch party at The Helmand. This place has been on my list for years, I first learned about it from my massage therapist Katie. The restaurant has two rooms, a large front dining area and a smaller […]

November 12, 2015 Naco Taco

Naco Taco opened this spring in Central Square. While November doesn’t scream patio season, we have had a stretch of near 70 degree days, so of course we were going to take advantage of the last few days of warm weather – and we weren’t alone. We showed up a little early, before they were open, […]

November 2, 2015 Tahaza Hummus Kitchen

Located between the Cambridge Side Galleria and the Lechmere train station is Tahaza Hummus Kitchen. It’s a great healthy option when you just can’t bear to have a food court meal (and it’s just as quick!). They’re open 6 days a week (closed on Sunday), 11am – 9pm, so head in for lunch or dinner […]

August 24, 2015 Cocktail Class at Ames Street Deli

Thursday night I was invited to a cocktail class at Therapy, the private dining room at Ames Street Deli and Study. Ames Street Deli is the more casual spot to hang out, grab a bite to eat or get a drink at the bar. Study is the more formal dining experience next door. Both are […]
