November 9, 2018 Uhlman’s

I am always looking for a new place to try ice cream. Uhlman’s (pronounced yool-mens) is located in Westborough and they make delicious ice cream in small batches. (They are closed for the season, but keep them in mind for next year.) They are open from March to October, 11am – 8pm daily. So what […]

March 14, 2017 Station 5 Grille

Located in a small strip mall, Station 5 Grille is a hidden gem. The owner is a fireman, thus the name and the decor. They’re open at 7am, so great for families who have kids who are up early. We went late morning and the place was packed – not even a free seat at […]

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 […]

December 7, 2015 Anna’s Hand Cut Donuts

Donuts are my friend Lollie’s thing. We were talking about the best places to get them and she told me about Anna’s Hand Cut Donuts in West Roxbury. This hole in the wall place is open at 5am and are sold out by lunch. Old timers sit at the counter and chat while drinking coffee […]

November 29, 2015 The Juice Bar

No trip to Nantucket would be complete without a stop at the Juice Bar. They closed for the season October 12th with killer deals on boxes and half boxes of ice cream to get you through the winter. How many more days until summer?? In the summer, the line is out the door and around […]

November 25, 2015 Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory

Located at the pier, just under the Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory is in a prime location. The day was humid and frankly hot as hell. Of course after walking around at the Brooklyn Flea we were sweating and needed something cool, so we waited in the enormous line to get an ice cream. […]

October 25, 2015 Frosty’s Donuts

On a day trip up to Maine for some outlet shopping, we stopped in on Frosty’s. I’ve always noticed the sign but never stopped in – so many stores, not enough time, know what I mean? Set a bit off the main street, Frosty’s is located inside a charming little house. The inside is a […]

September 25, 2015 The Clam Shack

No summer at the Cape is complete without a stop in at the Clam Shack. This little waterfront shack serves up some of the best fried clams (and other food) on the Cape! Parking can be dicey here, but circle around, it’s worth it. And remember to bring your cash kids, they don’t accept cards. […]

July 21, 2015 Pomodoro

My sister in law was in town on business so we popped over to Pomodoro in Brookline Village. The restaurant is small, very intimate (it feels like a dinner party at your friend’s house) and the place is packed. The bar is the focal point of the restaurant, taking up a lot of real estate […]

November 10, 2014 Morganstern’s

I recently spent the weekend in NYC and met up with my co-worker (and fellow foodie) Cathleen for dinner. She suggested that at some point during the weekend to head to NOLITA and try out Morganstern’s Finest Ice Cream. A modern take on the classic ice cream shop, Morganstern’s serves up some of the most […]
