October 3, 2013 Flat Patties

Flat Patties is located just steps from the Harvard Square T stop. They are a cute little place with outdoor seating in the summer time as well as a balcony up top if you want to eat in. Their shakes are delicious, so far I’ve done coffee and strawberry and have yet to be disappointed. […]

October 2, 2013 Mother Juice

Mother Juice is a new truck on the scene – they use local, seasonal and organic produce to make their ever changing menu of drinks. Cold press juicers work by first crushing and then pressing the ingredients for the most amount of juice. Cold pressing juice keeps more of the ingredients nutrients in tact. While […]

October 1, 2013 Sweet Green

Sweet Green opened on Boylston Street just across the street from the BPL. The line at lunchtime is out the door – but it moves steadily. They have salads on the menu but they also allow you to make your own salad. Pick your greens, pick your toppings, choose how much dressing you want, and […]

September 18, 2013 Juice Bar

The juice bar is located in a tiny corner of the Back Bay train station. They squeeze all their juice fresh – you watch them behind the counter, and they blend your smoothies to order. If you go at peak lunch time, be prepared to wait in a line out the door. I held out […]

May 10, 2013 MET Bar

MET Bar in the Natick Collection was fairly empty when we went one Sunday afternoon. The service leaves something to be desired…it feels like even the servers don’t want to be there. Here’s what we order: HAND-DIPPED BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST Strawberry Jam Filling / Maple Glazed Bananas. Thought this was pretty good but the plating […]

February 17, 2011 MET Bar Legacy Place

When you step inside the MET Bar, you feel like you are inside a casino. It’s pretty dim, there are flashy lights, mirrors made to look like windows, an ornate bar…need I say more? When you walk in, look left for the hostess stand, otherwise you might just think they don’t have one. We sit […]

December 22, 2010 Friendly Toast

It’s always hard for me to pick a place for brunch. My inner lazy-bones tells me that I just want to roll out of bed and down the block for food….but my inner food snob tells me to expand my horizons. Enter the Friendly Toast. I had heard people raving about this place for months […]

May 27, 2010 Sol Azteca

I have only been walking by this place for about 5 years-there really is no excuse for not trying the place. They have a cute patio for outdoor dining when the weather is nice. We happened to go on a day when it was pouring-so we ate inside. The restaurant is partially below ground-and much […]

April 16, 2010 Boloco

John, the CEO of Boloco, reached out to me after I wrote a not so great review of his burrito. He offered me a few free burritos too see if giving them another shot would change my mind. I decided not to go back to the Natick store. I figured that perhaps the reason the […]

April 13, 2010 Chacarero

I had never heard of this place before, but that’s probably because I don’t work downtown. It’s probably a good thing I don’t work downtown because I would eat all of my meals out and that wouldn’t be good for the wallet or the waistline. I met up with my dining companion on a rainy […]
