June 18, 2015 Brio

I met Caroline for lunch mid week – we laughed as I said, “So this is what it feels like to be a lady of leisure”….not quite. Brio at lunch time was pretty quiet and the clientele was of an older crowd, a much older crowd. The restaurant is part of the new Chestnut Hill […]

December 3, 2013 The Cottage

The holidays are always crazy whether you’re shopping, going to reunions or just trying to catch up with old friends. I met one of my oldest friends out for lunch at the Cottage on a Saturday afternoon. They open at 11:30 and quickly fill up. For some reason I spaced and thought you could have […]

Shake Shack opened in Chestnut Hill in March of 2013. This cult favorite had lines around the block, people would stand outside in cold weather just to get one of these burgers. One day I decided to head over, I was going to wait in the line sooner or later, so why not sooner? The […]
