It’s just like me to go to a party where they are serving complimentary drinks and passed appetizers and go to the restaurant next door and spend all my money. The Godfrey Hotel recently turned 1 and we were at the party! I had been wanting to try out Ruka, and hey, since we were […]

I have to admit that when I first heard about Roche Bros. in Downtown Crossing, I didn’t realize that there was a downstairs. So here I am thinking, hmm… a market with just a salad bar, a hot bar and prepared foods? What’s so special about that. It was only after talking with a friend […]

It has notes of citrus, sweet red raspberry, strawberry, green apple, and stone fruit. All the major players were at the party and Jenny looked […]

I finally had the chance to pop into Ogawa Coffee the other day. The Boston shop is their first international location outside of Japan and it has been receiving praises ever since their opening. The decor is simple and they have a variety of seating that will fit anyone’s needs – there are tables in the […]

Bel Ari used to be Sorriso, but the restaurant went through a major renovation just about a year ago. The new space is amazing, with a private […]

Here are just a few appetizers that we tried. Pictured above was the Portuguese style fish cakes that were made with salted cod and […]

I drove my car, but the hotel is located near the T station – the […]

Cheeseboy first opened its doors in 2009 in CT and opened their first Boston location in 2010 in South Station. They have over a half a dozen sandwiches to choose from and if you still can’t find something you like, you can design your own. In addition to sandwiches, Cheeseboy offers breakfast sandwiches and sweets […]

  Last week I was invited to preview the new holiday collection at Davids Tea. They have a location right in Downtown Crossing where you can not only pick up some tea, but grab a cup to go. I personally recommend the eggnog latte and plan to go back one morning and try the matcha […]
