November 30, 2017 Blackbird Doughnuts – Fenway

I’ve been dying to try out Blackbird Doughnuts’ ice cream doughnut. One of these days I’ll get one! Until then, I settled for stopping in to their second location in Fenway and picking up some tasty treats for a hostess gift. We picked up both the raised doughnuts and the old fashioned cake donuts. What’s […]

September 6, 2017 Blackbird Doughnuts

Blackbird Doughnuts, the popular South End spot for artisan doughnuts has come to the Fenway. We stopped there on the way out of town on Labor Day Weekend to pick up a half dozen for the ride since we were able to get an earlier jump on the road (when does that ever happen?). Anything […]

December 13, 2016 Saloniki

Saloniki had been on my list of places to try since it opened. The lines this summer were out the door and down the block! So I waited until recently to check it out. I’m kicking myself that I waited so long because just check out what I had been missing out on. The restaurant is […]

November 15, 2016 Tiger Mama

Tiger Mama is Tiffani Faison’s newest restaurant in the Fenway/Kenmore area, just steps from her other restaurant, Sweet Cheeks. Tiger Mama pays tribute to the Southeast Asian cuisine that Faison had on her many trips to the area. I stopped in a while back for lunch (they are only open for dinner these days) after […]

January 14, 2016 Loretta’s Last Call

I haven’t been to Lansdowne Street since my college years. I was excited to check out Loretta’s Last Call, a country bar, for their bluegrass brunch. Every Sunday they have a bluegrass brunch from 11-4 with live music. They do other fun events like free line dancing lessons on Sundays and Tuesdays and Bourbon tastings […]

August 8, 2013 Barrio Cantina

Barrio Cantina, a Michael Schlow restaurant, took over the previous space Schlow had as Happy’s Bar and Kitchen. The comfort food restaurant has been morphed into a Mexican restaurant, but the space feels very similar. Maybe it’s because the Red Sox are out of town, but the place is pretty quiet. It takes a beat […]

March 24, 2013 Tasty Burger

This one has been sitting in my photos for months now, I just stumbled upon it. I won’t write a full review, just a quick thought. Tasty Burger’s special “Hanukkah Burger”, an all beef patty topped with a potato cake and apple sauce. Not as pretty as their twitter pic that first made me salivate […]

Island Creek Oyster Bar is located in the old space that Great Bay used to occupy. The space is pretty large and open. The front area has a bar (and lounge, […]
