March 13, 2015 Backyard Farms Tomato Talk and Tasting

I was recently invited to a Backyard Farms “Tomato Talk and Tasting” event. You’ve probably seen Backyard Farms tomatoes in the grocery store, they come those cute boxes with the white picket fences. Tim Cunniff, EVP at Backyard Farms, was on site to talk all things tomato. First up, the Somerset Pinks. Don’t be fooled […]

February 16, 2015 Gianni’s

On New Year’s Eve, we were looking for a place that would seat 11 of us – and make everyone happy – kids of different ages, adults with different palates etc. So we decided on Gianni’s, which can be hit or miss sometimes. The restaurant is located across the street from the Radisson hotel – […]

December 24, 2014 Market

Another buried post from the past. Market is located in the financial district tucked away in a corner on Broad Street. We stopped over one night for a company happy hour. They have a great back room with a lot of open space – perfect for the size group we had. While the weeknight after […]

December 22, 2014 Cafe de Boston

  I had been to Cafe de Boston last year (see my previous review here) but barely recognized it when I went back last week. I honestly thought this was a different location. In my holiday induced (overwhelmed) haze, I had come in a different entrance and the place looked so much bigger and brighter. […]

October 21, 2014 Wheelhouse

Mark and I went out for my birthday lunch at Wheelhouse. They had been on our radar for the past few months (they recently opened)…but you know how that lunch rut goes: you have 5 minutes to duck out to the closest place next to your office…. (or is that just me?) The good news […]

The Intercontinental Hotel has 8 beehives up on their roof.  If you are at Miel for dinner, you can check out the observation camera by the host stand and see activity in the hive. Guests were greeted with a honey […]

September 3, 2014 Janky Donuts

I have to admit, in the weeks building up to the opening of Janky Donuts, I was actually pumped at the thought of a new donut shop. Yup, Janky Donuts, you fooled me. If you don’t know by now, Janky Donuts is an art installation (which opened in July) – creatively marketed like it was […]

July 24, 2014 Tossed

Mark had some Level Up cash at Tossed, so we ventured over there for lunch. While they are known for their salads, they also have wraps, paninis, soups and artisanal sandwiches. They  have a bunch of salads to choose from on the menu, but I choose to make my own. I think this is where […]

See my original post on Crush here. The State Street location is owner Tony Naser’s second location – the flagship store […]
