Disclaimer: This is a sponsored post. I was provided samples of Eastern Standard Provisions Co. pretzels and salts. As always, all opinions are my own. October means fall is here. Think sweater weather, football games and Oktoberfest. Bring on the beer and pretzels. Eastern Standard Provisions Co. makes artisanal pretzels with all natural ingredients. They […]

We took the train to Brooklyn to go to Smorgasburg, also known as the Brooklyn Flea Market. The Fort Greene location can be found at 176 Lafayette Ave. (btw. Clermont + Vanderbilt Ave.) There are a bunch of vendors and craftspeople – just check out this reclaimed wood table! There are some really great craftspeople […]

Every few months we meet my cousins half way between Boston and CT for a little lunch to catch up on life. This time, we met up in Sturbridge at The Duck. For some reason, my navigation in the car sent us to the completely wrong place….so we were running a bit late. It was […]

I love me some Roxy’s! I love them more that they hang out in one of the three spots reserved for food trucks around the corner from my office! To our surprise, they added a new sandwich, behold the Mushroom Melt! Swiss cheese, crimini and oyster mushrooms and spinach…AMAZING! Love the meatiness that the mushrooms […]

I had read about Lone Star Taco bar and we were anxious to try it. We headed over there on a Friday night and what do you know, we were even able to get a parking spot right out front! Meanwhile, the wait inside was about 35 minutes. It’s not until we sit down do […]

One Saturday afternoon we decided to head up to Maine to do some outlet shopping. On our way up, we made a pit stop in Portland for lunch. We tried to get into Duckfat but the line was over 45 minutes long, so we headed over to Two Fat Cats bakery instead. After a long […]

I have been to the Salty Pig a number of times after work for drink, but I have never had a full meal there. Everyone I know said that the food there was delicious and that the pizzas were tasty, so one night, a friend and I went for dinner. It gets pretty busy right […]

Coppa has been on my to try list since it opened, in 2009 (how embarrassing!). I finally made it there for my birthday, and let me tell you, it was worth the wait. It was an unusually warm fall night-so there were people eating at tables outside when we got there. We had 6:30 reservations […]

Met up with an old friend in Chestnut Hill for brunch at The Cottage. There is a lot of construction going on, but they are still open. I must admit that I have been waiting for quite some time to have brunch here….more specifically the mashed potato omelette. For $10.95 you get all of this! […]

I have been to Tico a couple of times before, but this time was exceptionally delicious. Tico is a Michael Schlow restaurant….you may know his other restaurants in town…Radius, Alta Strada, and Via Matta. A great after work spot, this place offers tapas, or small plates. We were ravenous, and ordered enough food to be […]
