June 26, 2014 Cocoanuts

  I stopped in to one of my favorite store the other day for some sweets. Cocoanuts offers delicious specialty goods from local or small batch makers. The Lil Devil ($3.30)is a take on Little Debbie Cocoa Cremes or a Hostess Ding Dong – chocolate cake with creme filling that is dipped in dark chocolate. […]

Jen and Tara have been friends since they were teenagers. A few years later, they made that dream they had when they were teenagers, of opening a business together, come to fruition. Located on Parmenter Street in the North End, this cute shop is full of surprises! The carry a variety of gourmet nuts and […]

April 20, 2014 Cocoanuts

This post has been sitting in my drafts folder for some time now. I met up with my old intern and she brought me this cute little sampler pack from Cocoanuts (that’s how they first came onto my radar). Check out all the things inside below. A tasty fruit and nut bar. Taza, a local […]

April 17, 2014 Northlight Baking Co. Macaron Sampling at CocoaNuts

I happened to need a gift for a party we were going to, and headed over to Cocoanuts in the North End to pick up some sweets (blog post coming soon). I had the chance to chat with Tara Shea (co-owner) while I was in there, and she mentioned that Shira Melen, of Northlight Baking […]

March 24, 2014 Mare

I’m meeting some old coworkers/friends at Mare for dinner. The weather on Thursday was beautiful, so it was a nice walk from my office. This place will be even better once the summer gets here and they open all the windows! The Dine Out Boston menu: $33.00 Primi 3 Oysters–chef choice and 3 Cherrystone Clams […]

May 17, 2011 Prezza

We had been to Prezza before (see post) and decided to go back for another try since we were going to be in the North End anyway. I apologize for the grainy photos, but it was pretty dark. I ordered the same appetizer as last time-the crispy shrimp ($16). Four enormous shrimps that looked more […]

March 9, 2011 Bricco

Located on Hanover Street in the North End, I was looking forward to making a second trip to Bricco, this time, for restaurant week. In general I think people love or hate restaurant week. The premise is that for $30 you can get a 3 course dinner or lunch for $20. It used to be […]

April 10, 2010 Lyndells

Lyndell’s took over the spot where LuLu’s Bakery used to be. Located at the end of Hanover street, the bakery is small but adorable. We had gone to dinner a few weeks ago at Prezza and walked over to get a cupcake at Lyndell’s after-but they were closed. Bummer. We had seen Lyndell’s featured on […]

March 19, 2010 Prezza

We arrive at 7 and it’s pretty crowded with after work-ers. They had run out of specials for the night because of all the people there. It was crowded but not overwhelmingly loud. The decor is stylish and simple. We sit in a booth near the front and they have to take our jackets because […]
