December 15, 2015 Park

These days it’s hard for me to keep up. It was only 3 months late in taking my friend Julia out for her birthday when we headed over to Park in Harvard Square. Note that this was a few months ago, the weather was nice enough that they opened the windows and we sat just inside […]

December 4, 2015 Select Oyster Bar

Select Oyster Bar is a great spot tucked away on Gloucester Street in the Back Bay. The restaurant is run by Michael Serpa who you may know from his days as Executive Chef at Neptune Oyster. The simple menu is a nice mix of raw bar and cooked seafood options. If you aren’t into seafood, […]

December 1, 2015 Trade

My old intern Sarah and I met up at Trade for dinner, a great place to catch up over good for. We started with the avocado ($7) that came with a mango tamarind chutney and peanuts. While I love guacamole, it can get a bit boring – so I love this dish that serves avocado […]

November 27, 2015 Gather

Meredith and I headed over to the Seaport to grab a bit to eat. You couldn’t have asked for a nicer afternoon/evening. We grabbed a seat on the outdoor patio. The inside decor is pretty cool, from the Edison lightbulbs hanging from the ceiling to the rustic feeling you get from all the wood on […]

November 21, 2015 Siena Italian Grill

Siena is an Italian restaurant located in Mashpee Commons. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. Of course I ordered the bolognese. It was served with linguini and the sauce was a combination of beef and pork. The serving size for lunch was generous, but the dish was average. We also ordered the blue […]

November 17, 2015 Hominy Grill

On our last day in Charleston, we decided to have a real breakfast. We walked to the Hominy Grill from our hotel, which is a bit far… and the neighborhood goes a little down hill on the walk there – as in we definitely walked by a dead cat on the sidewalk. Like many of […]

November 13, 2015 Cru Cafe

On our last night in Charleston we had dinner at Cru Cafe. While located on Pinckney street, its on the corner of Motley! Everywhere in Charleston is pretty casual (with only  2 or 3 exceptions). Cru Cafe is located just steps from our hotel. The open kitchen gives this place a cozy feeling. There are smaller […]

November 12, 2015 Naco Taco

Naco Taco opened this spring in Central Square. While November doesn’t scream patio season, we have had a stretch of near 70 degree days, so of course we were going to take advantage of the last few days of warm weather – and we weren’t alone. We showed up a little early, before they were open, […]

November 9, 2015 Harvest Dinner at Not Your Average Joe’s

I know what you’re thinking when I say I was invited to Not Your Average Joe’s for a harvest dinner. You’re probably thinking of the older locations, like the one in Watertown. But the new location in Waltham is the future of the brand. The restaurant is conveniently located right off of Route 128 and […]

November 3, 2015 Tavern on the Wharf

My new thing is tourist destinations in the off season. I was first introduced to Tavern on the Wharf at the Norwell Farms Farm to Fork dinner. I kept dreaming of the short rib dish that I had at the event, so Leah, Robin and I decided to head down to Plymouth and try them for lunch. […]
