September 12, 2015 Molly’s

My co-worker went to Dartmouth and when she saw we were in Hanover, sent me a text saying we HAD to go to Molly’s for their cheap margaritas and the best bread in town. The bread is served warm and comes with a side of honey butter. She might seriously be right about the best […]

Barbalu was just around the corner from the hotel we were staying at. Barbalu is the marriage (literally) of husband and wife team Stefano BARBAgallo and Adriana LUque. The couple rebuilt their new restauarant in the same location as their old restaurant Barbarini, which was completely destroyed by Superstorm Sandy. We arrived in the city late and […]

August 10, 2015 Robert’s Maine Grill

I frequently go up to Maine – I hit up Freeport for the outlet shopping, Ogunquit for the lobster rolls, Portland for the views and then Kittery for more outlet shopping before coming home. I’ve been to Bob’s Clam Hut across the street and have always wanted to try Robert’s Maine Grill, but it never […]

August 3, 2015 Ramen Burger

I know you’ve heard about Ramen Burger by now, well this is the original. We had heard about it before, and even passed it up last time we were in New York and at Smorgasburg, but there was no line and there was no waiting at the South Street Seaport location, so we scooped up […]

July 31, 2015 Sushi of Gari Tribeca

When we were in New York, we decided to meet up with an old co-worker of mine for sushi. With 4 locations, we met her at the Tribeca location – but Sushi of Gari can also be found on 78th Street, Columbus Ave. and West 46th Street. We arrived around 7 and the place was […]

July 28, 2015 Umpleby’s Bakery and Cafe

Every time we head up to Vermont we stop in Hanover, NH to grab a bite to eat.  We usually stop at Lou’s but this year decided to mix it up a bit. We tried out Umpleby’s Bakery and Cafe. Owners Charles and Carolyn Umpleby opened the bakery originally in Vermont in 2000, and then […]

July 10, 2015 Tatte Bakery

Owner Tzurit Or opened Tatte in 2007 after moving to the US from Israel in 2004. The small shop in Brookline led to 4 additional locations around Boston/Cambridge and you can even buy Tatte’s pastries online. Brookline’s location has a few tables inside which are a little cramped on most days, but what’s great is […]

July 7, 2015 Besito

We met my mom for lunch at Besito is Chestnut Hill. A great spot in the Chestnut Hill Mall. It’s a chain, but you’d never know it. Besito translates into “Little Kiss” and serves up delicious Mexican cuisine. We get the table side guacamole ($9.95) to start. The camarones ajillo ($22.95) is one of my […]

June 25, 2015 Anejo

Anejo opened in Falmouth on Main Street in 2010 and it’s been packed ever since. The restaurant offers Mexican cuisine and has a great outdoor patio – perfect for people watching during the summer afternoons (they have heat lamps for those nights when it can get a little cool). We had a late lunch on a Saturday […]

June 18, 2015 Brio

I met Caroline for lunch mid week – we laughed as I said, “So this is what it feels like to be a lady of leisure”….not quite. Brio at lunch time was pretty quiet and the clientele was of an older crowd, a much older crowd. The restaurant is part of the new Chestnut Hill […]
