Welcome to the 15th Friday Fave Five weekly post and blog hop where I link up with my favorites from the week with Mom’s Got Mail.
My sister is in town! We went to Revere Beach in Revere, MA to hit up Kelly’s Roast Beef for lobster rolls! So good!
Jugos, a smoothie/ fruit juice spot in the Back Bay in Boston has pretty great options! Here is what I ordered: STELLA – RASPBERRY, BLUEBERRY, STRAWBERRY, BANANA, APPLE CIDER. It was a bit pricey (around $10) but it was very fresh and filling too.
The fiance’s family pizza joint in Brighton, MA is closing today after almost 50 years and although it is sad, we are happy that his dad can retire and relax. And who knows, maybe Sal can bring it back when the timing is better! I was so excited when the news featured their business and they have gotten tons of new and old visitors coming in to help them close with a bang!

4. Favorite Giveaway:
Baby Bump Bundle is having a giveaway with an adorable mommy blogger Ruthie! Enter to win a nursing scarf and a necklace that is safe for baby to chew and resistant from them tugging.
5. Favorite for Kids:
What a smart idea – a towel for tots that won’t fall on the ground and is long enough for your kids to reach! So cute too!
What about you- what are this weeks faves?

That lobster roll is making me hungry π I haven’t had one yet this year and need to get one.
Michelle says
Lobster rolls in summer is a necessity!
Fran says
Happy Summer… go Sox!!! I feel good about my boys from Yawkey Way
Anyway, fun as always to read your thoughts.. Here’s my two and a half cents
Food… I luv luv luv lobster rolls like you… Arnold’s on the Cape in Eastham rocks… At Kelly’s I devour their roast beef. It’s the bomberino!!!
Drink… That drink with Stella and fruit sounds awful. But you love it, so maybe I’m missing something. Give me a Paloma made with tequila and San Pelligrino grapefruit soda … Give me give and I’ll dance on the table…too bad about the fiancΓ©’s pizza place. I thought they owned Pinos in Brighton… I think I had a pizza from their once when I hooked with a BC hockey player.
The greatest giveaway in the world is the publishers clearing house giveaway. I want to win that as bad as much as I want oxygen to breathe.
For kids… I don’t like kids , so how about something to make them invisible
Michelle says
The drink was non alcoholic….no stella beer just a juice drink called stella π
Ha your thoughts on kids crack me up.
Thanks for sharing π

OMG OMG OMG OMG !!!!!!!!!!!
Imperial Pizza is closing.
;( ;(
That place was the best.
I <3 Imperial Pizza…
When I went to BC they were my Ab Fab go to place for pizza n subs… Their driver, I think his name was Mr Ruffo was so nice … Is he a future relative? Please say hi to him from Doreen in Oak Square .
Anyway, why isn't Sal just taking over what's a great business…isn't it common for Italian fathers to pass down family businesses to their children? Or did his dad leave it to another child? That would suck!!!
You should do everything to get that pizza parlor and keep the Imperial tradition alive… I swear Boston College kids will starve if it isn't kept going…
Michelle, you and Sal have to make that your business!!!!!!!!!!!!
Michelle says
Awe glad you were a fan of Imperial ! There are a few reasons it closed, one being the dad was ready to retire, the other being the building wasn’t allowing them to have a lease and no one wants to run a business knowing there is a chance of the building taking over at anytime and putting in ritzy condos or something! We will see…maybe Imperial will be back some day π
Doreen Hill says
Oh good
Best of luck to you and young Mister Imperial
Jennifer says
I love the towel! I can’t believe that Juice is $10, though! It is sad to have a restaurant close, but they are so much work. Did they try to find a buyer?
My husband keeps passing red lobster and sighing because he wishes we were still in Maine!
Michelle says
They couldn’t sell it because the management company who owns the building wouldn’t give them a decent lease therefore how do you sell a restaurant that is month to month:( Pretty sad.
