My co-workers and I attended the BostonInno BostonFest ’12 and spent a few hours outdoors at the Seaport World Trade Center. There were plenty of games, live music, and a few booths set up from local businesses. We had a quick taste of samples of Samuel Adams beer, played a fast game of trivia, and […]
Bon Me Truck
I finally understand why people wait in LONG lines to get the Bon Me Truck at Dewey Square on the Greenway. They’ve been around since 2011 so I am surprised it was my first complete meal with them. And it was $10.50 which isn’t bad in my book. They pride themselves on serving “Bold Fresh […]
Rethink Your Pretzel With Pretzel Crisps®
My new friends over at Pretzel Crisps® gave me the chance to have a taste of all seven of the Deli Style Flavors. It’s a tough job but someone has to do it! I am totally hooked on these snacks. They’re a thin and crunchy pretzel cracker that comes in a wide variety of flavors […]
Scenes from my Saturday: Kittery, Maine
The bf and I decided to risk the cloudy weather and rain in the forecast to take a drive up to Maine yesterday for lobster lunch and shopping. We were a little bit worried about how the day was going to go because on the drive up, a rock hit the windshield and made a […]
Taco Tuesday’s at Vito’s in the North End
My co-worker, who also lives across the street, and I hit up Vito’s Tavern for one last hurrah on Taco Tuesday last night! She is moving out of the neighborhood and up to the north shore this weekend sadly. I will miss her for sure and our walks home from after work drinks. And let’s […]
Worthwhile reads from the web this week
Whoops! It’s already Tuesday and I didn’t share with you guys my worthwhile reads from the web this week from LAST week. I already wrote a bit about my week, with the perfect date night and my first impressions of Granary Tavern. Besides that, I hit up a few new places in Downtown Crossing Friday […]
Recipe for Fresh Plum Tomato Sauce
Yesterday I headed to Haymarket to load up on veggies and fruit for the week. They had plum tomatoes for a dollar a pound, so I grabbed some, with visions of salads, BLT’s, or gazpacho. I came home and unpacked all my goodies only to find my tomatoes were not in as good of shape […]
Cocoanuts Boston is open for biz
I finally popped in to see what the new store on Parmenter Street (#28) Cocoanuts in the North End is all about. It’s been open for three weeks and if you haven’t gotten in there yet, definitely do so! They are open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm for gourmet snacks and […]
Date Night Done Right: Golf Country & Richardson’s
I can’t even believe summer is half way done! The bf and I realized we need to get out of the neighborhood and get in a few fun dates nights, while the weather is warm. He picked me up last night and headed to get a quick bite to eat, play a round of mini-golf, […]
Olive’s grand re-opening party
A couple of weeks ago, I attended the grand re-opening party of Olive’s restaurant in Charlestown, MA. I had been there before a fire caused it to close down but it was awhile ago, so I was excited to head in and see the revamped menu and décor. The night was set to begin with […]
