Hooray for date night!! Mal and I had a blast out on the town in Boston last night. Good times were had by all! (Derp. We’re vest twins in this pic.) Our evening started at Scholars with dinner and drinks. By drinks, I mean BEER! I heard a rumor that Scholars had a nice beer [...]

I receive a ton of questions from readers about where to stay when they visit Boston. I’m always hesitant to give my recommendations because I’ve only stayed at two hotels (now three) in the area. All of my family lives locally and when my friends visit, they stay at our house, so I just haven’t [...]

Happy Veteran’s Day and 11/11/11!!! Last night, Mal and I met up with some friends at The Black Rose for dinner and drinks. I haven’t been to The Black Rose in years, so I was excited. It’s a really chill bar with a friendly, upbeat vibe. I’m also pretty sure The Black Rose is the [...]

Last night, I had the pleasure of attending a private dinner party with Food Network’s Ted Allen at the Nespresso store on Newbury Street in Boston. The dinner party was hosted by Nespresso, so everyone (media folks and bloggers) received a short tutorial about their machines and products at the beginning of the event. Nespresso’s [...]

A year ago (almost exactly), I enjoyed a lovely dinner at Audubon Circle with a group of food bloggers. Last night, I had the opportunity to do it all again. Audubon Circle is owned by the same restaurant group as Cambridge 1, Miracle of Science, Middlesex Lounge, and Tory Row. (Remember my dinner at Tory Row with [...]

Yesterday was such a treat. I spent the whole afternoon eating! I joined a small group of local bloggers to experience authentic Italy through the eyes of Bertolli by exploring Boston’s vibrant Italian culinary scene in the North End. We spent the day “serving Italy” with a tour of the best Italian specialty shops that [...]

Apparently, everyone is visiting Boston this summer, so I thought it was time to put together a blog post about my favorite places to eat, drink, and be merry in Boston! Where to Stay The Colonnade Hotel 120 Huntington Avenue Boston, MA The Colonnade Hotel is located in the Back Bay/Copley area of Boston, right [...]

Slowly but surely, I’m becoming a beer snob. I won’t drink light beer in can or anything that is watery and flavorless. (Sorry, I don’t understand the obsession with PBR, and I never will.) I’m not a beer connoisseur by any means— I don’t even know what goes into brewing beer— but I know what I like [...]

Last night, I was invited to the “soft opening” of 5 Napkin Burger in Boston’s Back Bay. The restaurant officially opens to the public next week on March 23rd, so 5 Napkins wanted to celebrate by inviting their family, friends, and media to enjoy dinner on them, but also use the night as an opportunity [...]

Remember a couple of months ago when I asked readers for their Boston hotel recommendations? Well, it turns out that one of my readers works at The Colonnade Hotel, so she invited me to visit so I could experience the hotel firsthand. To be honest, I didn’t know much about The Colonnade, but when Katie, [...]
