This past week I continued to take advantage of everyone’s increased interest in going out to eat during Restaurant Week and went out to two highly anticipated first visits to Smith & Wollensky and Bond. Smith & Wollensky We went to Smith & Wollensky after work on Monday for dinner at 6PM. I’m assuming this … Continue reading
One of my favorite fan pages to follow on Facebook, Boston’s Hidden Restaurants, posted an article from the NY Post this morning regarding time limits for diners at restaurants.

Sunday afternoon, my friend, Kathy (aka www.thirtybe4thirty.com), and I had planned to go for a lunch date.

I’ll call it “The short list”. This week’s short list … Continue reading

Most of all I despised everything that was pink meaning anything that was the color pink (minus … Continue reading
This evening’s food adventure was with my family. My grandparents are up in the Boston area and they ventured into the city to come see my cousin’s new apartment in the North End and get some tasty Italian food.
