Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
Because laying on the beach wasn’t relaxing enough, we spent our last afternoon in Rhode Island just driving around looking at typical New England streets. We had zero plans and just went wherever the sights seemed worthy. For me, worthiness is often related to food, so I wanted to make sure we tried some authentic…

I get to cross a state off my list now that I have spent a weekend in Rhode Island. Rhode Island never happened to come up in conversation while I was growing up so I pretty much forgot it was a state. I remember someone joined my high school senior year from Rhode Island and…

One restaurant that Lindsay and I both had on our list was Northern Spy Food Co. For a menu full of local and seasonal ingredients, you would think the prices would be steep, but everything is about $15. Everyone has been saying they have a killer brunch; and if everyone is saying it, it must…

$2 isn’t much, but can add up when you’re talking about pricey drinks. Most mixology-focused places charge $14 or $15 for a drink, but Lovers of Today sticks to $13. Still not cheap, but every little bit helps. Like many fancy drink places, this one is something of a speakeasy, located at 132 1/2 E.…

I had no idea how vegetarians survived until eating here. Westville is not a vegetarian restaurant, but the long list of daily market sides is the best thing about this place.

Last Thursday we celebrated Erica’s birthday – 30, Flirty, and Fun! Yes, that’s a quote from “13 Going on 30”, but it also became our theme for the evening. I may have been the only single gal, but the other four married/engaged girls were flirty enough to make our waiter blush and after several cucumber…

I have shrugged off The Soft Serve Fruit Co. as another Pinkberry-esque fro-yo place for about a year. It kind of is, but there is something that sets it apart: its all fruit. Seriously, the only three ingredients are fruit, water, and a little organic cane syrup. The result is true fruit flavor. I stopped…

It had been far too long since I had hung out with my work mentor, Ira. I still hold a grudge for him leaving me all alone at our agency to take a hot-to-trot job on the client side, but it was time to push that aside when I needed his discerning eye for decor.…
