Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
Happy 4th of July! This holiday is all about being outside in the heat of summer. Rather than sit in the air conditioning, I like to cool down with some frozen treats. If you’re the same, you should check out my new favorite scoop shop, OddFellows. Their first shop opened a year ago in Williamsburg…

I try to refrain from blogging about the same place twice, but when I can’t stop thinking about a restaurant you deserve to hear me sing its praises. Dominique Ansel Bakery is my favorite bakery in the City, maybe even my favorite bakery of all the bakeries there ever were. This is huge considering how…

Maison Keyser is a Parisian bakery that’s gone global. The contents of the case are exactly like what you would expect from a traditional French patisserie. I had to get a tarte because that’s my favorite and while in France I attempted to try every variety my local patisserie had to offer, which meant I…

Our seafood supper was just light enough for us to reserve room for either another drink or dessert. Usually I go for the drink but it was a hot day and ice cream just sounded so perfect. We happened to be right by Karina’s favorite ice cream parlor, Cones, so we walked right in. Karina…

La Maison du Macaron has a ton of great flavors and an adorable cafe to boot. After walking past plenty of times, I was finally in a position where I wasn’t already overstuffed from a meal and was on my way home (since they can’t stay un-refrigerated for long). These macarons easily rank within my…

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…

Every time I’ve tried to join a book club, no one ends up reading the book and even when they do they never want to talk about it. I’m all for drinking wine and gossiping, but if there was zero interest in reading the book, why not just call it dinner? Thankfully, this group actually…

My cousin Jason and his awesome wife Sarah met up with Jill and I during the Cambridge bit of our marathon Saturday afternoon walk. I don’t think I had seen them since the last time I was in Boston – a year ago for their wedding – so it was great to catch up. After…
