Sandwich Works, Newton, MA USA

I rarely make it to Newton Center during lunchtime. I come for my morning coffee (although Starbucks has been closed due to staffing issues for some time), I occasionally get takeout dinner… however, a new experience drags me here weekly: an hour long assisted stretch at Stretchmed.

Nearly every time, my in-laws would mention the club sandwich at Florence.  In fact, I […]

My first real day at my new office in Boston’s Back Bay – super stoked to no longer be working from home full time! I loved being at the end of Newbury Street, adjacent to Berkeley school of music and ample shops/restaurants catering to locals, students, and tourists alike. While I loved my time at […]
