California Pizza Kitchen, Boston, MA USA

Boylston street was closed in Boston. What a nightmare. We were trying to make it from Brookline to Boston’s Theater District to celebrate Rachel’s grandmother’s 90th birthday, and all we could find was roadblocks followed by traffic. Make a U turn, find the same thing. I put my drivers cap on and meandered around Beacon […]

Towne Stove and Spirits, Boston, MA USA

The first time I went to Towne for lunch I just couldn’t bring myself to order the smoked salmon club sandwich.

Nicole, Rachel’s friend, had just moved to a “posh” area of […]

Finishing up the work week enjoying lunch with my grandmother – the plan sounded perfect for a Friday afternoon. Yaya, as we call her, was visiting for the month from Palm Beach and staying at the Taj Hotel in Boston on Arlington Street. Due to my traveling, I hadn’t seen her for over a year, so it […]
