MET Back Bay, Boston, MA USA

Lunch with Bryan – that sounded like a great idea. I was trying to think of a creative spot, but when Bryan asked if I wanted to try the MET Back Bay, I immediately said yes, thinking: “I enjoy the MET in Chestnut Hill; I have yet to try the newer MET Back Bay, let’s […]

224 Boston Street, Dorchester, MA USA

Walking into 224 Boston Street I felt nothing but excitement. I had never dined in Dorchester, but had heard positive reviews about certain neighborhoods and their local “spots.” Tonight was the night to try one out! This was not a decision spearheaded by me.

Henrietta’s Table, The Charles Hotel, Cambridge, MA USA

The Microsoft Outlook Calendar invite arrived in my inbox with a date, time, and place for our meeting: 12:30pm at Henrietta’s Table.  Excellent. I had never dined at Henrietta’s Table, but had heard fantastic reviews. My only excuse was that I went to high-school in Cambridge and after graduating, tended to avoid the Harvard Square […]
