Pauli’s, Boston, MA USA

Covid had left Boston’s dining scene void of club sandwiches. Hotel restaurants, mainly closed, had limited menus boasting overly creative and mostly unappealing lunch menu items that really catered to the dinner crowd. Cafes and restaurants frequented by commuters looking for lunch were shuttered everywhere throughout the city. At the end of the day, it […]

We needed a vacation. I felt guilty saying that, knowing so many people around the world were unemployed, including 30M here in America. But work during Covid-19 feels like riding a bicycle through mud – you’ll still get there, but you’ll have to try 10x as hard. And that has left both my wife and […]
