There are Italian restaurants in the North End of Boston that are so small and authentic that most of the seating situations are right on top of one another. At times, you will sit next to another party and even though you are strangers, a mere inch between tables separates you and it feels as though you are sharing [...]

A few weeks ago I was contacted by the lovely Justine of Brand About Town, who bestowed upon me an opportunity to become a Brand Enthusiast for Nintendo. We met, we continued to email and the next thing I knew, I was about to host one of the funnest parties I’ve ever attended. The catch [...]
I spent some time at home this weekend visiting my parents. As much as I love living in the city, it’s nice to be in a place where you don’t feel like you have to scan your car for valuables and make sure every last door is locked before heading inside.
It’s also nice to enjoy [...]
I spent a lot of my life working at a fried seafood joint in the suburbs – which has recently been converted to a sit down, Greek Restaurant – and they really did have the best fried clams and onion rings in the world. But because back in high school and college I was actually [...]

As I’ve mentioned before, getting better at taking good photos is one of [...]
This weekend Mike and I chatted with some of our Philly friends about how the two cities have so much history and coincidentally I spent my Sunday with Lisa walking around one of the historical landmarks of Boston.
Castle Island in South Boston has a beautiful view of the ocean and the beaches scattered around it [...]
For the first time, Mike and I left the kittens home alone for an entire weekend. To prepare, we left out extra bowls of food and water, closed all the closet doors and the door to the bathroom, we made sure our basil plant was up high and unreachable and we shut the windows slightly [...]
As much as I have been bitten by the travel bug, I can be the kind of person that all too easily lets things like work, weddings and other commitments get in the way of planning my next trip. The other day Mike had to remind me that we missed the deadline that I set [...]
This weekend I went to one of the most beautiful weddings ever and I’m not just saying that because the bride and groom are close friends.
For the past few weeks, most of New England was hit with rain that seemed like it would never end, but the second this special weekend arrived, the sun finally [...]
