VIPs Beware: Dave & Buster’s Grand Opening May Have Bananas

November 30, 2012

I just heard about Dave & Buster’s fancy shmancy grand opening at their new location tomorrow night. Rumor has it anyone can be a VIP from 7 p.m. until 11 p.m. — I sent a message to the super important VIP RSVP email address listed on a secret internet invitation. Even though I’m attempting to [...]

III Forks is out of control special occasion. It’s almost like you shouldn’t be there unless you have something to celebrate. Never has there been more of a special occasion explosion than in this building during dinner Friday night. If ever the word debacle fits perfectly it’s here. There was a debacle of birthdays at [...]

Sea Breeze Fish Market & Grill

November 24, 2012

After stuffing my face with lobster rolls in Boston for three days, I believe it really comes down to a person’s own preference. Some people like a lobster roll in the form of a lobster salad, while others are appalled at the very thought. Hardcore lobster rollers seem to be fond of never frozen real [...]

First Class

November 21, 2012

Going on a trip can cause mental anguish if the traveler has difficulty with the almighty first class upgrade. Sometimes it’s better for some people to stay in coach where they belong. I just so happen to be one of those people. The first thing that recently annoyed my husband was when I asked if [...]

Boulevardier

November 15, 2012

Having only been open a few months, Boulevardier just recently began serving brunch each Sunday from 11am – 3pm. This neighborhood bistro does not release any hoity-toity vibe. Just because it’s French does not mean socialites are going to bulldoze over the regular people. French restaurants usually feel stuffy, but Boulevardier is actually the opposite. [...]

The Grape

November 9, 2012

The words on this page are less about food and more about being mortified. Sorry. Sometimes sharing is a form of therapy following a traumatic experience. Our DJ friend brought a date to dinner at The Grape last week. When his date asked what I do during the day, I told her I write about [...]

Snuffer’s

November 3, 2012

Gratuity was added to our check the first time our party of TWO went to Snuffer’s for a burger. Talking about that day is too rough. The second visit was not on purpose. There is no way I would purposely go back to Snuffer’s. And by the way, sure, everyone just loves Snuffer’s so much [...]
