Sturbridge, MA seems a little out of the way for a lot of people to drum up a reason to go there other than to visit Sturbridge Village, a "living museum" of New England in the 1830's. As it turns out there is another reason to head out to Sturbridge (or stay there if you're from... Continue Reading →
Redlefsen’s Rotisserie and Grill Review – Bristol, RI
German restaurants are few and far between in New England. Sure, there are a few, but compared to other cuisine types, German food is nowhere near as pervasive. I actually tried my first real German restaurant out across the country in San Francisco, CA. That was before I knew anything about what it was like... Continue Reading →
Cucina Mia Cafe and Deli – The Best Deli Style Sandwich in Quincy, MA
When I used to work in Quincy, MA, a few co-workers and I stumbled upon Cucina Mia while desperately searching for another lunch place to break up the monotony of the usual uninspired offerings near the office.

From the Seoul Korean Restaurant Review – North Dartmouth, MA
I stumbled upon From the Seoul while driving by it in North Dartmouth, MA.

I'm not exactly sure why they picked... Continue Reading →
Cranston Greek Festival at the Church of the Annunciation – Cranston, RI
The Cranston Greek festival holds a special place in my heart because it reminds me of my own childhood. I grew up in a church that held its own Egyptian festivals in Rhode Island where I used to volunteer and help out over the weekend. My favorite job to try and wrangle was cutting the gyro...

Before setting out on said road trip, my wife and I have a tradition of waking up early to have a great breakfast at some new or familiar location. On this occasion, we were heading to Connecticut to celebrate my niece's first birthday. My... Continue Reading →
Food Truck Friday at Roger Williams Park – Providence, RI
Food Truck Friday is an event hosted at Roger Williams Park near the iconic Carousel. My wife and I first heard about the event from a friend who happens to work one of the Food Trucks that attend the event. Any place where food trucks congregate is a good place to be, so my wife,...

Tallulah’s Taqueria Review – Providence, RI
I first heard about Tallulah's tacos years ago at the Newport Folk Festival when a friend tried them. It took me a couple of years to finally get around to trying them myself. My taste buds were simultaneously thankful for the gift of truly amazing tacos and angry that I waited so long to introduce... Continue Reading →
