Bachelor party weekend. That's what was happening the first time I tried Vejigantes. About a dozen of my closest friends took me out for lunch at Vejigantes on the second day of my weekend-long bachelor party bash in Boston (say, "Bachelor party bash in boston" three times fast). I'm not exactly sure why they picked... Continue Reading →
Cafe Sushi Review – Cambridge, MA
As part of a birthday celebration, a friend suggested that we all get some sushi from Cafe Sushi. He'd been raving about it for a while and took his opportunity to have the rest of us try it out. The restaurant offers some of the usual pieces of fish that all sushi restaurants feature, but Cafe Sushi's... Continue Reading →
Townsman Review – Boston, MA
I have been waiting for Townsman to open in Boston ever since hearing the sad news that Chef Matthew Jennings was closing up his incredible restaurant, Farmstead, in Providence, RI. Two friends invited my wife and I to join them for dinner when they secured a rare weekend reservation. We all couldn't wait to see if... Continue Reading →
Craigie on Main – Cambridge, MA – Restaurant Review
I first heard about Craigie on Main when a friend was telling me about how he tried their incredible burger. From then on, I assumed that the restaurant was more like a pub than anything else. As it turns out, Craigie on Main is more known for their casual yet fine dining cuisine because their burger... Continue Reading →

My friends started naming Vietnamese places in Rhode Island and simultaneously crossing them off the... Continue Reading →

Warehouse Bar and Grille – Boston, MA
During my bachelor party weekend, a few of my friends decided to take me out to dinner on Friday night while we waited for some of the other guys to show up. We had a couple of suites rented at the Hilton Boston, so we looked for somewhere to eat close by that would allow... Continue Reading →
Lumiere – Newton, MA
I may have mentioned that my birthday and my fiance's birthday are a mere seven days apart. As a result, we decided that instead of scrambling within one week to get gifts for one another and essentially trade off festivities, we decided that each year we would take one another out to a great meal....

Shake Shack – Chestnut Hill, MA
Yes, Shake Shack is a chain, but it's not a chain we've had in Massachusetts prior to 2013. As with all newly opened chain restaurants from another area, people feel the need to start hyping up the quality. I heard all kinds of things ranging from, "It's way better than Five Guys," and then sacrilege... Continue Reading →
