You don’t have to be at Fenway to gather with Red Sox Nation and enjoy the game. You don’t have to be sitting on your couch either. You don’t have to bring the kids to a local sports bar to watch the game either. Today you have the perfect solution: Out of the Park. Out…

Definition: Serendipity
Serendipity is waking up to the sound of an alarm clock except you did not set an alarm. Mother and daughter got back late from the ballet. Husband texted that he was going to swim early in the morning. At 7:15 the construction trucks outside back up and sound like an alarm. I stumble into…
Kirkland Tap and Trotter: Brunch
Kirkland Tap and Trotter, which just over the Cambridge border, outside of Harvard Square, is the guy (could be girl but since Chef Tony Maws is a guy this analogy works better that way) on campus that everyone wants to know. It’s not the Big Man on Campus but the really nice, approachable, easy going…
Long Island: Closer than You Think
When I was a high school student in New York, Memorial Day weekend was a long awaited weekend, because it was the kickoff to summer. For many of my friends that meant it was time to kick off shoes, trade cars for mopeds and take the ferry to Block Island. It has been a long…
Rhubarb Spoon Sweets: Sofra
What you see is the blushing pink of the local spring rhubarb. What you don’t see is the rose. The spoon sweets keep the tartness of rhubarb and mix with the earthy floral fragrant quality of rose water. It is like a spring walk through the neighbourhood. You feel the cool of the morning breeze…
Fenway + Yoga = FenwaYoga
My daughter loves her yoga classes. I grew up in a family of yogis. I even enjoyed going to mom and baby yoga. When the yoga was for me though, I have given it several tries and it just wasn’t an experience I enjoyed. My mind would feel like it was on hyperspeed and my…
Family Time in Long Island Wine Country
One of the reasons I love living is Boston is that you can get just about anywhere from here. In an hour or so you can be at the beaches on Cape Cod or the Islands, you can settle into the base of a mountain in Vermont, or you can walk the rocky shores of…
Kontokosta Winery: North Fork Long Island
On a recent trip to the North Fork region of Long Island, I was invited to a tasting and reception at Kontokosta Winery. Kontokosta is an exquisite winery with property that stretches out to the water and a gorgeous tasting room. Of course, the setting cannot overshadow the wines, so I’m happy to say that…
Bedell Cellars: North Fork Long Island
I am not a wine snob, a wine connoisseur, or a sommelier in training, but I know what I like and I think I have a pretty good palate when it comes to food and wine. I navigate the world of wine by relying on those who know it well. I always ask to talk…
Ruby’s Cove, Greenport Long Island: B&B Review
Ruby’s Cove in Greenport Long Island is a quirky, bed and breakfast on Long Island in the town of Greenport. The town itself is perfect for a weekend getaway. Just a short walk to the beach and an equally short walk into town you can leave your car behind and enjoy time away from home…
On Pointe and Prickled Tink: Pricked with the Boston Ballet
Boston Ballet’s newest show, Pricked, was a bit of a mystery for me. When I first heard the title I thought perhaps it would be an interpretation of Sleeping Beauty . I don’t like to read too much about a performance before I see it, because I want to experience the performance in my own…
I Am a Transvestite
This morning, on the drive home from dropping the kids off at school, I turned off the kid’s requested station (103.3) because I didn’t feel dressed for the clubs nor was I intoxicated enough to be listening to what was formerly known as dance music and who knows what it is now and turned on…
