Women & Whiskey: Whisky and Women

I often joke that I like an old man’s drink. I have an affinity for the taste of whiskey and in fact I grew up under the atmosphere of it with the Seagram’s factory in my backyard. I have memories of a sweet earthy scent that would sit heavily in the air almost suffocating to…

Mother’s Day Celebrations Three Ways

One of the reasons I love living in New England, especially this time of year when the snow has melted (except this year’s snow farms) and the buds are blooming, is that New England is a wonderful place to travel. Mother’s Day weekend can be an outing into Boston for a stroll and brunch or…

Episodes with Mr. B: Boston Ballet’s Shades of Sound

Boston Ballet’s Shades of Sound, as I mentioned in my previous post, is a three course meal. For me, watching Episodes, was like biting into something familiar but then not quite understanding what it was. Episodes was choreographed by George Balanchine (Mr. B) and premiered in May of 1959 with the New York City Ballet. Episodes is made…

You don’t have to wait for the warm breezes of summer to dine al fresco. Battery Wharf Hotel has a wonderful location nestled between the water and Boston’s North End. Their swanky Aragosta Bar is a wonderful place to go for date night or a cocktail, but even more fun is snuggling under a blanket…

Snow Birds & Tequila Flights: Escape to Olé

Even though the sun is shining and it feels warm on our faces, just about this time of year, we might all like to imagine jetting off to somewhere that allows you to step outside without an extra 10 lbs (that’s not even including all that carbo-loading we’re doing to hibernate) of boots and coats…

Sex, Drugs & Rock & Roll: Boston Ballet is at it again

Dapper men in droves, mean girls, fantasy suites, making out, hooking up, and Champagne flowing more freely than opinions on a certain striped dress, and no I’m not talking about The Bachelorette. The sex is implied (so don’t worry about bringing the kids.) The drugs are free-flowing Champagne or perhaps the intoxication is just the…

Super Hunger Brunch 2015

The Super Hunger Brunch is one of my favourite brunches of the year. It is a wonderful day where restaurants in the Boston area continue to work so hard and this time all of the profits go to the Greater Boston Food Bank. There really is no excuse to not do brunch this coming weekend. On…
