Harvest Restaurant is nestled down in one of Harvard Square’s little nooks and has a fabulous patio for this time of year. I was lucky to attend one of Harvets’ “The Book and the Cook” evenings a while back and loved it. The setup is great, you sit with other guests side by side…

Crew Edition: Weekend Guide
This weekend is the world famous Head of the Charles Regatta. It should be a perfect weekend for it, unlike that one year when it rained so hard they actually had to cancel it. The scenery is just at it’s prime with the beautiful leaves. Take a walk away from the Charles and for a…
Lunch in Harvard Square: Beat Brasserie
Whether you’re a parent and have school-aged children, you are on a tight budget this week/month/year, or you are just not a night person, lunch out is the perfect replacement for dinner out. Sometimes, you are happy with a yoghurt and some granola at your desk, but other times you need to step away from…
A Brunch to Love Wholeheartedly: Alden & Harlow
You know that moment when a new house crosses over and becomes a home. It is when the memory of the rooms, as anything other than what they are today, has completely faded except perhaps if you catch a glimpse of a little hook left in a closet from a former resident or a scrap…
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…

PIN: Pencil it in this week(end)
Tis the season of excess, from spending to indulging, but my favourite kind of excess is overloading the calendar with so many wonderful holiday, community, seasonal events. It is fun if you don’t try to have your cake and eat it too. Choose the ones you want to go to and (if you have young…
Mom & Daughter Night Out: Oysters and Burgers in Harvard Square
Sometimes, especially in the summer, you need to divide and conquer. Tonight the boys stayed in and ate farm fresh veggies. The girls went out on the town. Originally, we planned to get $1 oysters at Noir in the Charles hotel (as mentioned on their Facebook Page) but it turned out that there was a…
Being Pampered: Wet Paint Nail Spa & Corbu
I don’t get my nails done often, but I do appreciate a good manicure. The other day as I was sitting at Wet Paint Nail Spa waiting for my nails to dry, a very pregnant mama or mama-to-be waddled into the spa. I reminisced about how I felt I had to have a pedicure before…
Our Rockefeller: Charles Square Tree Lighting
As a family we are New Yorkers at the core intertwined with our new Bostonian and Cantabrigian roots. Aside from the fact that, as a family unit, we don’t celebrate Christmas (that’s just at Grandma’s house) there is still something magical about the Rockefeller Center treeand the tree lighting. We check in with one another about…
