Durham has some great little restaurants and I love the emphasis on farm to table food. But, let’s be honest, the restaurant selection here will never rival Boston’s! So, on our last night in beantown, we got to try one more swanky south end gem: Sibling Rivalry. The dinner was compliments of a giftcard from none other than my sibling:) Sibling Rivalry is unique because the menu was created by two brothers who each interpreted a certain ingredient to create…

Boston is truly an amazing city filled with great restaurants, unique bars, and beautiful sights… Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the my Best of Boston! I apologize that I don’t have links to all of the recommendations – I visited some of these places before I started blogging. Obviously, most of my categories are food related, starting with the best… Places to Eat Pizza The Pizza and Ice Cream Company (PICCO) Coppa Penguin Pizza Places for a Cocktail The…
I simply couldn’t leave Boston without visiting the new Max Brenner for the chocolate pizza. If you’re not familiar with the bald man below, he’s created an entire chocolate restaurant. So, last night we met Lauren and Evan for one last double date:( We couldn’t resist trying one of the adult beverages, so Matt and I split a drink with peanut and caramel liqueur and chocolate. It tasted like a milkshake, which was a good thing, but I was hoping…
It’s freezing and rainy today and I can’t get to the window to close it! But, I’m making a lot of progress! I’d say I’m more than half way packed, but I keep finding piles of stuff hidden away in cabinets and corners…and I’m out of boxes. I went to the gym for a quick run/stair climber combo and then had to go to city hall to get a moving permit. It was quite the interesting experience, but I…
Last night was full of more goodbyes:( My wonderful supervisor took us our for dinner and drinks and we were luckily enough to get a patio seat at Dillon’s on a beautiful evening. I had two glasses of one of my go-to rieslings (Saint M) with dinner. I’m picky about white wine, but on a hot day it can be so refreshing. The table shared some of the biggest sweet potato fries I have ever seen. These were awesome! I…
WOW. I had one of the most memorable dining experiences last night. I’m so lucky to have had the opportunity to try some incredible Boston restaurants over the past three years and last night was in the top five best meals I’ve ever had (in Boston). [Disclaimer – one of the themes of my blog is balance, and just so ya know, this next month is NOT going to be balanced since we’re hitting all our favorite restaurants before moving,…
Yesterday afternoon I said goodbye to the high school and hello to the bar:) Let’s just say the beers were going down fast. I had a Sam Brick Red, Abita Purple Haze, and a Long Trail Ale over the course of the afternoon. I hung out with my co-interns as well as some new people and there were lots of good laughs. It was a really an amazing afternoon. Then, Matt arrived and bought me a mojito! A group…
I mentioned yesterday that my Sunday afternoon involved visiting a museum and drinking some of the good stuff. The family I babysit for managed to score two free tickets to Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, and since I’ve never been, I figured I should go before I leave. What I didn’t know was that there was a breathtaking exhibit of Chihuly’s blown glass creations on display. What a treat! I’m honestly not a big fan of those 1800’s paintings of…
Ciao. For once, I’m not sad the weekend is over. This week is my LAST week of internship and I’m so excited for the journey to begin. This weekend was supposed to be low key, but it became more extravagant because Matt and I kept saying we only have two weeks left in Boston…. Saturday, we headed to the North End for one last dinner in little Italy. We choose Davide simply because we had a restaurant.com gift certificate. I…
