My most faaaaavorite market had a fire last week! I have fond memories of this store (both locations) from when I used to live in Back Bay a couple of years back. I used to swing by the Charles Street shop on my way home from Charlestown and get the best egg salad in the WORLD. DeLuca’s (which claims to be “Boston’s Oldest Grocery Store”) has been a Beacon Hill landmark for over 100 years. What terrible news. I hope the damage is repairable. Beacon Hill just isn’t Beacon Hill without DeLuca’s.
My mom bought me the most delicate book this weekend at anthropologie. It’s so fun it makes me want to call up my girlfriends for some dinner and drinks! The book helps you keep a log of the restaurants you’ve visited, who you went with, what you ate, and what you thought about the meal. A cute idea for keeping dining memories! And it’s really so true– some of the best memories I’ve had with my friends are over a delicious meal. Food and Friends, the perfect pair.
