A great little Saturday.

February 18, 2010

Last Saturday, Andrea and I met up for a lovely brunch and strolled around Beacon Hill and downtown Boston for a good part of the afternoon. We went to Panificio on Charles Street and had a delicious meal with huge coffee cups filled to the brim. I had eggs benedict and it was great. Just so great.

After catching up over eggs, pancakes and coffee we decided to take the plunge and head down Charles Street. LOVE. Second Time Around treated me very nicely– I found a pear of j.crew dream cords (a really pretty rich green) and a pear of AG chocolate brown cords. STEAL! That was my clothes shopping for the month and I am ever so pleased.

I also got a steal on a pair of great ballet flats. Moxie was having a super shoes sale and I found some black leather fs/ny flats for 40% off! Yipee! I tried them on for size and then bought them instantly. There was no way I was leaving without those shoes. Double steal. YES.

I don’t just think I’m in love with these shoes, I KNOW I’m in love.

After all my frivilous shopping (still following the rules though, I promise) I found Hannah and Todd shooting the wedding registration gun at Macy’s. What a dream. Picking out all those glorious pots and pans and such. I think I was more excited than the two of them combined when I first got there. I mean seriously though, it’s so exciting! New Stuff! It was fun to help them pick out things they wanted, such as which Le Creuset color to go with. Glory.

What a great little Saturday.

Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

January 7, 2010

Boston’s MFA is a great place to visit, especially on Wednesday nights. After 4 pm on Wednesday’s admission is free! It’s such a beautiful Museum too, with so much different art work to appreciate. They have a nice cafe, that I’ve been to before- and the gift shop is must-stop while you’re there too. Last night was a quick trip for me, but I’ll have to go back soon. I do love just wandering around looking at my favorites. They also frequently change their exhibitions, so there is always something new to see each time you visit.

Paris Creperie

November 25, 2009

The Paris Creperie, located in Coolidge Corner, is just so delicious it makes me melt. I stopped by here tonight to grab a quick dinner before my class. I decided to go for my staple item: the ham and gruyere cheese crepe. Delicious with a capital “D”. I love coming here for a fast bite, or even a weekend brunch. It gets pretty crowded on the weekends, but it’s well worth waiting for a table. The place is UBER small, but that’s part of what I love about it. They have a million different kinds of crepes to choose from, or if you’re picky you can make your own! My other favorite kind to get is the Nutella and banana crepe. That one is DELECTABLE (spelled with all caps!). It is so mouth watering you won’t even believe it’s real. You’ll probably have to pinch yourself just to make sure you’re not dreaming. I’m serious, it’s that good.

So next time your around Coolidge Corner, stop by the Paris Creperie! Choose one that you find appetizing, get it to go (and one for me while your at it) and stop on by the old apartment! We can hang out and catch up. Drink coffee with eggnog and devour our crepes together. What are you waiting for? Get on over here! It’ll be GREAT!

Drinks at the Roadhouse: taste victory.

November 8, 2009

Last night, we headed over to the Roadhouse in Washington Square to meet up with our friends Hillary and John for some drinks. They have a huge selection of craft beers, and it’s fun to try the different kinds. Last night I went with the Alagash White- not too creative but one that I do enjoy. Zan got the Ithaca Flower Power IPA and was very excited about it because it’s one of his favorites from back in the day at Hobart. Last night the Roadhouse was pretty empty, which was strange for a Saturday night, but the atmosphere is nice and we had a fun time. I’ve eaten here before, when the theme was BBQ, but it looks like they have changed their menu to Baja Bayou (whatever that means?). Hm, maybe they aren’t doing so well? I’ll have to go back sometime soon and try out the new food. I really liked the old food and it’s a bummer that they changed it. They used to have deep fried pickles, which were incredible, so I hope that’s still on the menu. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

Here’s some pics from last night:
