Restaurant Week Bliss: No. 9 Park

Restaurant week is almost over (sad), but I have a few more stories to share (fun). Last week, The Russian and I headed over to the very fancy No. 9 Park, which is owned by Barbara Lynch, another great Boston chef, and the mentor of last season’s Top Chef winner. We walk inside, and I…

Paint + Food + Booze = One Fun Night

Last week, The Russian and I were invited (by way of my awesome job) to check out The Paint Bar, a neat concept on Newbury Street down the street from my place of work.  Painting with booze and food? Awesome. It was totally sweet. The food was really satisfying, with tasty salads and pizzas, which…

Hey all and happy Shark Week! I’m very excited about coming up with new and exciting recipes to celebrate all things shark.  I liked the idea of a parfait, so I made this simple way to celebrate our finned friends last night.  I present to you, shark week parfaits: Another easy fun thing to make…

Shark Week Recipe: Cupcakes

So Shark Week started last night, and I couldn’t be happier.  I’m watching a special shark themed Mythbusters right now.  It’s the start of an awesome week, and many of my friends are of the same mindset.  One in particular, other than my friend Heather with the shark tattoos, is my friend Sierra.  She is…

Take a bite out of Shark Week

So Shark Week is this week, and I’m excited. Shark Week is a fun time, especially if you like sharks, like a very good friend of mine.  Her name is Heather, and she loves sharks. LOVES SHARKS. She loves them. She has a shark tattooed on her arm.  She talks about sharks daily. While I…

Check out some posts I did on BuzzFeed

In an attempt to make something of myself, I have been applying to real–life jobs for a little bit (though I would never abandon this blog no matter what job I have), and one of those jobs is at BuzzFeed, which is a sweet website that brings new and interesting news to the masses in…

I barely made it back but I still have a recipe

I made it back from Camp Bisco, guys.  Just barely.  It was a great weekend, full of friends, music, and pretty decent weather. And dancing.  Lots of dancing.  When I first got back from Bisco I slept 24 hours, and I still have yet to get out of bed. The funny thing is, I’m sure…

Off for a few days to Never Never Land

Not sure if I have mentioned this, but I love to go to festivals.  I’ve been to a bunch in my life, from Ultra in Miami a few years ago to Lolapalooza in Chile last year. This week I head home to New York for a few days to attend Camp Bisco in Mariaville, NY. …

Exploring the SoWa Market

Yesterday, I had a day off from work and decided to try the SoWa market for the first time, since it’s a travesty that I haven’t gone before. I love open–air markets, being from NYC, they’re all over the place, and I have found some great items in streetside fairs in US and abroad.  I…

Frugal Foodie in Florida!

So this Tuesday, The Russian and I are joining some friends in (hopefully) sunny Ft. Lauderdale.  My friend from college has a pretty large house out there and is letting us stay for the week. While I will try to post on the food and sun, I am not sure how often I will get…
