I’ve had a lot of action in Cambridge Porter Square lately! I’m selling my book about the Ivy league at Dudley Café (a great place in Cambridge and Boston that is run by my friends at Shanti, which is still one of my favorite restaurants in the area!) and am looking forward to returning to […]
It’s the end of October, which means only one thing- it’s time for the Mardi Gras-themed Pumpkin Bash at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge! Backed by the legendary Vudu Krewe, long-time music scene stalwart Shaun “Wolf” Wortis will jam along with other local legends at a charity-minded, costume-optional hootenanny that is sure to be a
Though it has been some time since I wrote about music, I still get a thrill about catching my favorite acts at area venues! And if I can enjoy a delicious meal at the same time- All the better! In fact, Matt’s Meals was very much created when I was transitioning from reviewing bands until

Though I still miss Galit’s Treats in Newton Centre, the growing family of Bakey bakeries has helped ease the pain with their delicious menu of babkas and other bodacious baked goods. I really can’t get enough of this place and have made their locations in Boston, Brookline, and Newton regular hosts for business meetings and
I love to talk about independent restaurants, especially when they are run by a family! That is why I am so excited to share the news about the recent opening of the Post 1917 steakhouse in Reading. Located within the former home of Reading’s century-old post office, Post 1917 combines local charm with city quality, both of
I recently went to another new restaurant to hear the Winiker Brothers play. As they had played at such favorite spots as Brothers in Brookline and Cook in Needham (and my wedding), I was sure that the latest stop on their legendary tour would be worth the trip as well. Boy was it! Neroli in
Seth Greenberg has long been known as the man behind Mistral, Mooo, M80, and many more massive hits.His latest splash on the banks of the Charles River is the recently-opened MonteVerdi at the Four Diamond Royal Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge.
