Seth Greenberg has long been known as the man behind Mistral, Mooo, M80, and many more massive hits.This spring, he will make his latest splash on the banks of the Charles River when he opens MonteVerdi at the Four Diamond Royal Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge. Turning the German into Italian, MonteVerdi pays tribute to the Greenberg’s […]
My family and I are fortunate enough to have been invited by my wonderful in-laws to Italy next month. And while I enjoy spending time with them and have long wanted to see the stadium that was inspired by Harvard (Ha!), I recently found a new reason to not go- or at least to not
Another Pi Day has come and gone, but for fans of doing good for others and great food and drink, I have good news! As Matt’s Meals fans know, I also work with an organization called Project Insulin (a.k.a., “PI”) that is working to craft a generic insulin that will allow people who cannot afford
Though I am still not over the loss of Latina in Needham Center, the new spot om the corner looks to be a new favorite. Called the Common Room, the space brings together industry veterans from Hamilton in Brookline, Caffe Graffiti and Dante in Boston and the Salem Food Market in a comfy space that

While we have lost some great places in recent months (including Latina in my now native Needham), one of my favorite haunts from a lifetime ago is back and better than ever! When I started my writing career, Davis Square in Somerville was a regular stop. And when I was not reviewing music at Johnny
As temperatures drop, those of us who still want to dine al fresco are finding fewer options and opportunities. Fortunately, one of Newbury Street’s hottest hot spots is doing all it can to keep you warm even when the weather is not. As the overseer of one of the biggest patios in Boston, Eva has made its
Living in Needham, I am blessed with tons of great places to eat! And while I mourn the loss of Latina, I still love digging into pizza at Hearth, dining at The Farm House, hanging at Blue on Highland, and spending time with the Winiker Brothers at Cook, and I am now looking forward to
While I admittedly talk a better food game than I create, I still like to learn. That is why I was so bummed when Create-a-Cook closed and why I am so excited to see the space being revamped as Third Space Kitchen & Events. I recently met owner Eric Brown and found that he also
