Combining the famed food heritage and hospitality of Europe with seasonal local ingredients, Thistle and Leek also combines the culinary pedigree of the legendary Craigie Street Bistro (where chef/owners Kate and Trevor Smith first met) in a cozy and familial space that is (rightfully) winning awards and accolades all over. The Smiths’ united heritages are […]
The Israeli Wine Producers Association is donating proceeds to support Israeli organizations through their Sip for Solidarity program. And while many know that wines from Israel are some of the best and most popular in the world, there is apparently more to Israeli booze than just the fruit of the vine. Named for the eternal
While I recently raved about the long-lasting literarily-linked legend that is Harvard Square’s Grendel’s, I am just as excited to go back to the Square to check out its new sibling site, the Sea Hag.

In addition to
When I lived in Harvard Square many moons ago, I basically lived in the cozy confines of the legendary, literarily-themed eatery known as Grendel’s Den. When I recently visited the Square to promote my book on the Ivy League (www.lionstigersbulldogs.com), I had the chance to return to Grendel’s and to remind myself of all that
It’s October, and that means only one thing- Pretzels! Well, okay, maybe football, school, raking, beer and pretzels, but let’s focus on the food side for now. When it comes to pretzels, I consider myself a connoisseur who is still hoping that Winzer Stube will open a franchise for their Hudson, WI, hofbrauhaus in Greater Boston. Fortunately, we already
