For many years, King’s has been known for fun food and great bowling. I am such a fan that I hosted my own 50th birthday there and had an amazing time in one of their private rooms! Now King’s in Back Bay is opening a new special cover-free room at 50 Dalton Street on Friday through
Now that I have found a favorite kombucha on the North Shore (Pigeon Cove Ferments in Gloucester), it was time to look south to find someplace to stop on the way to the Cape or (as turned out to be the case) was worth a trip on its own. Independent Fermentations in Plymouth not only
