As summer begins to fade, and Labor Day approaches, many minds turn to plans for that last great barbecue. Fortunately, the Great One does not have to be the last one anymore – thanks to a new grill in town that combines the wonders of outdoor cooking with the comforts of the indoors.

A Capital Idea – Capital Grille has set a new ruling class for steakhouses (Originally published 12/11)
For those who loved escaping the hipness of lower Newbury for the old-school pleasures of Capital Grille, fear not. Though the venue has changed, it is more than the well-established name that has remained the same.
A Theobromine Holiday- Max Brenner brings “health” food to a new level (Originally published 12/11)

If a little is good, a lot must be better, right? So where better to go to get healthy than Boston’s newest chocoholic haven- Max Brenner (www.maxbrenner.com)?
You Belong Here – Brahmin makes you feel right at home with old-school comfort and new-school flair (Originally published 10/11)
And this is good old Boston,
The home of the bean and the cod,
Where the Lowells talk only to Cabots,
And the Cabots talk only to God.
So goes the old rhyme of the Boston Brahmins, a select group of well-to-do aristocrats who ruled the city and (in their own minds at least) the world.
While the once awe-inspiring names Lowell and Cabot may now be relegated to industrial mill towns, amazing third basemen, creameries and ice cream shops, the style in which they once lived lives on in another new positive addition to Stanhope Street that is called, appropriately enough, Brahmin.
Barking Up the RIGHT Tastes – Legendary summer spot worth the trip any time of year (Originally published 4/11)
As summer returns to Boston, many eyes turn towards the sea.

One of these is the Barking Crab, a local spot for seafood and nightlife that has been a seaside staple since 1994.
Make the Right Call – Legendary neighborhood sports bar is SO much more! (Originally published 8/10)
What do you get when you cross over 300 homemade menu items with Boston’s largest martini menu, and throw it all together amidst more than 20 hi-definition televisions and some of the neatest sports memorabilia (and personalities) in town?
Why the Coolidge Corner Clubhouse, of course!
