Langham Hotel City Brunch
Boston is becoming known as a world-class foodie spot. The problem (as we know well, Jordan) is choosing where to go for the best of what’s new and fresh in the region.
Fortunately, Chef Mark Sapienza and his talented team at the Four Diamond-rated Langham Hotel in Boston has brought many of the best bites of Boston and beyond to one place at one time.
Every Sunday starting September 11, the Langham will feature Chef Sapienza’s City Brunch. At this weekly wonderland, locally-sourced items are combined in traditional and contemporary ways to offer locals and tourists alike a true taste of the city that is quickly becoming a hub of the gastronomic universe.
At this interactive dining experience, guests can enjoy artisan meats and seasonal produce at the Langham’s edition of the popular Boston Public Market, as well as local cheeses, breads and fruits from the New England Farmstead section, Italian delicacies from the North End, and an epic seafood display that is appropriately entitled the Seaport District. There are also power breakfast items available in the Financial District and family-friendly fare in the Boston Public Garden, where younger guests can enjoy fresh and healthy versions of such popular items as mini hot dogs, country fried chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese bites and even personal pizzas! It truly has something wicked awesome for everyone and all the delicious information can be found at www.langhamhotels.com/boston.

Boston Local Food Fest
As Boston becomes more of a thought leader in the food space, it ha also become a leader in the local food craze. Perhaps nowhere is this more evident than at the Boston Local Food Fest which will be returning for its seventh year on September 18 from 11-5 all along the Rose Kennedy Greenway.

For Passover, Beacon Hill Bistro is the place to let yourself go (Originally published 3/14)
While it is one of Boston’s finest eateries, the acclaimed Beacon Hill Bistro (www.beaconhillhotel.com) may not be the first place you think of when it comes time to plan your next seder. And yet, under the watchful eye of Chef Josh Lewin, it may be more appropriate than you might think! After all, Chef Lewin’s 2013 Passover dinner was one of the highpoints of the gastronomic season, and this year is sure to be even better!
A Diner with a DIFFERENCE – South Street Diner offers blue plate specials and SO much more! (Originally published 1/15)
Food trends and the restaurants that chase them come and go, but the diner will be for always. From the days of the horse-drawn carts to the Golden Age of the Worcester Lunch Cart Company, the diner has always been a place where people from all walks of life can gather and eat with friends or, if they come alone, to make new ones.
Such is certainly the case with the South Street Diner in Boston. However, it offers so much more!
A Sweet Treasure – Robin’s Candy offers treats for Chanukah and every day (Originally published 12/14)
Most children grow up in responsible homes where candy is only offered as a special treat. As the granddaughter of the owners of a popular candy shop in New York, Robin Hefland grew up literally surrounded by candy. Spending many delicious days taste testing and getting to know some of the all-time classic candies, she also learned what it took to make customers happy, even without sugar in their systems.
Years later, as the owner of Robin’s Candy (www.robinscandy.com), Helfand continues to bring those familial lessons and delicious treats to friends across the Commonwealth and around the world.
