What are you doing for New Year’s 2011?
As it is with most people during their busy holiday seasons, I always have an issue with figuring out what the heck I’m going to do for New Year’s Eve every year and usually push it off until last minute. Most of the time, I end up at Killington after about 4+ hours of driving through the blusteriest obstacles you can possibly imagine and get there around the ball drop super stressed and not able to pin down that NYE random kiss :-* Last year I celebrated with Bokx 109 in Newton thanks to an amazing Twitter giveaway–which was an amazing dinner TYVM. This year, I’m celebrating with Boston Event Guide at their Resolution Ball, which I have been interested in checking out over the past few years.. I just didn’t have a date! I...
Samuel Adams Summer Ale®: The Meaning Of New England – Part Two
From Franconia Notch and the now oft missed “Old Man on the Mountain,” New Hampshire is a wonderful New England locality that boasts some of the best camping, hiking, vacationing, and natural sights and sounds of any American state. Loon Lake and with its mountain gondola ride, and Lake Winnipesaukee with its incredible panoramas and but a few of the wonders that await you in The Granite State. New Hampshire is also the home of the first Presidential Primary in the country—a politically distinctive honor. Plus, you’ve got to love their motto, “live free or die!” And of course their lack of sales tax is a much favored quality of this state by New England shoppers. It is a real easy drive up from Boston to Portsmouth. Old Route 1A passes by some really...
Indulgence in the City: Fondue Soirée @ Melting Pot Boston
Monday I was blessed with the invite from Kirsten at the Melting Pot (@MPMARI) in the Park Plaza Hotel to come and check out their amazing array of dippy foods so, being the little socialite I am, I brought my friend, Meg, and plunged right in! I’m glad to say that I did bump into a few of my buddies there @JeffCutler and @FunFearlessBean (and made tons of new friends) and we all started dipping and dunking! Amazingly, Melting Pot also supplied us with an array–and unlimited supply–of flavorful drinks including their red and white sangria, a blueberry-pomegranite tini as well as some sweet apple ice wine. The tini was rimmed with sugar and was super tart and a great contrast to the sweet sangrias and wine passed around like water to...
Samuel Adams Summer Ale®: The Meaning Of New England – Part One
Sitting on the Shelter Harbor beach in Westerly Rhode Island drinking a Samuel Adams Summer Ale®, I ponder a particular question as I have done many times in my life. What is it about New England that is both so uniquely American and yet so different from the rest of the country? Surely every part of the United States of America has its special beauty and fine local color, but New England is special in ways I think only New Englanders can truly appreciate. How so? Let us begin with the dawn of another beautiful New England Summer and a day trip to the enchanting little peninsula known as Cape Cod. From the time Captain John Smith coined the term, New England, back in 1614, this little spur of land has held a lot of history and charm within its small borders for...
5/14/10 Out on the town: ArtBar and Brandon Keith Hair
I think I spent $6 last night. On tips. First of all; HUUUUUGE thanks to CitySearch Christine (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) for the invite to the ArtBar patio opening last night. They had openbar yumyums sponsored by Bacardi, Sam Adams and Grey Goose and I helped myself to a few glasses of super oakey house chardonnay. There were also tons of finger treats being passed around including lobster rolls (super yum), fried clam rolls, beet teases, SPICY wings, chocolate and berry desserts, gazpacho and more.. I think there was also an olive bar on a large table in the middle of the outdoors crowd but I’m not a big fan of olives so I passed. Two thumbs up. Nice waterfront location and the crowd had all the quintessential Cambridge folk. The geeks,...
