Tonight I met a friend at Sweet Pepper (385 Boston Post Rd.) in Sudbury.  I’m not a big Thai food person but I love Pad Thai.  Since there are no Thai places in Framingham, it’s been a while since I’ve had that dish, so when my friend asked me to meet here here I was more […]

Oliva’s Market in Milford, on Rt. 16/ E. Main St. (even their website doesn’t give an exact street address) is a place that I know has been around for a long time because I’d go by it all the time but never went.  I heard that they have great Italian sandwiches, even one that is their […]

I find this place interesting […]

Last week we went to try Stone’s Public House (formerly John Stone’s Inn).  This one of those places I grew up knowing about but never went to, so Ethan and I went for lunch to see what it was like. Inside was pretty much what I expected, cozy and comfortable.   Since we were there at an odd […]
