The Oregon Club in Ashland is one of those placed that people knew well or never heard of.  It’s been around since the 20’s as it’s first incarnation as a SpeakEasy and then a restaurant.  I used to know someone who waited tables there and always thought it sounded worth checking out.  What kept me […]

So I went back to Boloco and while the burritos were still okay and I didn’t realise until I got home they forgot to put one in my to-go bag.  Since I had a gift card I decided to try a milkshake and that was pretty decent but the impressive part was the cup it […]

We were craving Pad Thai the other night and have not been blown away with any of the metrowest places we’ve been to yet, so we decided to try Morn’s in Wayland. We got take out but it looks nice inside. Although beware it is dimly lit so anyone who has trouble reading menus should […]

One of my friends from High School, Tom, has been raving about the pumpkin pie blizzard at DQ and we got another Hollistonian to come out to Ashland and try this treat that Tom has been raving about. Behold the Pumpkin Pie Blizzard: Even though I didn’t get it with whipped cream as Tom suggested it […]

You’d never guess by looking at this picnic area that this used to be one of the best McDonald’s Playlands around.  This Westboro location had it all:  hot metal slides, merry-go-rounds that taught kids about centrifugal force the hard way, the safe-haven of the Mayor McCheese tower which left parents powerless upon claiming their children. Why […]

Last week I stopped by Dowse Orchard on Rt.27 in Sherborn.  They offer PYO apples and also have a little stand where they sell apples by the peck and half peck plus all sorts of goodies like locally made fudge, ready-to-bake apple crisp, local honey and the best cider I’ve ever tasted, which they make themselves.  Dowse […]

I’ve wanted to go to this place for a while now.  They’re only open for breakfast and lunch during the week and closed on Sundays so I just haven’t found myself available or in the area on the one day a week I can go. Finally last Saturday Ethan and I made the drive out […]

We actually went here a while ago, sorry I’ve been bad about posting, things have been very busy and I spent the past week on Oregon etc… I was interested in Boloco not because I like burritos but just that it was new and looked interesting so we went in to try it.  The inside is clean […]

We went out with my aunt and uncle a while ago to the Villa in Wayland.  I’ve always heard about this place but never been here.  It seems like they have their regulars and do a steady business. We weren’t very exciting an pretty much all got the same thing- Parms of some sort but […]

In the Westborough Shopping center is a Boston Market that used to be Abdow’s Big Boy.  I’m not sure how this became a thing to do but probably once a month my family would drive form Holliston to Westborough and pretty much spend an evening in this plaza, starting with a dinner at Abdow’s, then walk over to Caldor, […]

My aunt and I were meeting up at the Natick Mall Collection and she reccomended the Nordstrom’s cafe.   I didn’t even know this existed, but it’s inside the store by the women’s clothing area. The sevice set up is like York’s Steak House.  You go place your order at the register and then go pick a seat and a server comes […]

Saturday we went to Out Post Farm in Holliston for some corn and saw a welcomed (to me anyway) sign of fall: Beautiful pumpkins! Growing up in Holliston, my sisters and I would always get our pumpkins at either Arcadia Farm or Out Post.  The added plus to Out Post is their broasted chicken, which was always […]

Ethan and I went to the Shaw’s  plaza on a mission with a Dollar Store purchase and decided to try taking home some Pad Thai from Krua Khun Yah.  As some people have pointed out, there are not a lot of Thai places around here so we’re always up for trying out our noodle favorite dish. […]

When I worked at Wellesley College, my friends and I would often go down to Marino’s (now Belkin’s) Lookout Farm. It’s a really nice place to take a break and look around the nice market they have inside: In addition to their great house-made take out foods, they also have gelato, which on a summer day […]

When I started working in Westborough, my fellow employee and Westborough native, Brendan showed me all the good placed to eat.  Regatta Deli was one of our first lunchtime fieldtrips. Inside is a small but not cramped space that you can sit in but it seemed most people (including us) got sandwiches to go. They have […]
