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 is real […]

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 a dry […]

I don’t drink a lot of beer but when I do, it’s to really enjoy the craft of a fine brew.
One of the few beers I feel is a taste experience is “Blackened Voodoo”.   This is actually my all time favorite beer (lager), ever, ever. 
The New Orleans based brewery was destroyed by Katrina in 2005.  […]

I like Weston Nurseries(located on 135 in Hopkinton) because there is a great assortment, nice people and a beautiful layout.
Whenever I go here for something I always end up walking around and looking at everything thinking I can somehow fit it in my tiny yard.  It’s a great place to go and just look at everything […]

Since I’m sitting at the computer sweating at 10:30PM I thought I’d post about our recent trip to Tasty Treat in Ashland.   This is one of our top picks when it comes to going out for an ice cream.    I guess there’s nothing too special about it but it’s a nice place to go for […]

Last Sunday my mom and I went to have breakfast at Joan and Ed’s Deli in Sherwood Plaza (Natick)
For any one who has never been, Joan and Ed’s has been around a long time and serves kosher “style” food.  Deli sandwiches, entrees, salads breakfast and desserts.
In the lobby there is the dessert case, the deli/take-out […]

Growing up in Holliston’s “south side” we spent a lot of time going to Milford and one of our favorite places for Chinese food was, and still is Pago Pago on rt. 16.
I guess I should make a note here, since sometimes I’ll make a post on thisisframingham about a Chinese restaurant and someone feels the need […]

What can I say?  I love Tatnuck.  They took an empty Star Market in the Westborough Shopping Center and turned it into an awesome independent bookstore.  Don’t let the modest lowercase lettering fool you, (t)Tatnuck competes with the corporate bookstores down the road and thanks to local support, continues to be part of the local business scene.
I remember their former […]

I started a new job in Westborough last month and finally have the pleasure of going Route 9 west instead of east in the morning.  I decided to take advantage of this and try Red Barn Coffee.  I’m almost embarrassed to admit I’ve never been to any Red Barn before.  I know it’s been around […]

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 our we had […]
