We got a gift certificate to the Cheesecake Factory so we headed over to the Natick Mall (I refuse to call it the Collection).  Normally we avoid the mall because it always seems to be so crazy but we went at 6pm on a Tuesday night and got sat immediately. Cheesecake Factory always reminds me a […]

My friend and I met at the Charles River Coffee House for…coffee.  It’s a nice little shop at 57 Eliot St. in Natick across from the library. I haven’t been there in a long time, actually since it was Clever Monk Coffee which was a few years ago now. Inside is small but manages to accommodate about 15 seats.  Perfect […]

So…happy New Year.  I won’t get into the usual “I haven’t updated because I’ve been so busy” thing.  I do intend on keeping this blog and I’ll update it when I can and as usual, hopefully that will be more often. ANYway…I had a precious weekday off and thought it would be nice to meet a […]

I’ve always wanted to go to the Oregon Club but never got around to it.  I think it was just last year, Ethan and I finally decided to go and found out it was closed(!).  We were happy to hear the former speakeasy re-opened this year and went down one night recently to check it […]

Ah, it’s happened again where time slips away from me and the blog. I’ve been so busy at work that I haven’t had time to really get out and about the Metrowest area much. I was going through some photos I took a couple of months ago and found this one I took of PF […]

My mom and I went to one of our favorite restaurants, Szechuan Garden in Medway. We haven’t been in a while but when we have gone in the past it’s always for the buffet. Not only is the food good but they really shine with their soups. My mom always gets the Hot and Sour: […]

Today we went to Marlborough and had lunch at a fairly new burger place called Five Guys.  This branch of the multi-state chain is at 197 Boston Post Rd. Inside is clean and red and white color themed: I like the open kitchen and they seem to have an efficiently run system for getting the […]

A friend and I checked out the newly opened Pejajamo Cafe in Holliston. As I’ve mentioned before, when I grew up in Holliston, there was very little for food options besides pizza and subs so it’s very impressive to see a crepe place that serves lattes and alcohol. Inside is cute, simple but kind of […]

Dah-Mee in downtown Natick is a great place that offers a variety of Asian cuisine.  It’s  one of those places that my friends and can always agree on meeting at because there is always something on the menu that we’ll be in the mood for. It’s also a fairly short drive to get take-out and […]

Last week a friend and I went to Oga’s in Natick. I couldn’t get a good picture of the interior but it’s pretty sleek and modern inside with some tables having their own rooms. We got a couple of things like edemame and seaweed salad.  Both were what we expected, although I didn’t take pictures, they were […]

I know it’s crazy but I’ve never been to Casey’s in Natick for a hot dog. Last week my om and I decided to head down and see what it’s like. The place is tiny with maybe 10 stools and since it’s a very tight fit in there they have an order window on the […]

As much as we (my mom and sisters) love a good Chinese buffet, we never really frequented Cherry Blossom in Ashland that much but always had a decent experience there.  My mom’s friend who doesn’t really like Chinese food loves this place.  I went here with my mom a while ago since it had probably […]

The other night we went to go check out Lavender. They serve “Asian cuisine” and it’s located in the Shaw’s plaza in Sudbury. Inside is clean and modern with a lavender glow that comes from under the bar area. We started off with an order of Crab Rangoon and Beef Teriyaki. The flash was a […]

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 […]

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. […]
