Ciao Bella is giving away fullsized servings of their gelato and sorbet tomorrow, Sunday, in Harvard Sq next to Peet’s., 12 – 5. Blood orange, maple ginger, blackberry, pistachio, coconut, vanilla, perhaps a couple...

Well I certainly envy you if $55 per person is your idea of C-H-E-A-P, but I would recommend Union Square Cafe if you can get in – it has its detractors who make valid points, but I think it’s a solid meal and a great...

word) to music; (h) both activities make life worth living. I COULD go on, but this is a PG-13 site, right? There are writers with whom one REALLY connects, and writers with whom one REALLY does not. I have never been able to...

on the bottle—it’s marked “eau de vie” not calvados, marc, poire williams or other. We would like to serve it as a digestif but I don’t want to kill anyone. Our reception is at a restaurant but they...

I’ve traversed Nova Scotia, trading the bucolic salty south shore for the bucolic salty north, where I scored a surprisingly inexpensive room ($125 Canadian) at hoity-toity Blomidon Inn (195 Main Street, Wolfville, Nova...

Jody Williams, the chef at Giorgione, left a couple of months ago and will be the chef at a restaurant in the West Village, Gusto. Since her departure, the food reports from Giorgione have been pretty bad.

My weekly blog group almost always goes to Smile Thai in Harvard Sq. Plenty of dishes under $11, and they have a second room with a large table. We’ve never had a problem taking as many as 20 in there on a Thursday. Link:...

I need a new gasket for my Moka Express (3-shot size). Sur La Table is all out of the small sizes—are there any other stores (preferably on the east side) that would carry these? I called Williams-Sonoma and they...

Gould on Taft. That might be worth checking into, too. Or call Brennan’s Houston—they always do festive holiday meals. I also think you should try Pizzatola’s BBQ on Shepherd while you are here.
