Propeller Theatre Company, Comedy of Errors

While in Boston, we made our way over to see Propeller Theatre Company’s performance of Comedy of Errors. Propeller is a London-based all-male company that does incredible modern stagings of Shakespeare. This sounds like a recipe for cheesy-ness....

"Wake up the Earth!" in Boston

This highlight is a bit different than the usual. It's not a travel experience at all; it's a "home" experience, because I love my neighborhood and want visitors to get off the beaten path in Boston!

"Wake up the Earth!" is an annual Spring...

Omnivore? Or Herbivore? Declare yourself.

Journeyman Restaurant's spin on serving an upscale, well chosen menu is elegantly simple. Declare whether you are an omnivore or an herbivore. And whether you want 7 courses or 5. Leave the rest to the talented chef, kitchen crew and waitstaff,...

A nameless Lobster at No Name

By the time we were done at Harpoon, we were ready to eat again and met up with some of our Propeller friends at No Name Restaurant on Fish Pier. This place is pretty touristy. But it was still fun. Most of the boys opted to go big and order the...

Harpoon Brewery

By Sunday, it was time for some serious day-drinking at Harpoon Brewery. For like 5 bucks, you go on a short tour with one of the cool guides through their brewing process. The facility is remarkably small. Highlights? The near-continuous jabs the...

Pastry Wars

There are two well-known pastry shops within about a block of each other in Boston's historic North End: Mike's Pastry and Modern Pastry. The two are engaged in a constant battle for supremacy, and any good Bostonian has a strong opinion in favor...

Drinking at Drink

After dinner at No Name, we moved onto Drink. To be clear, we went to drink at a place called Drink. This is a rad little cocktail bar with equally rad bartenders. I’m not sure if this is standard protocol or if they just humored me, but I...

Boston, Anything but Common

A convenient train ride from NYC, one of my favorite weekend trips was going to Boston. I enjoyed strolling through the beautiful streets in Beacon Hill filled with lovely turn of the century red brick buildings. Having delectable meals at one of...
