“Yeah, I probably do that too.”

“Yeah, I probably do that too.” That’s what it says on my business cards. And it’s pretty accurate. I have worked as a payroll coordinator for a multi-national advertising firm, an edutainer (buzzword for ‘one who sneaks in educational information while entertaining children ages 3-13′), a resident designer for a New York City based production [...]

Ode To Southie

Located south and east of Four Point Channel, “Southie,” as the locals will refer to it, holds a special place in my heart. To any outsider, South Boston, Massachusetts, is famous for being known as the working-class Irish American neighborhood of working-class Irish American neighborhoods in the United States. This is predominately due to Hollywood’s [...]

Drink Of The Week: Who Doesn’t Love A Good Screw?

The Screwdriver. A classic, and one with dozens of variations (Drinksmixer.com alone offers 97 recipes). I like screwdrivers precisely for these reasons: easy to make and easy to season to taste. Plus, if you order variations, you get to say things like, “I want a slow hard screw up against a wall!” Now the classic [...]

How To Make Easter Not Suck

My memories of Easter are always fun and eccentric. When in the same day will you gorge on deviled eggs AND Cadbury eggs? My grandmother had an Easter Tree that I envied and I promised myself I would own one when I got older. I’m 27, and I’ve yet to convince myself that buying a [...]

The site still has changes coming in the future, like a way to get to know us better individually, but for now, I figured I’d re-introduce you to everybody. First off, [...]

Drink Of The Week: Singapore Sling

Unless you hang out at the VFW or possibly the Elks Lodge, you’ve probably never heard of this cocktail. It’s nearly 100 years old, and so are most of the people who imbibe it. But this drink is delicious and has a rare attribute: A fruity sweet drink that men and women can BOTH enjoy! It’s got a manly [...]

The Prowl

The Queen and I were having brunch at North Street Grille last week and as per usual our main topic of conversation was men; men that we are currently speaking with, can’t get over, and the ones we dream about but haven’t met yet. I’ve noticed that dating – or hooking up – has been [...]

Pickleback

When I originally decided to start having a “Drink Of The Week” column on this site, my intention was to avoid shots altogether. This is the shot that made me change my mind. Although it tastes (in my opinion) amazing, I suppose this one’s for the adventurous ones out there. The other day, I finished [...]

I Feel Pretty, Oh So Pretty…

Spring is upon us and I see that winter has demolished whatever the summer did to my body. Sun kissed skin, toned body, smooth skin, shiny hair, that vitamin D glow is no more and I now look like a hibernating squirrel who gorged on mac and cheese and the only glow is have is [...]

Hot Yoga = Not Yoga

(Hot yoga is definitely considered yoga. For me, it’s torture.) Normally, I’d like to rave about the latest fitness craze or gush about this amazing new vegetable that is only available for 2 weeks a year and is indigenous to Latvian wetlands. But this week, I’m going to share with you healthy things I don’t [...]

Visions of barbecues, hanging out with friends, and lazy days at the beach dance through our heads. This week’s Drink of The Week is inspired by days gone by and visions of spring and [...]

Betting on the Bruins

Growing up in the Garden State provided me with ample experience with the act of gambling; unlike Massachusetts, gambling is legal there and I was a frequent traveler of the Atlantic City Expressway. Gambling is one of my smaller vices. I mostly enjoy it because I find it very stimulating. The act of standing next [...]

Drink of The Week: Purple Rain

  So, let’s forget the fact that I used to intern for some Prince musicians. Let’s also forget the fact that some of those musicians were actually in and part of “Purple Rain” like Jellybean and St. Paul Peterson. Let’s just look at the fact that we’re supposed to have a rainy weekend. And on a rainy [...]

How Lansdowne Street Brought My Sexy Back

Since moving to Boston I’ve learned that a typical afternoon on Lansdowne usually consists of a pregame outside of Fenway Park at an establishment such as Copperfield’s, Bleacher Bar, or Boston Beer Works. (And you know I’m only doing that if my buddies Derek, Alex, and Jorge are in town.) A local Bostonian might tell [...]

Drink Of The Week: Hennessy, ‘Cuz You’re Doing It Wrong.

Here’s a ball-buster for ya’. You’ve been drinking cognac wrong. That’s right, you there, in that corner with the ice in your glass. You’re doing it wrong! And you! In the sweater vest! Yeah you, with the lowball glass drinking your Hennessy “neat!” Yeah, it’s not so neat if you’re doin’ it wrong, is it? [...]
