“On Wednesdays we…. wait a minute that’s not right”
Welcome to the South End’s newest coffee shop, Mod Espresso, by stopping by and sampling some of their delicious La Colombe coffee. It is a personal favorite.
The chic cafe sits inside the Modern Relik home design showroom located at 485 Harrison Avenue. The European-style coffee bar, was developed by Michela Larson who locals may remember opened the very popular (and still missed) Italian restaurant, Rocca, in the South End.
In addition to serving excellent coffee, Mod Espresso has a limited menu that includes sweets like cookies, cakes and pastry as well as some savory bites you can grab for lunch or snacks. The cafe will be expanding their hours in the weeks that follow but is currently open 7-days a week. Check out some photos of this chic new coffee shop on Harrison Avenue, courtesy of the Mod Espresso Cafe.
Benvenuti nel quartiere!
It has been a while since I’ve featured the kilted coaches in my weekly post so I’m glad to say that is no longer the case. I love these two Scotsmen and their kilts.
Sergio and I flew down to South America this past weekend. We are about to begin quite an adventure traveling to Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil over the next few weeks. While traveling, my weekly posts about “What’s Happening” and “What to do this weekend” will be temporarily suspended until the New Year.
While traveling I plan to regularly post on Instagram so if you don’t already follow me, please do. Through my posts on Instagram you can join us as we visit Mendoza, Cordoba and Buenos Aires in Argentina, Colonia del Sacramento and Puente del Este in Uruguay and finally Belo Horizonte and Sao Paulo Brazil.

This week I’m sharing a photograph of Stephen (one half of Instagrm’s @renovationhusbands). Who knows what Stephen is contemplating over his morning cup of coffee. Perhaps he’s watching his husband, David, outside tending to his beehive? Check out more about Stephen and his husband via IG.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating the holiday. While many may be in a self-induced food coma, you can (and should) get out and work off some of those calories.

It is Thanksgiving in the US, and I am spending the day with Sergio, my parents and a good friend in Portsmouth, NH. I want to wish everyone celebrating this holiday a relaxing and fun day. The photo above dates back to Thanksgiving 2015 when we were visiting Rio de Janeiro with friends.
Unsure who this family is but based on the hair and what I can see I would guess this was taken in the early 1980s. Anyone know anything about this photo?
I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.
Thanksgiving is tomorrow so it seems only fitting that I would feature a master chef who can tempt you with both his handsome photos like the one I’ve pulled from chef Pablo’s IG account as well as some of his delicious creations.
Chef Pablo Ranea is from Argentina and I hope to be able to connect with him next month when Sergio and I head to Mendoza, Argentina. Lately, Ranea has made a name for himself with his pop-up restaurants in Argentina and here in the United States. Check out the photo below from his dinner in California this past September. Feel free to follow his account which is full of eye-popping meals and his travels. You can learn more about Pablo Ranea, here.
