New Greek restaurant Kava Neo Taverna looks ready to open

Posted on February 15, 2016 | 1 comment

South End Restaurant, Greek Restaurant BostonI’ve been regularly talking to the owners of the soon to open Greek restaurant, Kava Neo Taverna, since construction first caught my eye last fall.

Although the owners remain unsure when they will formally open, the paper has come down from the over-sized windows and you can see what appears to be a casual dining restaurant. From the back of the restaurant you can see a painting of an old Greek man looking out over their rustic dining room. Dark wood floors contrast with the chairs, tables and white walls.  Lighting fixtures made of thick rope you might see on the docks of Boston harbor dangle overhead, and a small but comfortable looking bar is tucked in the back of the restaurant.

Kava is currently hiring for all positions so if you’d like to learn more send your resume to info@kavaneotaverna.com.

I miss the summer

Posted on February 15, 2016 | Leave a comment

handsome, sexy, coolI know that the weather this past fall and up through January has been unseasonably warm, but the past few days have reminded all of us in Boston that winter is here. To chase away my winter blues I’m looking at photos of people relaxing on the beach or poolside. I’d love to join this guy and jump into a pool.

Relationships

Posted on February 14, 2016 | Leave a comment

Making the case for Valentine's DayI have a number of friends who are very happy that they are single. I also know a few (not many) people who I suspect might be happier if they were single. This post isn’t for either of you, although I do believe you deserve to be loved too.

This post is for a third group of friends who are single and looking to meet someone they can share their life with through the good and bad. Valentine’s Day can be frustrating for this group, reminding them of their most recent awkward date or maybe lack of dates. I hope you find someone who you fall madly in love with and in the interim you find comfort knowing your friends and family love you and think you’re fabulous – regardless of your dating status.

Patrick Lentz Photography, hairy, handsome, hunkMy friend and local photographer, Patrick Lentz, posted photographs of Nick who lives up on the North Shore, on Friday. The 25 year old from Gloucester loves the camera and agreed to take a series of photographs with Patrick, several of which have a very nice Valentine’s Day theme.

I’ve included a few photos below but you can see more of Nick on Flickr.  Patrick Lentz Photography, handsome, hairy, hunkPatrick Lentz Photography, handsome, hairy, hunkYou can see more of Patrick’s photography here, www.PatrickLentz.com.

Mega development proposed for downtown Boston

Posted on February 13, 2016 | Leave a comment
Downtown Boston mega development

Source: boston.curbed.com

Earlier this week Curbed Boston reported that the city and state are working together to turn a 5.5 acre site owned by the state at 185 Kneeland Street (sandwiched between South Station, Chinatown and the Expressway) into a “mega-development” (those were Curbed Boston’s words – not mine).

The state plans to host public-input sessions on any would-be development beginning in early March and a request for proposals could go out after that. According to the article, state officials are asking developers to think big – really big, suggesting the site accommodate 2,000,000 square feet with a sizable chunk of that dedicated to housing (hopefully affordable housing).

This could be a great opportunity for the city to add housing and build out a section of land that can bring taxable revenue to the state and city. I’ll be curious to see how this monster development opportunity progresses.

Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening by Robert Frost

Posted on February 12, 2016 | Leave a comment

poetry, family, NH, LakeI thought it appropriate to share a poem by Frost, that pays tribute to this season so I’m re-posting, Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening.

The photo is of me and that is my parent’s house at Lake Winnipesaukee in the background. Sergio snapped the photograph when we were returning home after a long walk. You’ll note the streets hadn’t even been plowed and it felt like we were the only ones around.  The photo remains one of my favorites.

STOPPING BY WOODS ON A SNOWY EVENING

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Pretty in Pink 30th anniversary screening this weekend

Posted on February 11, 2016 | 2 comments

Pretty in PinkI loved everything about Pretty in Pink when it came out in 1986 – the actors, the story line and of course the soundtrack.  Since the weather in Boston is going to be miserable this weekend, you might want to catch the anniversary showing.

For those who never saw Pretty in Pink, the movie revolves around a high school girl (played by Molly Ringwald) from the wrong side of town and a wealthy heart-throb (played by Andrew McCarthy) and includes all the teenage angst and drama one could imagine in this classic John Hughes film.

When: Sunday, Feb 14, 2016 2:00p – 4:00p
Where: Showcase Cinema de Lux Revere
Admission: $13.50
Showtimes and Tickets: Here

Also showing at Showcase Cinema de Lux Legacy Place (Dedham), Showcase Cinema de Lux Lowell, and Showcase Cinema de Lux Randolph.

Cheapest places to travel each month of the year

Posted on February 11, 2016 | Leave a comment

Gay TravelAnyone who reads this blog knows that Sergio and I love our home but we love traveling even more so when I read Travel & Leisure article, “The Cheapest Places to Travel Each Month of the Year” I knew I would want to share this.

The article claims that if you plan your vacation right you can save a bundle; world class cities like Melbourne, Australia in January are surprisingly affordable; Buenos Aires is beautiful in March; and Fort Lauderdale offers great deals in May; Boston happens to be a steal in July (who knew); and New Orleans offers great deals in October just in time for their benefit for Project Lazarus.

You can read the full article here.
