Eataly Boston grand opening set for Nov. 29th

Posted on November 2, 2016 | Leave a comment

eataly-bostonLast month (in case you missed it) The Boston Globe, EaterBoston and other news outlets reported that Eataly Boston would host their grand opening just in time for the holiday season on Tuesday, November 29th.

For those unfamiliar with Eataly, Boston is only the third city in the United States to have such a store but the chain has 31 locations worldwide. Eataly Boston will have 45, 000 square feet dedicated to all things Italian. The store will have three levels and be a mixture of full-service restaurants, fast-casual counters, and places to buy products to take home.

The Boston location includes three casual restaurant spaces that offer waiter service: La Pizza & La Pasta, La Piazza, and Il Pesce. While they’re all located within Eataly, they operate independently.

Why I think America is getting better with age

Posted on October 30, 2016 | 1 comment

rural-americaOne of the virtues of Donald Trump’s campaign is that it has brought the spotlight to a group of Americans who have been ignored by politicians.

This group of disenfranchised, who mostly live in rural America feel that the country is not as great as it once was, but the reason I’m writing this post is to point out that equally large parts of the United States have flourished over the past eight years.  For example, my partner, Sergio, went from being unemployed to starting his own business; this last quarter proved to be his busiest ever. I too have seen my salary rise and our future seems more sure footed and stable than it did eight years ago.  More impressively, the United States emerged from a global economic slowdown faster than most of the world. Those points don’t diminish the needs or the worries of those left disaffected, but it is worth noting.

Supreme court ruling on birth controlIn addition to the economic news, something else has happened over the past eight years that transcends economics. We had the first sitting President who said gay and lesbians deserved to be treated equally; essentially expanding the civil rights movement beyond race and gender. At the same time a light was shed on racial inequalities in a way that it had not previously. Do you think that the Black Lives Matter movement would have the same impact if we didn’t have a sitting Black President? I don’t take this to be a coincidence and should Hillary Clinton be elected, one should expect (and hope) that issues surrounding women’s rights will enjoy similar prominence.

Perhaps it is for these reasons that I think America is already pretty great and more importantly getting better with each passing year.

Scruffy Sunday

men in bed, men cuddling in bedI hate the fact that the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this photo was that I imagined this couple discussing they would need to remove the odd looking lantern / light in their bedroom.

Sunday is the last South End / SOWA market of the season

Posted on October 29, 2016 | Leave a comment

South End and SOWA Open Market Map 2It seems like it was just a few weeks ago that I was writing that the South End and SoWa Open Markets were opening for the season, but the reality is it has been six months and tomorrow, Sunday, October 30th marks the last market of the season. Both markets have continued to thrive and had a stellar year.

South End Open Market and the SOWA Market are separated by 3 blocks and are open from 10 AM – 4PM. Come over to the neighborhood and check them out before they close up for the season.
