I’m missing Sergio who is in Brazil with his Mom right now.
Each Friday I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and to exercise your brain. Get help or share it with a friend or colleague to see if you can figure it out together.Comments or questions? Contact BosGuy

SpeakEasy Stage presents Bootycandy
Perhaps the title of Terry Byrne’s Boston Globe article sums up the SpeakEasy Stage latest production best, ‘Bootycandy’ a comedic scrapbook of growing up black and gay.
If you had not heard, the New England premiere of Bootycandy opened this weekend and runs through Saturday, April 9th. The play is described as a shockingly funny and saucy spin on race, sex, and sexuality, and it was inspired by the author’s own experiences growing up black and gay. I look forward to seeing this play later this week and hope that many of you will come out to support this local production, which speaks directly to the LGBT community. The best way to encourage more LGBT themed theater productions is to come and see them when they are produced.
Bootycandy Information and Tickets Here
If you don’t want to go alone The Welcoming Committee is planning to attend en masse on Wednesday, March 30th. More information about TWC event is available here.
Provincetown Carnival 2016

Provincetown’s Carnival celebration starts five months from today
Provincetown’s week long Carnival celebration is always a blast and every year Sergio and I try to make it a point to attend. For those unfamiliar with the popular theme week, there are multiple fun activities planned every day, but the most fun is the parade which takes place on Thursday, August 18th. Last year’s theme was Candy Land and I’ve included a video showing some of the fun to whet your appetite and encourage you to plan a visit to Ptown for Carnival 2016.
Are you contemplating a visit or do you need some help planning a trip to Provincetown? Reach out and I’d be happy to help you plan your trip to Ptown.
Scruffy Sunday
Time to get up and grab Joe a cup of joe.
Coming this summer: Brown is the New Pink
Two of my favorite entertainers in Provincetown are collaborating once again and will have a new show in time for the summer entitled, Brown is the New Pink, at the Art House. I’ll definitely have more to share with you in the weeks that follow but if you’re planning a visit to Ptown this summer I’d suggest you put this on your “must see” list.
Breakfast at The Friendly Toast, Back Bay
In mid January The Friendly Toast opened their third location in the Back Bay. The Friendly Toast opened a second location in Kendall Square a few years back not long after the original owners sold both locations to Eric Goodwin and Scott Pulver in October 2013. At the time, the new owners said they planned to open new restaurants in other locations under the Friendly Toast name. The Friendly Toast Back Bay is the first of these other locations to open.
Located on Stanhope Street, the restaurant opens early on the weekends at 8AM and weekdays at 7AM. The kitschy decor associated with The Friendly Toast is in full effect here with formica tables packed close together and barely a square foot of empty wall space.
Friendly Toast Back Bay Huevos Rancheros $11.50
The menu includes a lot of decadent treats from the “Sweet Stuff” section of their menu like, Coconut Cakes made with shredded coconut and chocolate chips drizzled with coconut sauce and topped with crushed pecans; and the Caribbean Waffles that is topped with caramelized bananas and crushed pecans. Healthier options are available in their “Fit and Friendly” section of the menu but this isn’t really the place to come for healthy eating.
Sergio and I focused on some more traditional options for breakfast. My order of Huevos Rancheros (shown above) came with two poached eggs buried under a small mountain of melted cheddar, avocado and fresh salsa and resting on thick anadama bread.
Friendly Toast Back Bay Breakfast Sandwich $10.00
Sergio surprised me by forgoing his usual French Toast and getting a breakfast sandwich, which unfortunately didn’t photograph very well. Both breakfasts were best described as mezza mezza. Based on my experience, I would suggest The Friendly Toast is probably best for those with families looking for large portions and good price points. For me, the one time visit is sufficient to check it off the list, but I do wish the location much luck and future success.
Note that the early opening time and affordable price points makes this a favorite destination for families.
