After work cheap eats in the South End

Posted on November 13, 2014 | 1 comment

South EndLast week Nikki Chase from the Boston Herald wrote an article about her favorite after-work cheap eats and it got me to thinking about some of my favorite places in the South End to grab something to eat after work; please share your favorites.

Darryl’s at 604 Columbus Avenue; All their starters are 1/2 price from 5 – 6:30 pm at the bar only.

Estragon at 700 Harrison Avenue;  offers something they call “Tapas Blitz where they offer items like fried pork belly with salsa pi­cante.  Their blitz menu items are available Monday-Thursday, 5-7 p.m. and range from $1-$5.

Masa Restaurant at 439 Tremont Street makes their tapas so affordable you can’t help but indulge with 50¢ tapas in the bar only. You can order items like grilled chorizo, pork spring roll and shredded chicken taquitos.  These super cheap eats are good Sunday – Thursday from 5-7p.m.

647 Tremont (and Sister Sorel too!) at 647 Tremont Street hosts their $2 taco Tuesdays where you can order a variety of house made tacos for $2 each.  My favorites include the fried fish and pork almond mole; Tuesdays only.

Stella at 1525 Washington Street; offers cheap eats menu with options that inclued arugula salad, parmesan arancini and (one of my favorites) grilled Italian sausage.  Every plate is only $5 until 6p.m. on weeknights only.

EW’s Mean Girls’ reunion interview

The 2004 flick, Mean Girls,  written by Tina Fey remains one of my favorite teen films of all times.  For the movie’s 10th anniversary, EW invited the film’s female leads to come together and dish about their memories, behind-the-scenes magic, and what they think their characters would be doing now.

These are some of my favorite Mean Girls quotes:

“On Wednesdays we wear pink.” (I’ve actually written posts about this one).

“Gretchen, stop trying to make fetch happen! It’s not going to happen!”

“I’m sorry I called you a gap-toothed bitch. It’s not your fault you’re so gap-toothed.”

You can read this delicious interview on EW’s site, here.

Boston’s first marijuana dispensary named

Posted on November 12, 2014 | Leave a comment
420, pot, marijaneTwo years after Massachusetts residents overwhelmingly voted in favor to legalize medicinal marijuana for sale State health officials have finally approved Boston’s first medical marijuana dispensary.
Patriot Care Corp will operate the city’s first (and to date only) medical marijuana dispensary near Downtown Crossing at 21 Milk Street.  In addition to the Boston location, the state has conditionally approved 15 applicants across the state.  However, these dispensaries still must pass inspection and win local zoning approval before they can begin growing and selling marijuana so barriers remain but this remains a significant milestone nonetheless.

Posted on November 11, 2014 | Leave a comment

gay theater, new york city, nycOne month from today Richard Winchester, producer and co-founder of Artfull Circle Theatre in San Francisco will return to New York City with an hilarious holiday musical comedy hit, Christmas With the Crawfords.

The show, which opens on December 11th, stars Joey Arias as Joan Crawford and  Chris March as her darling daughter Christina. Connie Champagne returns as Judy Garland — a role in which she has garnered international acclaim. Sherry Vine (Keith Levy) will take on the dual role of Hedda Hopper and Baby Jane Hudson in her first appearance in the show.

The production is based on the actual Christmas Eve live radio broadcast of the Crawford family from their Brentwood mansion in the late 1940s, “Christmas With the Crawfords” is a loving homage to and parody of Hollywood’s Golden Age and is filled with appearances of major Tinsel Town icons, such as Judy Garland, Carmen Miranda, Gloria Swanson and the Andrews Sisters.

Dinner at ester in Dorchester

Posted on November 11, 2014 | 1 comment

Writing this blog has perks and last week was a great example. I was invited to the Lower Mills neighborhood in Dorchester to meet one of the owners of ester, Eleanor Arpino, and check out this relatively new restaurant.

Antonia's Meatballs $6.50 and Meat Board $11

Antonia’s Meatballs $6.50                                  Meat Board $11

ester is a neighborhood restaurant trying to make a name for itself and be a part of the community it so proudly named itself after.  Their menu showcases the produce they collect each week from their 5,000 sq foot rooftop garden to let you know what ingredients are homegrown (literally).

Sirloin 1/2 Pound Burger w/ Bacon Jam $15.50

Sirloin 1/2 Pound Burger w/ Bacon Jam $15.50

Their menu is reasonably priced, including snacks and appetizers ranging in from $5-$11; soups and salads $7-$8 and main plates $14-$21.  The cocktail menu, wine list and beers are equally affordable; the beer list in particular is impressive with 32 options on draft and bottle.

Risotto with their rooftop cherry tomatoes $12

I would like to thank Eleanor Arpino and chef Estabon Gallego for their gracious invitation and wish them much success.  Despite the fact that their massive back deck will close for the winter season, I’d encourage neighbors to check out the 17-seat bar or come down and try dinner in their spacious dining room.

Boneless Berkshire Roasted Pork Loin $21

ester is located at 2261 Dorchester Avenue in Dorchester Center.
