BosGuy blog reader, Mark, forward me this photograph last week after visiting the Publix grocery store in Wilton Manors, Florida. Mark gave me a good laugh, sending me this photo with the message “Oddly the second I saw it I thought of you and your blog.”
Thank you Mark.
Farm & Fable, a vintage cookbook kitchen shop that has space to host cooking demonstrations and classes, will open a new retail space on the corner of Shawmut Avenue and Milford Street across from Coppa Boston in the South End.
I’m relieved to see this space will be home to a new retail shop. With Formaggio and the Syrian Market just across the street and a number of cafes, restaurants and other retailers on this block I hope there will be sufficient foot traffic for this specialty shop.
Future home of Farm & Fable
While construction continues at 251 Shawmut Avenue, you may follow Farm & Fable on Twitter at @FarmAndFable or check out their Facebook page.

My friend, Sean Donovan better known by his Twitter handle, @BostonMo, in partnership with Miniluxe hosted a “MANicurious Party” last week and yours truly was invited.
Joining me was an eclectic mix men about town including, Jonathan Soroff, @Jonathan_Soroff, writer at The Improper Bostonian; Alex Weaver, @AlexEWeaver, writer at BostInno.com, Jeff Lahens, pro stylist and founder of @DressCodeBoston; Matthew Simko, @SoTacky33, writer and curator of @Chubstr, and me.
It was a fun evening watching some of the guys who obviously had never had a manicure or pedicure sit beside veterans like Jonathan Soroff who had opted to paint his toes a color I think he referred to as “St. Bart’s blue”.
I’m not going to try and convince those who are uncomfortable at the thought of splurging on a bit of pampering, but I have a sneaking suspicion there are frightfully few who read my blog who would have such an aversion. If you’ve not visited MiniLuxe I would suggest giving them a try. The staff at the Newbury Street location could not have been more friendly. If Newbury Street isn’t convenient – note that MiniLuxe has locations in: Brookline, Chestnut Hill, Hingham, Lexington, Newton and Wellesley.
MiniLuxe has generously offered a 20% discount off men’s services and waxing if you use the code: BOSGUY13
Here is a little something for all you True Blood fans out there. What did you think of this season’s premiere? Are you still watching? Are you done with the series? Are you wondering “What the heck is BosGuy talking about?”
This weekend I am up at Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire to spend time with my family and to celebrate Father’s Day. This is a photo of my Dad on his boat last summer up at the lake. I wanted to dedicate this post to my father and all the other Dad’s out there. I wouldn’t want to imagine my life without him. He’s the single most amazing man I’ve ever met and I love him dearly.
I figure he’s either a ballet dancer or an athlete. Who else wears white tights? Either way, I can’t imagine why one would ever get out of bed if he was in it.
Thanks to FB buddy, Ryan Andaluz, for sharing this photo of the statue of George Washington wearing a Bruins jersey in the Boston Public Garden.
Earlier this week Facebook and Twitter were awash with beautiful photographs of a brilliant rainbow that spanned much of Boston. Enjoy these pictures.
This is a photograph looking out over Huntington Avenue from The Museum of Fine Arts Boston. I love how picture includes Dallin’s statue “Appeal to the Great Spirit’. It looks like he’s giving thanks to the rainbow.
Here is another favorite. I love this view from Cambridge of the Back Bay neighborhood with the muted colors in the Charles River.
Like what you see? The Boston Globe did a great job collecting photos that were posted on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, here.
Have you seen this video “Love at first sight”? If you need a good laugh, definitely check this out. According to the person who posted this video, this person called him, but he had not gone out that night.
PS – If you feel the need to make a similar call later tonight, heed my advice – Don’t. 😉
