Read this post if you are taking PrEP

Posted on May 9, 2016 | 2 comments

Gilead, HRCI know a lot of gay men who are on Truvada (PrEP) and while the decision to take this daily medication is a personal choice, for those who are on this prescription drug I wanted to bring your attention to the Gilead Co-Pay Coupon Card, which could save you quite a bit of money.

Truvada, PrEPGilead Co-Pay Coupon Card

Gilead asks just a few questions to determine your eligibility like are you a current resident of the US or Puerto Rico and provides some interesting benefits like covering up to $3,600 in co-pays per year with no monthly limit for TRUVADA® (emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate).

Posted on May 9, 2016 | 1 comment

Restaurant, Boston, GreekKava Neo Taverna is opening their doors for their South End neighbors to stop by and enjoy the neighborhood’s newest restaurant from 6-9PM tonight.

When I stopped by to talk to the team busy at work, it sounded like they were hoping to be open for dinner daily as early as tomorrow, but I still don’t see the restaurant listed for reservations on Open Table so be sure to check back.

Kava Neo Taverna is located across from the South End Buttery on the corner of Union Park and Shawmut in the South End.

Travel to Iceland has never been easier

Posted on May 9, 2016 | Leave a comment

gay travel, travel, europeReykjavik, Iceland may not be on your bucket list but with two Icelandic airlines offering non-stop daily service from Boston the five hour flight, which can cost less than a Boston – San Francisco fare, may be a fun summer destination to consider. Both discount airlines offer travelers the opportunity to book flights with a stopover for several nights in Reykjavik to experience Iceland before continuing on to more than 30 destinations in Europe if you would rather couple your visit with a longer vacation to another European city.

When I first floated the idea of visiting Reykjavik to Sergio several years back he looked at me like I had three heads and said something to the effect of, “Why would I want to go to a country made of ice?“, but nothing could be further from the truth if you visit in the summer when the days are at their longest.  One of the things that I definitely would like to do when we visit (someday) is check out their famous Blue Lagoon geothermal spa which remains warm year round.

Exchange rates for American travelers to Iceland remain favorable with one US dollar roughly equal to 125 Icelandic Króna, which is slightly down from the end of 2015 but still incredibly advantageous for American travelers.

Have you visited Iceland before? Are you thinking of traveling to Reykjavik this summer? The city’s gay pride celebration is August 2- 7, 2016. You can find out more information about Reykjavik Gay Pride on their FB page, here.

Two airlines provide daily non-stop service from Boston to Reykjavik:

Boston’s newer parks: Now and then

Posted on May 8, 2016 | Leave a comment
Boston before the Big Dig

Boston before the Big Dig

Curbed Boston had an interesting post this week, Boston’s Newer Parks: Now and Then.  The image above shows Boston’s elevated expressway; the predecessor to our now submerged expressway (a.k.a. The Big Dig) that modernized the North / South route and reconnected downtown neighborhoods that had been separated by the imposing, noisy and dirty expressway.

Big Dig, Rose Kennedy Greenway

The Rose Kennedy Greenway replaced traffic and pollution with parks

The Big Dig may still be the butt of many jokes regarding cost overruns and delays, but everyone I know agrees the city is much better and more beautiful because of the Big Dig. What was once a hulking mass of steel with too many exits and terrible traffic has given way to beautiful parks and space for the public to enjoy. I give the city a lot of credit for reserving this space for the public.

The Curbed Boston article has more images like this that you can view here.

Happy Mother’s Day

Posted on May 8, 2016 | 1 comment

Mom and DadI wanted to take a moment to say Happy Mother’s Day to my Mom, my sister Elizabeth, my sister Susan who is pregnant with her first child, my sister-in-law Ashley and to all the other wonderful women I know who have taken on the toughest job I can think of, motherhood.

It doesn’t seem right that you only get one day out of the year to be recognized for all you do for your children.

Godfrey Hotel will be home to new restaurant RUKA

Posted on May 7, 2016 | Leave a comment
Godfrey Hotel Boston

Boston’s Godfrey Hotel says their new restaurant RUKA will open this fall.

Yesterday several local food blogs wrote about what had been one of the worst kept secrets in Boston’s restaurant industry.  The restaurant group behind Yvonne’s in Downtown Crossing will open a new restaurant called RUKA this fall at the Godfrey Hotel in Downtown Crossing.

The RUKA press release mentions that Chef Preston Miller will be the Executive Chef, and the menu will combine elements of traditional Peruvian cooking with strong influences of Japanese ‘nikkei’ cuisine. This type of cooking dates back to the late 19th century when approximately 7,000 Japanese workers came to Peru on special two year work contracts. Many remained after their two year contract was up and their fusion of Japanese and Peruvian cooking came to be known as ‘nikkei’ cuisine, which in recent years has become trendy in Europe.

For more information about nikkei cuisine link here.

Mirrors will run May 6–28, 2016, at the Boston Opera House.
