foodie break: union oyster house
Just when you thought you’ve read all there is to know about our summer getaway to Boston, we saved the best for last. It’s as if the itinerary planning gods knew that on our last night of #LTeastcoast, we needed something so incredibly… East Coast. The Union Oyster House is America’s oldest restaurant. You read that correctly. The restaurant has been a Boston institution since the pre-Revolutionary days. It evolved over time, and began serving up its signature seafood-focused menu in 1826. Union Oyster House has been continually operating ever since. Over time, they’ve even welcomed more famous people than you can…

foodie break: harvest in harvard square
When we tell you we probably (definitely) ate our weight in lobster while visiting Boston, we weren’t kidding. In fact, we did quite a lot of eating and drinking, and we must say: Boston, you sure don’t disappoint. On our Boston Bucket List was the neighborhood of Cambridge, which sits directly across the Charles River from Boston proper. Best known as the home to two of the country’s most distinguished universities — Harvard and MIT — Cambridge has no shortage of top-notch restaurants and bars. With a little help from BostonUsa.com, we settled on lunch at Harvest in Harvard Square. Since the…

foodie break: boston’s BOND // @BONDBoston1
How can it be that our #LTeastcoast tour was over a month ago? Alals, now all we can do is reminisce about our weeklong summer reunion in the good ole U-S-of-A. Naturally, the one thing we can’t stop thinking about: all of the delicious meals we ate along the way. Among our favorites was a night of wining and dining at Boston’s BOND (NOW CLOSED) on our first night out in Beantown. Located in The Langham hotel, formerly the Federal Reserve Bank, BOND was the perfect introduction to historic Boston. Converted from the bank into a luxury hotel property in…

foodie break: eating like a local around the globe
We admit it: we’re travel obsessed. Sometimes, physically traveling isn’t even enough to satisfy our never-ending wanderlust. In between trips, we spend a fair amount of time online reading about other people’s travel experiences. During one such recent reading sesh, we found this article from Laura Bloom at Yahoo Travel about eating like a local in Costa Rica. It really resonated with us! From city to city, one thing that stays constant throughout all of our travels? A desire to experience the local culture through its food and drink. Yes, we normally steer clear of guided tours. But in unfamiliar…

foodie break: in the kitchen with a french master baker
It’s well documented that we are more savory than sweet around these parts. As you might expect, it’s been six solid months of eating beaucoup de baguettes. So recently, when two friends and I had the chance to experience a day of baking with an acclaimed French Master Baker in his kitchen, I had a sudden vision. Me! Covered in flour, befriending all the locals as I handed them the most delicious baguettes in all the land! Yes, well… non. That didn’t happen. Really, listening to Frédéric tell us about life as a Parisian baker cemented what I’ve always known…
