Thursdays with TT: Iron Sushi

CT really wanted to see Inception. She got denied before when her friends from Boston were in town, so we decided to go on a Wednesday night because who goes to the movies then? We got to the theater about 30 mins early, so getting seats was a non-issue since there were only 3 other people there. It filled up a bit, but still quiet as expected for a weekday night. It was a good movie that was super intense. Anytime you deal with anything involving dreams, it can get pretty confusing and a little [...]

RUB BBQ

I’m a strange bird.  A place can be on my list for quite a while, for whatever reason, and for no solid, real reason will it jump to the very top.  And so I found myself at RUB BBQ one slightly rainy night… Weirdly enough, I used to take dance classes across the street once a week for about 6 months, but I never managed to cross the street and try it, though this night, I got up off my couch and dragged my lazy butt into the city to have dinner with a friend.   I’m a sucker for wings, and appetizers, and fried foods, [...]

Tuesdays with TT: Jubilee

It has been a couple weeks since Aunt B welcome a new member into the family, so it was time my parents came into the city to meet her.
Say Hello to Scout.

What would a trip into the city for the parents without a meal? I decided we would go to one of Aunt B’s favorite restaurants, Jubilee. The reason why it is her favorite is that their speciality is mussels. She has been coming here for years and it is always consistently good. I took her a couple months back as a Christmas present and had [...]

Side Door @ Beacon 3: Cobb Salad

I’ve become a quick fan, almost a regular, at The Side Door @ Beacon since they opened a few weeks ago as a relatively inexpensive lunch alternative to the “real” Beacon. Side Door started with an exemplary burger and the Mr. Pink’s Double Dog, and recently expanded to prepared salads.

As usual, no real line at the Door, and though the skies threatened, it didn’t rain.

To show that I take my job here at Feisty Foodie seriously, instead of choosing a meat-centric lunch as I’d normally do, I picked up the new Cobb Salad to see how well Beacon pulled it [...]

Maialino: Breakfast Prix Fixe

I’ve been dying to try Maialino since TT wrote about the maialino, but haven’t been able to find a time that works for everyone.  Fortunately, I read about this deal on Tasting Table, and who doesn’t have time for a nice lingering breakfast?  Well, I don’t have class on Fridays, so why wouldn’t I?  I snagged a friend who apparently doesn’t care about getting to work on time (and who also generously allows me to take a bite of whatever’s ordered, or outright lets me trade if I don’t like what I’ve ordered), and away we went.  The Tasting [...]
