Ah, Monday. Though I prefer a lazy pot of coffee at home on a Sunday, there is always something special about the first cup of coffee at the office on Monday: it heralds the start of a new day, a new week, and no matter the weather or the commute or the mayhem that might […]

For a bit of a Thursday throwback, we’re revisiting our 36-hour getaway to Portland, Maine last fall. When the house-buying drama was at its peak, and it was clear that everything was out of our hands, Jack and I decided to spend some time away from the room we were renting in the interim. A […]
Last night, I had the pleasure of finally checking out relative newbie Gather with Elizabeth. The view of the ICA was lovely, the staff was delightful (thanks, Chris!), the chicken and waffles was excellent, and the lights…those lights!
Chances are, if you’ve ever been to our house, Jack has made you a drink. He’s my resident mixologist, my go-to margarita-maker, my provider of holiday punch, and he can whip up a liquor-less libation that doesn’t seem lacking, too. We love a good cocktail, and Jack loves making them. For Christmas this year, Jack […]
It all started with a tweet. hey @KZiegs – can you do this > http://t.co/WSAbuMGstT for me? you and @UJCreative have the best drinks in the best places xoxo, me — elizabeth swartz (@elizabethswartz) January 7, 2014 First off, we’re flattered; second, we realized we’ve been on a new-places hiatus since closing, and that seems […]
When I got word at the last minute that I could take this whole holiday week off, visions of fabled “free time” danced through my head. Not so much. (Turns out, we have plenty of work outside of work to catch up on.) If you’re looking toward the weekend anxiously, and perhaps considering your festive […]
Kate and I spent last weekend in Connecticut, but before we left I made the annual trip to ACBF with friends. The American Craft Beer Festival is unapproachable in scope unless you develop a plan to winnow down its copious tasting options. To this end, every year that we go I choose a style of […]
Yesterday was cold, rainy and basically blustery; today, highs are hoving near 80 and the sun is shining. We are so ready for some summer weather. I’ve been catching popsicles popping up all over the place – art featuring them, stationery modeled after them, recipes for making them – and with today’s abrupt summer feel […]
There’s a new truck in town. Area Four was perhaps the only company not April-fooling when it rolled its new food truck up to Dewey Square this morning. I work across the street, and the truck caught my eye first for its LeWitt stripes, and then for its excellent “A4” logo (below). I didn’t get […]
David Schwen’s #pantonepairings photos have been making the rounds on Pinterest, but only this morning did I finally track them down at the source. What fun I’ve been missing! Schwen, as it turns out, is a very talented Instagram user – and Instagram is where you can find all of this pantone-inspired series, along with […]
