Hi! I’m back for the FINAL week of CRR! I was joined today by a good friend who’s starting grad school next week (he’s a real economist). This was one of the most enjoyable meals I’ve ever had. We had some great discussion about econ, life, goals and some laughs over the proper way to … Continue reading CRR Week 9: The Mad Monkfish

The post is 3 days late, but better late than never right 😉 Today's post is courtesy of two friends from the Academic Econ server. We had a great time at Lamplighter and decided it was time to … Continue reading CRR Week 8: Chalawan Asian Eatery
Hi! We are... HALFWAY through the Cambridge restaurant rush! Time really does fly. This post is a bit different. A couple of friends invited me to a local brewery two weeks ago. I don't drink, but the place seemed cool. Turns out, it's a great place and I HAD to write about it.... unfortunately.... I … Continue reading CRR Week 7: Lamplighter Brewing Co.
The Cambridge Restaurant Rush continues. I spent last weekend with some new friends and wasn't able to get good info (future post coming... 😉 ). I'd been eying Little Donkey since week 1. It did not disappoint in the least. Little Donkey Little Donkey is a global tapas restaurant in the heart of Central Square. … Continue reading CRR Week 6: Little Donkey
Happy July 4th weekend! I hope everyone is spending the weekend to relax. For those who are traveling.... good luck..... Here, the Cambridge restaurant rush continues.

Welcome to week 3! I've been going a bit of a distance to the restaurants. Turns out, one of the restaurants on my radar is literally 2 minutes from the dorm?! I don't know how I missed this, especially since meat is my kryptonite. Did I forget to mention the 5 "Best of Boston" awards? … Continue reading CRR Week 3: The Smoke Shop BBQ

I LOVE seafood and haven't had lobster (or good seafood) in over a year, so I was more than excited. Alive and Kicking Lobsters Alive and Kicking Lobsters is a small market/restaurant tucked in a … Continue reading CRR Week 2: Alive and Kicking Lobsters
Alden and Harlow Alden and Harlow is a Cambridge classic. From what I've heard, Alden and Harlow isn't just a restaurant, it's a destination. No wonder! It's located at 40 Brattle Square, tucked under the historic Brattle Theatre. I couldn't wait to give it a try. They offer dinner every night and brunch on weekends. … Continue reading CRR Week 1: Alden and Harlow
Hi! Im back. miss me yet? If not, too bad. I’ll admit, not much happened since the last post. bUT, I’m in Cambridge (MA) now! But, instead of boring everyone with research details, let's get to the food. Cambridge may be dwarfed by NYC, Chicago, LA or San Francisco, but with exclusive neighbourhoods and two … Continue reading Cambridge Restaurant Rush
Hi! Guess what? I'm 21 now!! 21st birthdays are notoriously unproductive; however, I don't plan on (ever) drinking and have a backlog of work, so I actually did quite a bit (including writing this post!). Don't worry though, I did have fun. My friend came to visit me last week and we went to Maritana … Continue reading I’m 21. My Proudest Moments
