CRR Week 7: Lamplighter Brewing Co.

CRR Week 7: Lamplighter Brewing Co.

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.

CRR Week 3: The Smoke Shop BBQ

CRR Week 3: The Smoke Shop BBQ

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 →

They offer dinner every night and brunch on weekends. … Continue reading CRR Week 1: Alden and Harlow →

I’m 21. My Proudest Moments

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 →
