Upon exiting Lolita Cocina, we piled into a Lyft to our fifth stop, Downtown Crossing’s jm Curley. When we exited the car, Tom pointed out the wacky-yet-eerie display in the wig store we were passing (Downtown Crossing is a bizarre mix of trendy bars, high end restaurants and kooky super niche-y stores that seem toContinue reading “jm Curley: Boston Fort Point & DTX Tour (5 of 5) [The Regulars]”

Gold Bar: Boston Fort Point & DTX Tour (2 of 5) [The Regulars]
“The Regulars” is a series of posts on bars that Lorri & I have been to often enough to trust with our lives … errrr … make that OUR LIVERS. Our second destination was only a few stairs up from our first stop at Drink. The Gold Bar is the tiny 6 seat bar atContinue reading “Gold Bar: Boston Fort Point & DTX Tour (2 of 5) [The Regulars]”
DRINK: Boston Fort Point & DTX Tour (1 of 5) [The Regulars]
After our outrageously fun tour of Lowell with Danna & Tom (industry pros from ICOB Burlington), Lorri & I felt like we had to pull out the big guns for a tour on our turf: The Fort Point and DTX (Downtown Crossing) areas of Boston. “Tours” are posts about a night (or nights) of many bars, manyContinue reading “DRINK: Boston Fort Point & DTX Tour (1 of 5) [The Regulars]”
The Vodka Strikes Back (with Jackson Cannon!!!) at Island Creek Oyster Bar Burlington [The Regulars]
THE REGULARS features bars that we’ve been to often enough to recommend without hesitation … well, if you have any damn taste. Sometimes the best experiences start off sounding like the beginning of a horror movie. “There’s a Ketel One event happening Tuesday at 5”, Danna from Burlington’s ICOB texted Lorri and me. She mightContinue reading “The Vodka Strikes Back (with Jackson Cannon!!!) at Island Creek Oyster Bar Burlington [The Regulars]”
The Hawthorne : Still the Finest Bar in Boston Proper? [The Regulars]
Being the greatest wife ever, Lorri circled the last of the Hawthorne’s Swizzle Sundays as a MUST-GO for us, even though crushed/pebble ice drinks and tiki drinks are solidly in MY half of our drinking Venn diagram and solidly NOT in any of the overlapping area between us. It didn’t hurt that Sean Frederick (familiarContinue reading “The Hawthorne : Still the Finest Bar in Boston Proper? [The Regulars]”
Yvonne’s [The Regulars]
THE REGULARS is a series of posts covering the bars we frequent most often, featuring background information, tips and drink recommendations. To us, Yvonne’s is that uber-successful, fashionable and a maybe-too-glamorous longtime friend who instantly drops all the corporate d-bags and society wanna-be’s when you come through the door and makes one-on-one time to catchContinue reading “Yvonne’s [The Regulars]”
LX (Legal Crossing) : Escape From Aladdin [The Regulars]
Being total Musical Nerds, Lorri and I have a subscription to Broadway in Boston, a form of ticketing blackmail a.k.a. “Buy tickets to 4 musicals you don’t really care about so you can see the ONE musical you’ll never get tickets to, otherwise known as HAMILTON”. That’s how we ended up seeing “Get On YourContinue reading “LX (Legal Crossing) : Escape From Aladdin [The Regulars]”
The Baldwin Bar [The Regulars]
Our favorite Boston area bar for the total food/drink combination is the remarkable Baldwin Bar in thoroughly unremarkable Woburn MA. It’s housed in the Baldwin Mansion (from freaking 1661, making it older than our COUNTRY) and is part of the Sichuan Garden Chinese restaurant. The Baldwin is consistently ranked among the best bars in theContinue reading “The Baldwin Bar [The Regulars]”
Island Creek Oyster Bar (Burlington, MA) [The Regulars]
I Island Creek Oyster Bar in Burlington is our standard weekly lunch – SO standard that it’s practically “Cheers” to me & Lorri. Sometimes you really DO want to go where everybody knows your name … and your story, and especially your drinks (and vice versa). ICOB (with Burlington and Fenway locations) is one ofContinue reading “Island Creek Oyster Bar (Burlington, MA) [The Regulars]”
