Win $500 to Towne Stove & Spirits in Boston

Visit Bloomspot to win a $500 food & bar tab to Towne, a new restaurant to the Boston scene.  While I was not super impressed during my one and only visit I really want to give this place another try and check out that great looking dining room.  I am also attempting to have a private event there, so I will be sure to let you know how that works out.  

Enter before October 14th, good luck!

Looking for something to do in Boston this weekend?

Figuring out your weekend plans?  Well, if you love wine - this is your weekend!  The Boston Wine festival is taking place. The opening celebration is tonight at the Boston Harbor Hotel, you can taste wines from your choice of 50 wineries. Tickets are $100/person. 

OR...how about trying out some of the fun new bars/restaurants? 

Coppa, a venture by our beloved Ken Oringer (I frequent Toro often!) and Jamie Bissonnette, in the old Dish location on Shawmut Avenue.  They serve dinner until 12:45, I like that!

Woodward at the Ames Hotel. Enjoy some fun, colorfully names cocktails and some great late night snacks like fancy grilled cheese, burgers and lobster salad sandwiches.

I think we have all frequented and enjoyed the Parish Cafe on Boylston Street and I have some good news, they have a new location!  Try out the newest Parish on Tremont & Mass Ave.  Rumor has it there was a line around the block for New Year's day brunch. 
And last but by no means least, how about some live jazz at the Stork Club?  
Have a great weekend!

Where are the deals?

Although I am hopeful the economy is starting to turn around, I think we have all been watching our wallet just a little bit more closely this past year. Saving money is NOT a bad thing and it's something I hope to do more of in 2010! So to help is in this endeavor, I introduce to you - Hub Eats - our friend (well, website) who tells us about restaurant/bar specials for each day of the week - i.e. Union Park offers free bar bites during the week (I love it there and plan to take advantage over a glass of wine). So the next time you want to get a group together, check out this site for some specials. There are more sites where you can find a good bargain, and I will share them in time...
