Don't like to Gamble?

That's OK, cause now there are even more reasons to go to Foxwoods. MGM Grand is opening a new 825-room hotel and 4,000 seat theater down there. This new palace of sorts will feature restaurants of celebrity chefs Tom Colicchio's Craftsteak (you know this name cause of Top Chef), Michael Schlow's Alta Strada (of Radius fame), Gretta Monahan's G Spa and a new club, the Shrine. Shrine is a lounge/Asian kitchen. The club will feature DJ AM for opening night of 5/17, and other guests include Broady Jenner & DJ Sky Nellor (5/23), Carmen Electra & DJ Chachi (5/24) and Dave Navarro & DJ Skribble (5/25).

And remember, what happens in Mashantucket, stays in Mashantucket.

Vee Vee Reviewed

Vee Vee, the new restaurant in JP's hustling Centre Street area, is a def hot spot. The small intimate restaurant features a small but cozy bar, nice wait staff and an excellent menu featuring vegetables and seafood. Our picks are the mussels for appetizers, the tuna or shrimp and pea risotto, and the "fish of the moment." Yes, that is another term for "fish of the day." My peep's fish was this exotic fish that we unfortunately forgot the name of, but I was told was multiple times was great.

In addition to have a large wine list (featuring glass, half bottle & full bottle), the menu has a nice selection of beer, too. Most importantly (well, if you have a sweet tooth like me) the desserts are well worth Vee Vee. I would imagine a nice way to end a date is to hit up Vee Vee for a nightcap of drinks and desserts. We tried one of each, and rhubarb was a big theme, being featured in the cheesecake and the rhubarb/apple cobbler. And I devoured the banana cream pie with an oreo crust. And don't worry chocolate freaks, there is a parfait for you, too.

Go and enjoy!

In the news...

Does the Fung Wah Look Good Again?
Probably not, but this story from boston.com about the new cheaper shuttle programs sounds pretty funny. The bus driver apparently hit a construction zone. hehehehe.

Wesley Snipes got 3 years in jail for the tax misdemeanors. Paris totally started a new trend. That's hott. Just kidding. It's sucks for him.

As some of you may know, right behind (kinda of) South Station, the headquarters for the Post Office is located there. And the PO is leaving. It will be interesting to see what gets developed there as the Fort Point Channel neighborhood continues to change. Click here for the Globe story.

Arby's Inc. (this roast beef fast food joint is not often seen in New England, but it's pretty popular around the country) just made a deal to buy Wendy's for $2.4 billion. I hope this doesn't mean the end of the Frostie. :)

Remember the NFL draft is tomorrow, and the Pats have the #7 pick. ESPN's Mike & Mike reported that you can follow the draft Saturday either by ESPN radio (890 AM here in the Boston area) or on ESPN TV.

"Baby Momma" comes out! Featuring Tina Fey and Amy Pohler it is sure to be hilarious.

Ok NKOTB fans, here is a story from the Globe's A&E section, previewing the new CD. There is a song called "Sexify My Love". Why not just go Color Me Badd on us and do a remake of "I Wanna Sex You Up."

Two more things!

Alright blogger fans, you are so hip you may know this, but hit up Starbucks and look for these business card sized pieces that are FREE itunes songs. This week - Counting Crows. This in addition to the free songs on itunes. Hollah!

And, I forgot to mention this! Suneri, a new women's fashion boutique opened up on Holland Ave in Davis Square (come off the T and go past Johnny D's). From the looks of it (I am the Boston gal you see peering in windows late at night) it's pretty freakin cute gals. Go check it out (it's now open!)

Enjoy the weather folks.

Boston Globe Review of Banq & another Cheap Eat

Seems like they liked the wood architecture too. Just don't get the watermelon shot, folks. The bar only has vodka, tequila and this watermelon shot...and the latter tasted worse than cough medicine.
As South Boston (and no, this time I don't mean the Waterfront, I mean SOUTHIE!) changes, best to hit it up now and take a look at the newest changing neighborhood. Go check out the Arts for Humanity green building (I recommend getting off at the Red Line Broadway stop), go to a local bar - Shenanigans, or the Playwright (a little farther up Broadway) for some real local flavor. And to start off your urban walk (remember, Southie has some beaches, too) eat your lunch at this new cafe.

Happy Earth Day!

Did you give a tree a hug yet? Well, I hope so.

Celebrate the day or week with some eco-lovin'. Like an eco-manicure at Salon Capri in Newton. Wed-Sat this week the manicures are only $10. Hollah! Click here for the salon's website and to book an appointment!

Hit up the Method store on Newbury Street...or some of the many other stores that sell ec0-friendly clothes. The Method Store is located at 329 Newbury, or the old Jasmine Sola location.
Take a hybrid cab! Did you know that Cambridge recently added more to the fleet? They are white Saturn hybrids.

And save the date- WBOS (92.9FM) Earthfeast is May 24th on the Hatchshell.

Restaurants

The Boston Globe Magazine is recommending a huge list of restaurants for occasions like - girls night out, bachelor party, drinks after work, etc. Click here for their whole list. I have to agree with them regarding many of their places, esp Silvertones (which I would argue is great for after work, too), Flour Bakery & Upstairs on the Square, just to name a few. And, this Boston gal learned something new - Pho Republique offers $2 dim sum Monday-Thursday form 5:30-7:30pm at their South End location. Hmm. dim sum and cheap? Sign me up.

They also have a list of romantic restaurants...click here for date worthy options. I find it humorous that Sonsie is the place to break up and Myers + Chang is the place to go after you get dumped. I can't agree more, especially with the Myers + Chang recommendation = talk about a fun place to go when you may be down, or a place to go to keep your happiness rollin'!

Lastly, click here for a review of Grezzo, the new raw foodie place in the North End.

And that Sandra Bullock and hubby Jesse James got hit by a drunk driver in Gloucester Ma. Holy crap! Everyone is fine folks...

And the on again, off again rumor of Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz expecting and getting engaged is true - Ashlee is preggers. Well, at least Pete is marrying a girl after knockin' her up.

Lastly, want to play some games? Indecision 2008 has some fun politico games for you. Click here to find out. I do not endorse playing these at work. :)

Review of Myers & Chang and Banq

It's my birthday bitches! And Myers and Chang is a great group dining experience. As long as you like Chinese food! Definitely try their sangria, (red for authenticity, white for the actual flavor of the drink) their dumplings (3 different types), udon noodles and more are delicious! And they give you a small little dessert to clean the palette without you even asking! It's awesome.

As for Banq, the architecture is cool. The bar area was small and not as busy as you'd want on a Friday night, but the drinks were great - like the belli-tini. Definitely worth stopping by for a a night cap.

Alright, enjoy the long weekend and Marathon Monday!

Some fun free events

Hella Juice - Milky Way never disappoints, and this hip hop dance jam tomorrow looks to just add to the love of all things JP. Milky Way is on Centre Street in JP and usually has a cover, but this event is free...on a side note, on Sunday 4/20 you can bowl and watch the Big Lebowski.

Ladies Night @ News - I figured this shtick ended, but apparently not. On Wednesday nights, ladies can get a FREE 3-course dinner at News in Boston, in the Leather District. Apparently some sexy tunes by Jay P will be spun...sounds like Ray J and his hit, "Sexy Can I", and no, you cannot. You slept with Kim Kardashian. gross.

Discovering the North Shore

You did know that the North Shore communities are less than an hour away? Good. Now go up the coast and check out these areas!

Beverly
- you can even take the commuter rail up here! Check out the Main Street area - there are some great bars and restaurants in their downtown area.

Salem - its no longer just known for the Salem Witch Trials...though, those museums are a fun scream, too.

Newburyport
- The downtown is so quaint. And, there is enough shopping and eating to keep you busy for the day. An added bonus is the great ocean breeze you feel as you walk around! :) They are doing some fun shopping nights on May 2 & 9th up there. And from Newburyport, Plum Island is just a short car trip away. Mad Martha's is a great breakfast/brunch spot.

Let's blog about the Waterfront/Fort Point Channel area, shall we?

So, this is the upcoming spot, right? I mean, if you got half a mil to drop, this is the place to buy a condo. :)

With that, let's take a look at what's around, shall we? I'll start with places to eat, cause you can tell this Boston gal loves food.

Legal Test Kitchen - A great seafood spot with wifi and ipod docks so you can listen to Miley Cyrus all you want...oh, maybe I just want to do that. :) Martinis are great here, and reasonably priced at around $8.75. This restaurant is brought to you buy the folks behind Legal Seafoods, so you'll be sure to love it. A great place for dinner before a BOA pavilion concert.

Flour Bakery - Hands down one of my favorite places to eat in Boston. Flour originally (and still is!) opened on Washington St in the South End, and now opened a larger venue on Farnsworth St. Same menu, same awesome food. Like the lamb sandwich with chutney and goat cheese, chocolate hazelnut desserts and berry bread pudding. Oh, I'm drooling at the idea.

Lucky's - This is a great bar. Good food, great vibe, good music, cute people. Well at least men. :) They offer Sinatra brunches.

Somewhere to go & eat:

ICA
- Institute of Contemporary Art, folks. It's an architecture beauty, as floors make you feel like you are walkin' on water, or at least on a boat. Wonderful views of the City and the airport. Unfortunately, for us art aficionados, there is only one floor of actual art - the museum is mostly a cafe, theater and media lab. I bet it's beautiful to see a dance troupe perform there. For now, I'll hit it up on Thursday nights at 4pm, when it's free!

Achilles Project - Part store for men & women's apparel, part new restaurant. It's a girl's dream...and some men, too. :) I'll have a full review on this hot spot soon, but if the flashin' lights have any signal, this is soon too to be a favorite place.

Other things to do:

Just walk around! Friends for Fort Point Channel have a 1-hour walking audio tour.

Explore the artists! This 'hood used to be known for its artists lofts, not steel framed buildings. Check them out. They are a whole community in a community.

Check out the Harbor Walk. Use it and abuse it people. The harbor walk is one of the City's most untapped resources.

Other spots:
Harpoon Brewery, Bank of America Pavilion, BCAC & hotels...too many to list.

See you at Flour folks. First, I have to go find that random office building where Leo Dicaprio is filming...that's a story for another time. ;)

Iron Chef - Boston Wins!

Normally, I would not do this, but when I saw the Boston Globe had written an article about it, I decided it was beyond my love of all things Ken Oringer. The chef behind Clio (in the Elliot Hotel), Toro (Washington St. South End) and La Verdad (Lansdowne, Fenway) was on Iron Chef this past weekend and ROCKED. It was awesome, really. It just goes to show you don't have to go to New York or Chicago to taste cuisine from a talented chef. Hooray!

Frank Lloyd Wright in New Hampshire!

Looking for a day trip? Perhaps a drive up to New Hampshire is in order. Head to Portland and its wonderful downtown filled with boutiques and great restaurants. Better yet, head to Manchester (I know, I'm recommending Manchester! Times have changed, and so have places!) to the Currier Museum. The museum has a solid collection of Picassos, Monets & O'Keefes. The museum recently went through an expansion plan, which includes not only more gallery space but a Winter Garden, mosaic floor and an auditorium with a piece by contemporary artist Sol de Witt. And the Frank Lloyd Wright part? Check out the Zimmerman House, the only NE home by him. Currier Museum is at 180 Pearl St in Manchester, NH.

TV News!

So, NBC is giving The Office a spin-off...but before we debate whether its Dwight's beet farm or Pam in art school, you will have to wait until after the 2009 Superbowl.

But...ER is going to finally end next fall with its 15th(!) season...Chuck will be back this fall, Heroes will come back with a 3-hour premiere (like a movie).

New shows - Christian Slater! He's bringing himself back in a new show called "My Worst Enemy" which has a "Bourne Identity" twist. And two new ones I've already talked about "Kath & Kim" with Molly Shannon and Selma Blair, and Knight Rider. Another new one will also be SNL on Thursdays, making a longer sketch of "Weekend Update" - it's called the Daily Show people. We don't need this.

Looking forward to seeing what ABC will have in store for us. :)

Will they be haningin' tough?

I will admit, I was a New Kids fan for like 5 seconds. I realize that out of my generation of women, that is like, a total shocker. I ruined my NKOTB tape as soon as I noticed all the other girls liking them...I was such a Madonna girl back then, granted, that hasn't changed. :)

But the boys, or should we say grown men (after all, Joey Mac is 35) are going to be on the Today Show on Friday. I gotta see them do the Hangin' Tough dance.
