Have you had enough of holiday music?!

As usual, holiday songs have been hammering into our consciousness the day after Thanksgiving. Personally, I am not too much a fan of holiday songs... I like them in minute doses. So, this is for all those peeps who share the same sentiment with me regarding the holiday music. Here is a little musical treat. I promise this will put a smile on your faces and make you all warm & fuzzy :) Check it out!


I hope listening to this song will transport you to a warm beach town. Enjoy!

Ice Skate at Fenway

As many of you may have heard, the NHL's Winter Classic will be held this New Year's Day in Fenway Park, with the Flyers facing off with the Bruins.

Tickets for the actual game are obviously quite difficult to obtain. It may be just as difficult to get the tickets that are available to Boston residents for free skating on that rink on Jan 3 and Jan 10.

The boston.com post about this.

And the official press release

Tickets can be obtained this Saturday morning.

Aristo Cafe open downtown


Aristo Cafe has recently opened downtown at 92 State Street.

Hours are Monday - Saturday 7am to 6pm. The hopes are to add Sunday hours in the future. Coffee, baked goods, and lunch items are served. Breakfast sandwiches will be available starting this Thursday.

This is the old Finagle-a-Bagel location on Merchants Row, which sadly closed earlier this year (Sandra, Iris, and Lulu are deeply missed).


For more information, call them at (617) 391-0478 or stop by for a visit. Hopefully we'll get a review for you in a couple of days once they have a chance to settle in more.
