Hi, thanks for stopping by!

I started this blog with the goal of offering readers a glimpse into my experiences around Boston. As someone who's always wondered "what should I do this weekend?" I wanted to create something to give ideas for just that. My experience in the hospitality industry and real estate industry have opened me up to so much that this city has to offer. Take some time to explore the blog and see for yourself. Feedback is always welcome as I'm constantly trying to improve. Read on and enjoy!

Let the posts
come to you.
