Pizzico has been in our repertoire for Italian dining for a few years. The food always is exceptional, and the environment works well for a family dinner, a night out with friends, or just the two of us dining. In the last year, we have discovered another reason to visit Pizzico: the martini bar. While the martini bar is located within the same building as the dining area, we just had not gone to that section of the restaurant previously.
Our discovery was a matter of happenstance. After an early afternoon spent running errands and not eating lunch, we drove

One of the things that I love about going to a restaurant that has a great bartender is the creativity she may have. If I have a certain flavor in mind but don't see anything that matches it on the menu, I quite frequently ask the bartender to create something in that vein.

On a hot June afternoon, I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with Lori Mason, sommelier and co-owner of Klee Brasserie. Located in the Chelsea area of Manhattan, it is a four year old, European-American restaurant with an emphasis on Austrian flavors. The Austrian notes are courtesy of the other co-owner, Daniel Angerer, who also is the chef and Lori's fiancé.
Lori brings a rich and diverse background to Klee. With a master's degree in philosophy, Lori contemplated pursuing a Ph.D. but switched to the world of law instead. After earning her law degree, she practiced at a New

Moat Mountain Smokehouse and Brewery, North Conway, NH

Some people go on a weekend trip to forget about work. Not me. Whenever I travel, I always have my eyes open for local brewers or beers that you can’t find in high distribution. As long as I can find a local winery in the area, I usually can bribe my travel companion to check out a brewery; you have to keep everyone happy.
On this trip north we were recommended to scout out Moat Mountain for their beer selection. After a day of walking around the outlets and Main Street, it was time to unwind with a beer and

When the thermometer reaches 40 in New England in February, you take advantage of the warmth. My husband and I did so this past weekend. With no kids at home, the sun shining, and the warmth of a 40 degree day ahead of us, we decided to head to the Massachusetts coast.
We had no set agenda, just got in the car and started driving toward the ocean. After stopping at an antiques shop and a butcher shop, we decided to spend our afternoon in Newburyport. We had been here once before and remembered that there were a number of
