New Moon
Mourning the loss of Moon and Raven downtown? Try its successor, The Crooked Goose! There’s still the great atmosphere with an English pub kind of menu. We started with salads. Ben and Phil each got a burger and fries, and I opted for the sausage roll. (After traveling in Scotland last summer, it was a…
Basil Wood Fired Kitchen and Lounge
Remember our restaurant guessing contest? We were so happy to have Sunday brunch with our winner, Amy, and her adorable son, Alex! Have you been to Basil yet? If not, what are you waiting for? It is the best!

The Big Salad
It’s like a salad, only bigger, with lots of stuff in it. What’s not to love about summer? These days, we are taking advantage of every ray of sunshine and every piece of produce that comes our way. We had the best weekend ever by doing both. From top to bottom: Tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, olive…
