The Jogging Concierge

Even though my blog has been collecting dust and the sound of crickets has been resonating, I’ve hardly been inactive and quiet. I’ve had the chance to participate in some great local events that I’ve been wanting to write about. And now I can!

Steamship Authority and Where Magazine Party

Last Monday, the Steamship Authority and Where Magazine hosted a party at Davio’s in Boston. I, unfortunately, did not take a whole lot of pictures, but I did get some great information! The Steamship Authority presented the 2013 schedules for their ferry’s to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. And because of the connection made that night, the company I work with has now developed a partnership where we will be offering our residents discounts on both ferry’s. Very exciting developments! And even more exciting developments at work that I can’t wait to tell you all about.

And the lone picture from that night: a delicious blood orange cocktail.

There were tons of passed hors d’ouevres and charcuterie, cheese and bread to munch on. Another great evening.

Massachusetts Travel & Tourism at Boston Chops

Last Wednesday, I was invited by the wonderful Meghan to attend the Massachusetts Summer 2013 Preview at the new Boston Chops restaurant in the South End. They provided passed hors d’ouevres from the restaurant and delicious wines from Travessia Urban Winery in New Bedford. Side note: I really need to explore New Bedford. It’s a quaint fishing village that boasts delicious cuisine, wine, and history. We enjoyed cabernet blends, chardonnays, shrimp, oysters and oxtails croquettes (amazing by the way!).

In addition to receiving information on what Massachusetts has to offer this summer (tons I must say, from the Berkshires to Cape Cod!) we were also giving a generous gift bag with sweets from Harbor Sweets, a cookie from Bonnievilles and candy from Robin’s Candy.

One of the connections I made that evening that I’m very much looking forward to taking part in is with New England Brewery Tours. They take you to Harpoon, Sam Adams and a select local brewery. You know I love me some beer! Paired with some local cuisine and you have yourself an eventful and tasty day.

South End Concierge Stroll

This past Monday, the South End Business Alliance opened the many doors of South End businesses to the local concierge in the city.

We stopped at the following locations:
-Cinquecento
-Adelson Gallery
-Lekker Home
-Hudson
Calderwood Pavilion
-Boston Chops
-Blo Bar
-Pathway to Wellness
-Gaslight

I’m sure there were more but unfortunately I can’t remember them all!

We received maps of the South End, tickets to In The Heights, information on upcoming shows, complimentary appetizer cards, and so much more. The South End is definitely an area of Boston that I really haven’t explored yet. There’s so many great restaurants there that I want to try and wonderful little shops and galleries. Another fantastic evening!

And after going through my pictures, I realized I still have yet another night that I want to recap, but this post is long enough.

What’s your favorite city? Favorite neighborhood in a city?
