Boston’s restaurant and hotel scene never sits still, and neither do I. I’m back with a fresh round of additions to my Boston Guide, including two hotels I’ve now reviewed in depth (hello, Back Bay chic and Seaport efficiency), plus a few meals that were so good I’m still thinking about them on the flight home.
If you’re planning a Boston trip and want a mix of treat-yourself spots and practical, well-located stays, this update is for you.
From a contemporary art museum with surprise celebrity connections to a beautifully refurbished pub that’s putting Maida Vale on the foodie map, this London Guide update spans culture, comfort, and cinematic charm. Add in a Borough Market seafood spot with a cheeky name, one of my new favorite pub burgers in the city, and dinner in the very place Bridget Jones once called home, and you’ve got five reasons to get exploring.
After years of dreaming about a getaway to Cornwall, I finally made it to St. Ives and it exceeded every expectation. With its turquoise waters, charming boutiques, sandy beaches, and thriving art scene, this coastal town is the perfect place for an escape.

Here’s a look at everything I experienced and loved on my trip to St. Ives.
Boston’s restaurant and hotel scene evolves quickly, and there’s no better time than the present to refresh my Boston Guide. The last update was in January, and since then I’ve visited several spots that deserve a mention. From standout seafood bars to boutique hotels, here are five additions that will make your next Boston itinerary more delicious and comfortable.
It’s time for another update of my London Guide! If you are new to my blog, I used to live in Boston and now I have lived in London for ten years. I have a great Boston Guide which I update regularly with my trips home and I also update my London Guide monthly. Both guides are completely free and all are places I have personally visited, with my honest feedback. If this little old blog ever gets big enough to enjoy a comped meal, I’ll make sure to disclose it.
Now that we have covered that housekeeping, let’s get into the good stuff. Namely – five new restaurants on my London Guide, including Megan’s at the Battersea Power Station, No 32 The Old Town in Clapham, Oriole, The Barbary Notting Hill, and The Ivy Tower Bridge. Let’s dig in!
