New Bundle of Joy: The Stork Club Boston Opens in the South End

Although Bostonians are always jazzed with the prospect of a new nightlife venue, the Stork Club Boston is actually making beautiful music in the South End.  Located near the intersection of Columbus and Massachusetts Ave, the Stork Club offers live jazz, blues and moderately priced cuisine.

Excelsior Update

One of my favorite Boston blogs, Chowder, from Boston Magazine, posted a blog entry about the future of Excelsior.  While I’m sad to see Excelsior close, it looks like we have one, possibly two new hot spots to look forward to this fall.  And you know how I heart inexpensive food/drinks in a chic atmosphere:

NIGHTLIFE

It's Official: Excelsior Closed For Good

After hearing rumors that Excelsior’s last night was going to be Saturday, January 31, I paid one last visit to this cozy lounge on the first floor of the Four Seasons in Boston. I’ve been to Excelsior dozens of times, from a delicious blowout dinner with colleagues in the upstairs dining room, to numerous stops for cocktails. I’ve always enjoyed Excelsior, and will be sad to see it go.  I hope that whatever new concept replaces it will be just as classy and fabulous as its predecessor.

Beacon Hill Bistro: Classic Breakfast With Reasonable Prices

Fresh off the Boston Common and onto the uneven brick sidewalks of Charles St., the Beacon Hill Hotel & Bistro is one of the first stops in this charming neighborhood.  Ranked as one of the top brunch spots in Boston, the Beacon Hill Bistro offers a fresh breakfast in a bright, cozy atmosphere.

Beacon Hill Hotel and Bistro by Whiffen V. from Yelp

Decor inside the Beacon Hill Bistro is simple, with tables lining the long and narrow space.  Light fills into the restaurant from large windows, accentuated by white walls, and simple tables.  While tables are almost on top of one another, diners enjoy a relatively private meal, but still have a chance to scope out dishes from surrounding tables.

The bunch menu is french-inspired and features yogurt and house-made muesli, a variety of egg dishes, lunch staples, with something for the entire family.  Recommended dishes include the fresh salads, the massive roasted mushroom omelet with comte cheese, and grilled chicken sandwich with pesto.  For those with a serious sweet tooth, dig into the decadent vanilla pancakes with caramelized bananas, which recieved gasps from the large party next to us because it was the item many wanted to order, but deemed too rich.

Also available are great cappuccinos, and luscious cocktails- try the classic bellini, or blood red cosmo- at $10 they cost as much as most dishes on the brunch menu!
