On the Town: $5 Tapas at Tapeo in Boston

IMG_1714In the spirit of sharing a good deal, please allow me to introduce you to Tapeo in Boston. Tapeo is a fantastic Spanish style tapas restaurant on Newbury Street in Boston’s Back Bay with a lovely outdoor patio, interior seating and bar area. While it’s almost irresistible not to sit on their great patio on a nice summer day, the $15 per person minimum is not always ideal when you just want a little snack. Enter, the $5 tapas menu at the bar.

The menu at the bar changes frequently, but always seems to have a list of Tapeo’s famous standby’s. The best part is that they’re the same size as their full priced counterparts. I met a friend on a Sunday evening and we had quite a budget-friendly feast!

Travel: One Ocean Resort & Spa in Atlantic Beach, Florida

IMG_2291When it comes to the destination wedding of a good friend, you simply go with the flow and hope for the best. Such was the case with a destination wedding in Atlantic Beach, Florida.

I’ll confess – I’m not a huge beach person, but in scrolling through the website and TripAdvisor reviews, I started to get pretty excited. With a great gym, spa and plenty of local shops and restaurants within walking distance, I hoped this could be a nice mini getaway.

Coffee Art: Tomtom in Belgravia, London

IMG_0146One of the (many, many) things I enjoy about London is when I order a cappuccino and a work of art arrives. The cappuccino in the photo is from the Tomtom Coffee House in Belgravia. A dear friend who knows all of the best cafes in the area brought me there and it’s lovely. In addition to being a charming coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating, Tomtom has a full menu. In a unique twist, Tomtom also specializes in cigars and has a shop around the corner dedicated to selling them.

However, what really got me about Tomtom was the delicious cappuccino that I almost didn’t want to drink because it was so pretty. But, let’s be real, that didn’t last very long.

Tomtom Coffee House is located at 114 Ebury Street in Belgravia, London.
