georgetown cupcake

Georgetown Cupcake has been open for a few months now at its newest location on Newbury Street. The sister-run cupcake company was featured on TLC's DC's Cupcakes, so you may have seen their tasty treats around. Usually there is a line out the door at their Boston location, but this past weekend we rolled in right before closing and snuck in a cupcake before calling it a night. I went with the vanilla cupcake with chocolate ganache...no pictures because I ate it too fast...oops! The cupcake was moist and the ganache made it almost seem like a fudge fancy (my cookie weakness), so it was perfect in my mind.

If you "like" Georgetown Cupcake on facebook, you will get updates for their daily secret free-cupcake giveaways, and also have the chance to be entered into their daily trivia question where you can win a dozen cupcakes...fo free! Good luck!

bon me pop-up picnic

Bon Me, the fresh & inventive Vietnamese food truck, hosted their 2nd pop-up picnic this week. For this picnic they partnered with West Bridge, a new French restaurant in Kendall (and soon-to-be new neighbors of Bon Me's first home in a building)! The 4-course picnic was $18 and came with a picnic blanket, to make it super romantic. My friend, Grace, and I set up camp and enjoyed the following in the Rings Fountain park on the Rose Kennedy Greenway with a thai iced tea and a spicy ginger lemonade: 

1st: pork butter crostini

2nd: bok choy slaw

3rd: a baguette chock-full of pickle

carrot & daikon, cucumbers, cilantro,

 red onion, housemade spicy mayo, 

pate, with a prepared braised tongue

 and plum mustard.

4th (my favorite course, which I could

 probably eat 5x/day for a week):

 coconut amaranth pudding

After a filling picnic spent trying to grasp the complexity & range of ingredients combined in the tastiness we were consuming, we decided to walk it out. We headed towards the North End and stumbled upon a beautiful rose garden, on one of the most perfect-weather-evenings of the summer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

After exploring, we headed straight for LuLu's cupcakes to split a carrot cake cupcake, before parting ways. It was a perfect date night on a perfect evening in Boston. Thank you Bon Me & West Bridge for sharing your culinary treats with Boston, if only for 1 night!
