sunday brunches

Posted by Lucia Cordon

Ever since I was a little girl, I HATED breakfast! my mom would force me to have breakfast before school although it was always a struggle. Now that I work in the morning and have to be at work by 9, I have gotten used to having coffee as breakfast and a quick bite around noon. However, I recently discovered the pleasure of having late brunch on Sunday mornings.

In my latest quest for finding the best brunch in Boston, I have tried a few restaurants I suggest you visit as well.

The Four Seasons Hotel offers a great brunch. http://www.fourseasons.com/boston/dining/aujourd_hui.html

Bin26 on Charles street is a wine bar but offers great eggs and amazing hazelnut hot chocolate. www.bin26.com

Burton's grill, not far from Simmons has the best crab cake eggs benedict I've had. http://www.burtonsgrill.com/

If you're going for a more traditional touristy place, Paramount on Charles street is a good place to try. http://www.paramountboston.com/pages/menus/brunch.html

Finding comfort in food during snowy days

Posted by Lucia Cordon

Lately, this snow and horrible weather makes me want to stay at home all day and hibernate without socializing or even leaving for food. However, I've decided to take a different approach and wander out to look for a good restaurant to find comfort in a yummy dessert and a warm drink.

After some research, I decided to try out Burdick chocolate cafe in Cambridge. The small coffee shop not far from Harvard Square offered a warm and cozy refuge for freezing students around the cambridge area. I found a variety of dark, white and milk hot chocolates that makes a perfect afternoon snack coupled with a pistachio french macaroon.

Burdick located at 52D Brattle Street in Cambridge should not be missed.

Where do you go to warm up during the winter?
