Now that it’s above -10 degrees out, everyone should start spending more time outside and much less time doing homework. If you’re looking for something to do, here are my favorite warm-weather places in and around Boston: 1. Boston Harbor Islands Starting in May, you can take the $15 ferry to the Harbor Islands, a [...]

Sol Azteca is an authentic Mexican restaurant, which has been on Beacon street for 37 years. Here’s what I ordered last week when I went to check it out: Appetizer: Nopalitos en Salsa Verde (Cactus!) ($6.95) – We ordered this mainly just to see what cactus tastes like…luckily it turned out to be just the [...]

This past weekend I checked out India Quality in Kenmore Square. India Quality is a small, basement-level restaurant that is casual (they have a plate of pixy stix by the door), quick, and pretty well priced. Well, enough of that, onto what I ate! I myself ordered the Tandoori Lamb Kebab. Brought out on a [...]

As everyone on campus is aware, a new dining hall opened this year on Bay State! This one replaces the old Towers, Myles, and Shelton dining halls. Overall, I think this new dining hall is fantastic. With two floors of diverse, delicious, and healthy choices, I can always find something new I actually want to [...]

Yesterday, Mugar Library held its Grand Opening Ceremony and ribbon cutting! Alexis Gordon was chosen to cut the ribbon. She’s sporting one of the six hundred t-shirts the library gave away to passing students. There was also free cake and soda for students to enjoy! Beginning on September 30th is Banned Books week! I was [...]

I’m a huge fan of Mexican food, burritos, and really just food. That is why this battle of burritos is so important to me. I’ve done research and numerous taste-tests to prepare you for the next time you’re in the mood for Mexican. Our two contenders are Boloco and Chiptole. Although they are both essentially [...]

Today was disgustingly humid so I stayed home and decided to bake cupcakes! I made rainbow tie-dye cupcakes. They are the perfect treat for summer because they are so colorful, and with the help of boxed cake mix, they are extremely easy to make. Ingredients: Boxed white cake mix (I used Funfetti, for extra color) [...]

The worst thing about being handed a menu full of Mexican food is having to choose just one dish. That’s the agonizing decision I make every time I visit West Campus’ sumptuous Sunset Cantina. Technically, I do get to choose two dishes, because I always start off a visit to Sunset Cantina with an appetizer [...]

Last night, my roommates and I made a delicious fettuccine alfredo. When my roommate shared this recipe with me, I was intrigued by the lack of pasta in the dish. She is allergic to gluten, so I was expecting some kind of gluten free pasta to be involved, but instead I got squash. That’s right. [...]

I love Indian food. I don’t think I could ever get tired of it. I strongly urge anyone who hasn’t already tried it to do so. It’s not as adventurous in flavor combinations as Thai food, but Indian cuisine has a lot of interesting and complex dishes. India Quality is an amazing Indian restaurant right [...]
