Happy happy worst month ever March kids! Here’s everywhere I’m drinking loving in the Bean lately::
I’ve found myself becoming somewhat of a stalker regular at Citrus & Salt in Back Bay this year. And this is me claiming my territory before the general population goes all Tatte on it and makes it the go-to spot for millennial pink grams. This coastal Mexican restaurant’s cocktail menu is TDF even if it is embarrassing AF to order something called Take Your Pants Off, and the Flaming Cheeto Mexican Street Corn is hotter than a shirtless Dean Unglert. No I was not given free food to say this but I would v. much like some are you listening Jason Santos?
Have you been to Seaport lately? It’s like wow, suddenly we live in a real city. The new ShowPlace ICON opened this week and it is not your momma’s movie theater. Heated seats, a lounge and bar, floor-to-ceiling/wall-to-wall screens, and digital laser projection whatever that means.
The Godfrey Hotel Boston turned 2! It was #bloggersgonewild at their second birthday party earlier this month, and I cannot think of a more fun hotel for a little Boston staycation. Parked right in Downtown Crossing, it’s a saucy little spot to hole up in after a dinner downtown or theater show.
Speaking of, Boston Ballet’s Romeo & Juliet waltzes into the Boston Opera House March 15 – April 8. Will report back with my champagne-influenced review thoughts in a couple weeks!
I posted about the new Casper location in Chestnut Hill last week, and have gotten a million like three follow ups about their mattresses since. We have only indulged in the sheets and pillows, but if you are in the market for a mattress, I have heard nothing but fabbity things. You’re given a 100-night trial period, and since they come rolled up, you’ll never have to worry about how to get the thing in your fourth-floor 600-sq-ft Beacon Hill bach pad. Blessed.
But now GD winter storm permitting I’m outta here! Follow along our California marriage test road trip on Instagram:: @emilyshell + #jetsetchicd!

Okay so love this post- 1. I need to go to Citrus & Salt immediately. 2. I’m obsessed with the new Icon movie theatre. It’s literally the best. 3. Can’t wait to hear about Romeo & Juliet!

Ha ha ha ha – “worst month ever.” I have ALWAYS said the only redeeming quality of March in New England is the sugar shacks. I wish you Happy Pancakes, Waffles, and Corn Fritters this month!
Wait wait wait, tell me more about sugar shacks….why have I never heard of these?!
You are missing out on all that March has to offer! Sugar shacks are places (primarily farms) that collect maple sap and turn it into maple syrup. The sap runs this time of year because the days are usually a little warmer (40’s) and the nights are really cold.
So while they are making their maple syrup a lot of these places serve breakfast seasonally – complete with all the real maple syrup you can eat. Pancakes, waffles, fritters, syrup on snow the list goes on and on! They tend to be rustic locations and very down home (hence the “shack” part), but are always a ton of fun and delicious. A lot of places also give tours of where they boil the sap. I’m sure if you google Eastern Mass sugar shacks you will get a bunch of options – but if you are ever in Western Mass some of my favorites are, Gould’s and The Strawbale Cafe.
Well I am on it then! Thanks so much April! xo
