The annual brunch will allow patrons to "do good and eat well" in Boston on Jan. 26th and 27th.
If only there were more charitable events where all you have to do is show up and eat. For conscious-minded consumers in Brookline, several neighborhood restaurants are offering the opportunity to do just that, through the Greater Boston Food Bank's Super Hunger Brunch on Jan. 26-27.

Take yourself back to your high school days, and feel that fear and excitement that builds up when you're about to ask that girl or guy that you "like" to prom. Whether you've been married for years, or dating for a few weeks, pluck up the courage to ask your special someone out again, and try a few of these spots in town to give them an evening to remember. La Morra Why? This cozy spot for Italian food features great food, great service and an extensive wine list. The wine pairings suggested on the menu are always on point.
