You Need to Go to: BerryLine

I have one very important piece of advice for you. If you're in Boston, run to Harvard Square. Or whatever, you can walk; that's what Sara and I did today (LONG walk!). Or you can even take public transportation. Just yourself there and to 1 Arrow Street as soon as possible.

Why? To get to BerryLine. BerryLine is officially my new favorite place. It's a frozen yogurt place, but you know how most frozen yogurt tastes pretty much like ice cream? This actually tastes like real yogurt. Amazingly good, creamy yogurt. Of course, the best part is the toppings. They offer tons of different fruits, candies, cereals (Fruity Pebbles!), etc.

Or maybe the best part is that the yogurt has 25 calories/oz. So a small yogurt has 125 calories. A medium, 200. Wow. I'm seriously in love.

Finally. BerryLine is Boston's answer to PinkBerry. Now if only there were one just a little bit closer to my apartment, I think I might move in.


Sorry, we couldn't really wait to take pictures before we started eating!

You Should Eat at: Z Square

After Sues and I went to listen to a talk at Harvard by the founder of BlogHer, we realized we were starving. Actually, I realized I was starving during the talk as my stomach was growling louder than it ever has before. A few months ago Sues and I were hanging out in Harvard Square and we stumbled across a cafe called Z Square, we went in and grabbed a menu, and left since we had plans to be somewhere else.

So when the talk had ended the other night I remembered that we never actually ate at Z Square and figured we should try it. So glad we did. Sues got the Smoked Turkey and Gruyere Cheese panini with dijon mustard and tomato and potato salad for a side. I got a ZLT (applewood-smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado on toasted sourdough) with potato salad on the side as well. First of all... avocado on a traditional BLT... loved it. Second, the ZLT had the perfect amount of crunch and also softness from the avocado and tomato. I think after each bite I said "mmm.. this is sooo good" with a smile. And the potato salad! Normally I'm not such a fan of eating potato salad or other heavily mayo'ed foods that weren't made by someone I know (aka my moms or my aunts. yuuum!) But I figured I'd give it a try anddddd it was worth it! Really good consistency and not too much mayo, however it did need a little salt... no biggie. Also, the atmosphere at Z Square was quite lovely. Lots of chill Harvard students, great music, and the people who work there were friendly and genuine. There's also a full restaurant and bar downstairs from the cafe.

Stay tuned this Spring for other Harvard Square eateries because I have a feeling we'll be going back so much more as the nice weather approaches!!
