Maras Dondurmasi (Turkish Ice Cream) Is The Coolest [Laugh Of The Day]

Dondurma is the word used for ice cream in Turkey.  Turkish ice cream is made with goats milk and salep (orchid flour).  The resulting product is extremely thick (as a consequence of the salep), fairly chewy, and reminiscent of taffy.  My first experience with it was at the Boston Turkish Festival (website) a few years …

Damn skippy!  That said, foursquare (iTunes page) is a kick ass app that ALMOST makes me want to rethink my stance. What exactly is foursquare? Its a location aware social media tool that …

Out of Town: Figs Pizza Restaurant Review – Charlestown, Boston, MA

Overall:[rating:0] (epic fail) Oh what a pity … Figs has really fallen flat.  You can sense their hidden, reclusive quality that is masked by a lot (and I do mean a lot) of serious flaws.  What was once a fantastic pizza joint is now a shameful iteration of its former self.  The inner child is …
