Duckfat, 43 Middle Street Portland Maine

July 18, 2010

On the way home from an amazing camping trip in Maine, the Shady Tree Clan decided to grab an early dinner in Portland. Duckfat is a unique place.... The fries are actually fried in Duck fat and they are delicious!! All the food is made with fresh, natural ingredients. This would definatly be my go to place if I lived in Portland. It was a great way to end a great weekend!

Whiskey Priest, 150 Northern Avenue

July 14, 2010

After a fun night out on a Boston Harbour cruise for a Bruin's charity event, the girls and I stopped in to Whiskey Priest next to the pier. Whiskey Priest seems to have it all...great location on the waterfront with plenty of accessible parking, over 100 types of beer and the longest Whiskey menu in Boston. Except...they don't quite get it right, nothing fits together. The theme is kind of Irish, the menu has a mix of asian and seafood and the place is so loud you can't hear your friends next to you.

Special guests this week - Jill Butler, Sheila Buckingham and Niki Lawrence

The only highlight of this place was when Nikki dropped her tiny crab cake on the floor!

Atwood's Tavern, 877 Cambridge Street Cambridge

July 7, 2010







I didn't think I'd be able to fit a new bar in this week, but my softball teammates rallied and we stopped into Atwood's after the game. Atwood's is a neighborhood spot in Inman Square. They have live music every night, a decent beer selection and above average food. This is the type of place you can pull up a bar stool and get comfortable on a Sunday afternoon.



A solid 3....thanks for coming out Derek and Melanie Mueller and Katelyn Horrigan
