Trillium Beer Garden: I visited with Jeff and my brother the first weekend they opened on the Rose Kennedy Greenway and loved it! I also like that they offer local wine in addition to beer. The food trucks are a huge plus too…I enjoyed a huge burrito after this picture was taken.

Super refreshing and the perfect summer brew.

The farro tagliatelle with duck ragout at Bar Mezzana – a truly incredible dish.
