Everyone Loves a Boston Girl

New favorite brunch spot: The Metropolitan Club

Amazinggg. I am a brunch lover, mainly because I love breakfast food, but am never in the mood for it at breakfast time. So obvious solution…brunch! We all know how obsessed I am with brunch at Brookline’s The Fireplace (they just won the A-list’s most romantic restaurant, go them!), but The Met Club on Rt. 9 totally rivals it (in terms of brunch…The Fireplace’s dinner is incredible and their mojitos to-die-for). Honestly, their eggs benedict with crab cakes was seriously perfect. The crabcake alone was one of the best I’ve ever had at a restaurant (Legals=yummy, too). But there were about a million things on the menu I wanted to try. Even the coffee was fabulous.

I love my aunt for many reasons, but one of that is that she basically only goes to the best restaurants in the city/Brookline and takes me everywhere. I grew up lunching with her at The Ritz and The Four Seasons, and having dinner at the Capital Grille. And the restaurant employees always seem to know her wherever we go. Did I mention she’s not even my real aunt? She’s my mom’s best friend and my closest “relative” within 8 hours. She is soo good to me and I am incredibly lucky that I now live right down the road from her. In addition, she is all for drinking in the afternoon, which means ordering expensive bottles of wine and after dinner drinks while out to brunch. Life is goood.
