It seems that every Mobile Spinach Tastemaker from Boston is writing about The Equal Exchange deal of a “Free cup of drip coffee at Equal Exchange Cafes throughout Boston”. There. I did it. Now I’ll stick with another trend and kick you some knowledge about some fitness for the new year…no one is writing about that. Jesus. Check out Ultimate Boot Camp (www.ultimatebootcamp.com) for some high kicking pain. Though I’ve heard good things I’m still not sold as the lady in the picture on the website is smiling when she should a siren screaming in high-thigh and glute pain.

So it goes without saying that we’ll both be getting a little tipsy tomorrow night and most likely having a sloppy kiss at midnight which was feel a ton better than it looks; thank god our eyes will be closed. More importantly is the hangover cure the next day. We’ve already staked out our morning, or afternoon, table at Poe’s Kitchen at The Rattlesnake (http://rattlesnakebar.com/).

Let it be known throughout the land that the Bloody Mary Eggs Benedict with a Bloody Mary or two is the best hangover cure in all of time. It is written…as long as we have a table and not to long of a wait.

If my man comes asking you for advice this year for presents please let him know that I want some Spring time jewelry collections from Tistik (www.shoptistik.com). I just found them online and the bright and clear designs remind me of something Brooke Shields would have concocted while in residence at The Blue Lagoon.

We are going to need a break between Christmas and NYE. Between visiting friends and relatives some alone time with each other is going to be imperative to our survival. We will be heading into Spa Christine (www.spachristine.com) for a quick revitalization of body and mind and emotions that I can assure you will be a thin crust pizza by then. Also, when we’re out shopping caffeine is what equals revitalization. We have our Mobile Spinach discount at Equal Exchange Café (www.equalexchange.coop/index.php). Here it is if you want to use it!

Equal Exchange Cafe offers free cup of coffee just for Mobile Spinach members.

We’d love to be visiting San Francisco during its “Summer Months” (i.e. November through June) and taking advantage of all the Mobile Spinach promotions they keep bragging about landing. Alas, all we can do is write about how “dope” they are. Whatever!

It’s finally time to bundle up at home and when we go out. We’ve heard good things about Coppa, a little Italian eatery in the South End. The wine list is enough to keep you warm via the glow of accents involved in pronouncing the names of regions and vineyards. The bar menu is supposedly thorough and delicious so pair up some wines with that and we’re happy and cozy.

Patch NYC (http://www.acquireboutique.com/) is opening up in our historic ‘hood. We, we’ll I, spent a Sunday afternoon mesmerized by how in the hell someone collects all the intricacies for sale in the NYC store. I will be ready to spend an entire Sunday in the new shop when it opens.

We love our local Bostonian beers. This weekend we’ll be pleasing both our palates and not so much our livers at the Beer Summit Harvest Fest. They supposedly have over 45 samples from local breweries on tap. I will be making us hit the gym on Sunday you best believe it.

The Living Room at the W Hotel (www.starwoodhotels.com) is opening this week and we can’t wait to check it out. Not only does it house Market by uber chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, it’s the freakin’ W! When we gallivant to other cities we always try and stay in the W. It can be hazardous though to a vacation as we never ever want to get out of their beds. Unreal. Thank you for coming to Beantown!

The restaurant in the W is finally opening. Market seems, from the pictures I’ve seen, to blend well with the hotel’s ascetic and will hopefully be accentuated by the cuisine. The space is located in the theatre district so dinner and a show and a possible get-a-way at the hotel is very possible. No standing in the cold waiting for a cab, straight to the room and under the covers.
