Hangover Brunch

THE ROX DINER

Granted I live in this part of town, but let me tell you, this is a hidden gem. Small little townie diner where you get a bang for your buck. The food is amazing and there is a great selection on the menu always comes out  nice and hot and within 5 minutes of you placing your order. Now THAT is service. They have amazing omelettes that you can add anything to and some of the best egg's benedict specials. If you're above the age limit, don't forget to try their mimosas for the bartender must be heavy handed. $8 - $11 for a nice portion of food on your plate (and the nicest waitresses in the world). I'll take it!

SORELLA'S

This place is like the classic dive bar of breakfast places. Oh, you want a website you can go to? Ha. They aint got time for that. Oh you want an organized menu. Your best bet is just going here. Oh you want choclatechip pancakes and bacon cooking into the pancake. I doubt you will hear a no. They hand you a menu, but there are 100 more dishes plastered all over the wall written on chalkboard or random pieces of construction paper they randomly found. Everything is cheap. They give you so much food that you are usually full half way through. All of it tastes amazing. Coffee refills for free. Bring it on! If you are hungover, don't even bother going anywhere else but here. Only three staff members work at this place and have been working at this place for years. They are quick They are a part of the community. People of the community to come back for more. For good reason. Not only just because most meals range from $6 - $9.

MIKE'S CITY DINER (A Boston Tradition)

Anytime I have every gone to this place. There was a line, I think they have 60 seats tops in this place. food moves quickly, people more quickly. There is a line for a reason. Not only do you feel classy because it is in the South end and because the food is awesome, but you also get a mound of food. You literally will be mind blown at how fast the cooks are. The waitresses clean and set up the table in 30 seconds or less. It somehow is still laid back here. Their lunch and dinner I have no tried. But I heard it is spectacular. Supposedly people like Guy Fieri and famous athletes, governors, mayors, and even presidents come here when they are in town. I would just come here to meet Beyonce if she were ever in town. Take a look at the menu, everything is under 9 bucks. They give you soo much food. I have to say, I usually take home my world's biggest omelette. It tastes amazing even after a couple of hours of sitting in my fridge. Do it!

Cask by day... Olivers by night

I'm sure every one of you knows Fenway Park, or at least where it is located. If you don't find out, because not only it is one of the most historic sites in the city it's also surrounded with some of the most renowned nightlife in the area. The one of the most famous venues, located next to the ballpark, the Cask N' Flagon.



The Cask N' Flagon (a.k.a. The Cask) is known for being the premier bar to view Red Sox games, among other local teams and the atmosphere follows suit. There are flat-screens everywhere you look that will keep you locked onto the games. There is no mistake that this bar is a shrine to everything Boston sports. It has been operating for over half a century in the same location and shows no sign of vacating anytime soon. Something that many people my age don't know, including myself until I looked into it, is that the Cask was originally opened as Oliver's in the 1960's and every famous classic rock band to come from Boston played there.



Oliver's is now a weekend only nightclub located in the rear of Cask N' Flagon behind large iron fencing. Every time I had been to this bar I had never ventured into Oliver's because I'd never heard anything about it so I assumed it was not worth going... I assumed wrong. When the fence opens on Friday nights that place gets going, hard. As I took the corner around the entrance I was immersed in a place that would rival many other clubs in Boston. The bar was huge, and the quick service was appreciated. The atmosphere was more casual than other clubs, but with a lounge area located behind the 400 sq. foot dance floor. it was still aesthetically upscale. Speaking of which, the pricing was hardly that. It is slightly more expensive than other places featured on this blog, however the value of the experience is worth the extra few bucks.

I will be returning to this club one weekend very soon, I suggest you should do the same.

Price: $$

Ambience: big groups of young adults, older college students

From the minute I stepped inside Royale, I knew I was gonna have the best night! And I was 100% correct! There was a massive palace looking staircase and the main dance hall was HUUUUGE! I loved everything about it, especially since it was a themed night. And according to the facebook page, there's frequently events held here. The night i went, it was a glow party and I see they hold other themed parties - "interstellar", DJ residences, "Haunted Chocolate Factory", so on and so forth!

The music played in Royale is a complete mix, proper bump and grind R&B to dance music to cheesy pop songs, and everyone is happy! Me and my friends were loving life!! The atmosphere was fab, for a Saturday night it wasn't too crowded and nobody was grouchy and impatient trying to move around the club, although it was busy. 

And for prices. Girls are in luck: free until Midnight! Guys were around $15, however I'm unsure as to whether it differs depending on nights, events, etc. And drinks...I drink vodka cranberry and vodka, and it was only $6. For a Saturday i was fairly impressed by these prices! Although....I ordered that drink and there may have been some confusion with my crappy accent, and I was given a cranberry and TEQUILA and it cost me $10. So don't get that...although it's all I needed that night, so it may have been a good mistake?

Shake Shack VS Tasty Burger: Burgers Worth the Bills

Shake Shack is widely known for the longest lines you have ever seen. What brings them in? Is it the amazing burgers, fries, and shakes? Or is it the line that creates a longer line? Do people become brainwashed? Is it worth the $8.50? Some say YES. You probably wouldn't even want to eat anything else that day because it wouldn't even match up to this taste. You can pretty much anything on this burger! Ooh baby, do you know what that's worth, oooh  Shake Shack is a place on earth, you make heaven a place on earth.

Tasty Burger. Perhaps I am bias because this was the first "upscale" burger I have ever tried. Or maybe because I tried it when I was wasted and it hit my flavor sensors like like Mariah Carey hits the highest of all notes. The "Rise and Shine" burger really changed my life. Tasty Burger  is officially the love of my life. As a student, for $10, you can get a burger, fries, and a can of beer. Come on! It may not be as cheap, but it is defnitely worth the bucks! Also it's totally hip.
