During the summer, when our schedule allows, my husband and I schedule our business travel at the same time. Although our days are filled with meetings, we have our evenings, and occasionally our weekends, to play. What better way is there to spend a Saturday in Manhattan than walking through various sections of the city? Over the last few trips, we have toured Fifth Avenue shops, Central Park, and Chelsea Market among other areas.
On each of these journeys, we have spent a good portion of the day walking several miles. As these walks are purely for pleasure, we often stop

Butter Café & Bakery, Walpole, MA

When you think of a café and bakery, does a whole pig roast come to mind? How about a clambake? Most likely, neither pairing seems like something you would expect. However, those are just two of the items that make Butter Café & Bakery the unique place that it is.
What first drew my attention to this amazing bakery/café/caterer was their peep promotion, "Peeps Will Die!" With every bakery order placed for Easter, customers can request a dozen homemade peeps for free. While I am not a peep aficionado, actually I don't even eat them, the title caught my eye,

Review: Marion’s Pie Shop, Chatham, MA
by TT on August 26th, 2008 | BakeriesWe decided to end our summer with a weeklong trip to Cape Cod with our family of 6 and my brother's family of 4. Although we stayed in a 4 bedroom house with a regular-sized kitchen, I found it difficult to cook without my own tools. So, while on vacation, I indulged in baked goods not made by me. (Gasp! Michele served non-homemade desserts!)
Heading out for daily ventures, we drove by Marion's Pie Shop. This little shop on the side of the road always had parking lots filled with customers, which piqued my curiosity. So,
Review: Mike’s Pastry – Boston, MA

While walking the Freedom Trail with my fiance, we stopped to have lunch at Florentine Cafe. Having eaten pasta and some bread, dessert did not seem a likely option. However, as we were walking through the North End of Boston, we noticed the sign for Mike's Pastry and could not pass on the indulgence of a treat.
As is typical of this bakery, there was a decent-sized crowd in line to purchase pastries. Seeing an open table, we decided to have a seat and enjoy our baked goods inside the bakery. Of course, before we could

While on vacation in Maryland, we headed up to Delaware to check out the Natural History Museum. The museum was a hit on a chilly rainy day. Leaving the museum was an unpleasant end to the trip, as the miserable weather brought a chill to me. To bring some warmth back, a cup of coffee seemed like a great idea.
Driving on the Kennett Pike, neither my fiance or I were familiar with the area, so we searched roadside malls for a coffee shop. Luckily, we saw PureBread Deli. Entering the deli, I noticed a large menu
