Pittstarter: Play Games with LFG

Last week, I took a trip out to Brookline to sit down and get defeated at a variety of games at Looking for Group (LFG). The name and its abbreviation is a well known phrase in gaming communities- the online call of “does anyone want to play with me?”   LFG hopes that you want to do more than just play. LFG is positioning itself as an unusual hybrid: it’s a co-working space combined with a pay-to-play gaming space. John Lange, one of the founders, doesn’t think that combination is odd at all. It grows out of his own interests:… Read the rest

Sandwiches at Il Padrino

I absolutely had to add a post regarding my Brookline neighborhood. I love that it still has a city neighborhood feel to it. People that grew up there still know each other and their families. It’s great! Adding to its uniqueness is a fabulous new eatery, Il Padrino. On Brookline Blvd., there are many pizza places, drug stores, bars, that you can find a quick snack. None of them come close to Il Padrino. This deli has more sandwiches than you can imagine. Gyro? Yes. Cheesesteak (with real steak)? Yes. Chicken Wrap? Yes. Club sandwich? Yes. Anything! Chalkboards full of… Read the rest
