Daily Caffeine fix for me: The Starbucks on my block. The Venti Iced Vanilla Skinny Latte starts my morning off strong. Starbucks Coffee
My gym: Boston Sports Club at Copley Place. Without hitting the gym, where would we all be? Or better yet, how would we all look? I love this BSC because it has a great indoor pool, yoga studio, spinning, and flat screen tv's on all of the cardio machines.

How I get around town: As an urban dweller that also works in the city, I take full advantage of Boston's title of "America's Walking City". Therefore, you will mostly see my hoofing it or taking the Boston:MBTA or the T.
Getting Outdoors: I am lucky enough to live just a few short blocks from the Esplanade. I hit the Charles for a number of things from running after work, having a picnic in the summer with friends, to people watching with a good book.

Drinks with friends: I love meeting friends and rehashing our days and work weeks over a few cold ones or a nice glass of wine. You can usually find me doing this at a few of my favorite neighborhood haunts:
The Hill Tavern , Harvard Gardens or Bin 26 Enoteca
Casual dinner in the neighborhood: Boston is a city so full of restaurants, casual and formal. For a quick bite in Beacon Hill I usually head to:The Paramount The Kinsale, or Figs for inventive pizza.
Getting my groceries: As much as I like going out to eat, I do love to do cook myself. To stock up on groceries, I usually hit up Whole Foods Market for their wide variety of cheeses and prepared foods, Savenor's Market for the best butcher and cut meats, or Deluca's Market for the freshest produce.
Getting a taste of culture: Living in Boston, I realize that culture is surrounding me. However, sometimes I seek it out by checking out the Museum of Afro-American History or by hitting up an exhibition at Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
Shopping: Most women love to shop and I have to admit that I am no exception. For fun and funky threads I stop by my friend's boutique on Charles Street, Crush Boutique. For the more traditional and preppy purchase, I usually swing by J. McLaughlin. When I have to buy a friend a unique and charming gift, I stop into either Blackstone's on Charles Street or Koo De Kir on Chestnut Street to find that perfect something.
