Dorchester Winter Farmers' Market!


The Winter Market was packed with Dorchesterites, shopping for vegetables, breads, and cakes. We were able to pick up some wonderful garlic and kale. We also saw plenty of grass-fed beef, collard greens, sweet potatoes, potatoes, butternut squash, and radishes. It is amazing what they can grow locally during the always cold New England winter. Some standouts included Good Measure Bakery, Lawton Cheese and Meats, Silverbrook Farm, and Oakdale Farm. The Winter Farmers' Market runs Sundays 12-3 from January to March.

New Asian Resturant and Bar on Dot Ave.

We have been driving by this place in Savin Hill for over a year and it was always under construction. Originally, we heard it was going to be a sushi bar. Instead, they seem to serve Japanese shabu shabu with some other types of Asian cuisine. If they are up to our standards, we hope to review them soon...
