Not so long ago I was introduced to this brilliant comedian by my boyfriend. I can honestly say that I almost cry and occasionally wet my pants laughing when I watch some of his stand up. Enjoy :)

Martini at 11 am on a Sunday, anyone?
Name: South End Buttery
Location: 314 Shawmut Avenue (South End, Boston)
Price: $$- $$$
Highlights: relaxing atmosphere, American/English cuisine, organic fresh simple bla bla dishes
Low Point: the zombie like people on the cafe side in search of muffins and croissants that come there on weekend mornings
Yes, I am well aware that I am the worst blogger of all time aren't ppl supposed to update them daily or at least weekly but I do have a good excuse the Swedish part of me should be good at this- what did we say when people accused us of not being neutral during WWII?... I was busy... with stuff...NO! I was busy living a life! nice save Anastasia. Since I have been oh so bad at keeping up this blog, I have decided to blog non-stop in these coming days. It is a promise! I am Russian-whatz iz theze truzt you zpeak of?
Now before I begin let me establish one thing- Starbucks is not, I repeat, is not a cafe. There, now that it is out of the way, please do not ask me to review Starbucks "gee she is such a bitch".
We begin with my all time favorite place here in Bean town- the South End Buttery can't believe I am going to share this with you four people that might read this blog. This is a small yet chic bakery/cafe/restaurant/amazing brunch that incorporates a twist on American and English cuisine. I have been here several times now but let me tell you the story of how I initially discovered this place. It was a cold and dark evening okay it was around 17.00 and it was still bright and it wasn't so cold, my friend and I were walking around trying to find an open cafe. When I realized that most of them were closed, my friend suggested that we try a place he had previously walked by. Thus began the walk through maybe not the safest street of all time. While walking on Washington street I saw things that might of scared me for life- only in America will you see C-class and 5 series parked in the projects. Finally, after putting my life in the hands of a Peruvian's memoria, we made it to this amazing neighborhood gem.
The baked goods are amazing, the coffee is made the way it supposed to, the staff is kind do people even pay attention to that? and hearing some European languages being tossed back in forward made me feel at home.
I returned a few times after that cold and dark night schhh and the latest time my marketing group and I went there for a Sunday brunch. I am not going to lie- I thanked myself several times that I reserved a table for four because the moment I walked in and saw the herd of human beings all standing in puddles of drool waiting for their croissants at 11 am on a Sunday- I knew I was not missing out.
This place is amazing and I highly recommend it please do not come here in sweat pants and your salt covered UGGS If you want to spoil yourself on a nice Sunday morning this is the place to be Stephanie's is so 2009 and be sure to wear something nice cause people here definitely do not mind wearing some bling and fully tailored Boss/Klein suits yes you two businessmen at the bar.. it's 11 am in the morning! I am okay with you drinking at 11 am but the suit? is it necessary?
