The Macedonian Grill – A Boomeresque Brigantine, New Jersey Restaurant Review

June 18, 2015 24 comments

Macedonian Grill, Brigantine, New Jersey

Alas, The Macedonian Grill Has Gone Out of Business (Update: July 22, 2018)  I hate to think that a restaurant review by Boomeresque is the kiss of death, but after 10 years, Jimmy, a/k/a Dimitrios Constantine Dounoulis, decided to change careers. However, the location is now owned by another family, this time, Mexican-American, and they have […]

Going Gypsy: One Couple's Adventure from Empty Nest to No Nest at All

It was one of my Millennial sons who suggested I try my hand at travel blogging. “Mom, you like to travel and you like to write. This would be perfect for you.” At the time, the travel blogs with which I was familiar were written by him and his 20 something peers. They were entertaining […]

Handel’s Messiah – Philadelphia Orchestra Style

Verizon Hall Stage, Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts

When our nearly thirty year old son was nine, he was accepted into the “special” choir at his elementary school. Although he was usually a child who had to be pried from his bed every morning, on choir days, he cheerfully almost cheerfully got himself up early for the before school rehearsals. In an effort to […]

Captain Phillips — A Boomeresque Movie Review

October 17, 2013 38 comments

The Maersk Alabama in Mombasa, Kenya after the piracy ordeal.

As Boomeresque readers know, the fact that I have no credentials as a film critic, has not dissuaded me from offering my two cents in the past, so here’s my take after seeing the movie Captain Phillips, starring Tom Hanks. Unless you were living on another planet in 2009, you know that Somali pirates boarded […]

Philadelphia Phriday – Parc Brasserie, A Bit of Paris on Rittenhouse Square

April 19, 2013 49 comments

Ferrari outside Parc Restaurant, Philadelphia, Rittenhouse Square

We have a First World problem at our apartment. Our refrigerator is broken. The repair guy came out, ordered a part and declared it fixed — except it wasn’t. He came back today and is ordering another part. I figure if he just keeps replacing parts, eventually, we’ll essentially have a new refrigerator; and hopefully, […]

Philadelphia (Good) Phriday — Bach’s Saint Matthew Passion at the Kimmel Center

March 29, 2013 29 comments

My beloved (Mr. Excitement) is not a huge fan of classical choral music. So, last night while he supped with some science peeps, I treated myself to a ticket for a performance of the Saint Matthew Passion by J.S. Bach performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Westminster choir and the American Boychoir, in the opening […]

Lincoln — Boomeresque’s First Movie Review

February 7, 2013 25 comments

When time and/or money are scarce, one way Baby Boomers travel is at the movies. Sometimes, it’s time travel. Generally speaking, movies are not my preferred genre for entertainment; hence, I will not be offended if you are of the opinion that I have no business writing a movie review. My poor husband, Steve, indiscriminately […]
