My husband and I decided to try one of the newest restaurants that just opened up in Worcester. The Plaza Azteca is a new franchise offering all types of Mexican food, which we have come to love!As we entered the front door, we were greeted with a Mariachi Band definitely fitting right in to the indoor atmosphere. We were then seated in the dining area near the bar and served nachoes almost immediately. The nachoes came with both a ranch dip and salsa dip, both were yummy and kept us satisfied until our waitress, Maria arrived. We ordered Margueritas with Vegetable Fajitas and Bean Enchiladas. There was a great selection on the menu and prices seemed quite reasonable. For more information about Plaza Azteca, you can visit www.plazaaztecanewengland.com. We'd definitely go back! Have any...

365 things to do in Worcester County - Get  a mammogram screening.  Well, it just so happens that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and I am due for my yearly mammogram appointment.  This circumstance inspired me to write a blog about the importance of early detection.   Many of us have been touched by someone in our lives being touched by the big C.  My mother was diagnosed with breast Cancer when she was only 45 years old.  She is cancer free now and I am thrilled to have her in my life.  Of course, having to go through this experience made me extra cautious.  I have been having screaning since I was in my thirties, I even went as far  as having gene testing done.  I'm happy to say that I don't have a gene for hereditary predisposition.  Unfortunately, this does not mean that I...

My husband and I went to high school with the owner of Nick's Bar and Restaurant on 124 Millbury Street, Worcester. Nick's is a German-themed bar with local musicians almost every night of the week. Tonight, they are celebrating their 4th anniversary celebration at 7:00 p.m. One of our favorite musicians we like to hear is Niki Luparelli, Dan Burke and the Speakeasy Combo. They bring in a crowd usually on Friday nights and it's definitely fun-filled entertainment. For their schedule of performances, visit www.nicksworcester.com. Here's just one of the songs Niki and her band perform. ENJOY!

365 things to do in Worcester county - Walk the walk.  Well, this Sunday, October 3, 2010, I did what I set out to do.  I raised $145.00 which is $45.00 over my goal and I walked 5 kilometers to show my support.  Since, I already walked over 2 miles that morning, I certainly felt the 3.5 miles which took us up and down hills in Worcester neighborhoods. There were litterally hundreds of people at the Worcester State College.  Every team had a different t-shirt and ours was wall street walkers.  Fred Schuster who is the team leader talked briefely with me on our walk.  He is generously adding .25 on the dollar to the team's donations. 365 things to do in Worcester county - Walk the walk. is definitely a worthwhile cause and I am seriously considering repeating next year!

WOW! My husband and I just came home from an AWESOME dinner at Joey's Bar and Grill on 242 Mill Street, Worcester. After driving to two other favorite restaurants that we regularly go to, we decided to try Joey's Bar and Grill. Joey's is located on Coe's Pond and serves both lunch and dinner specials. We arrived alittle after 6 this evening to a big crowd and a few empty seats at the bar, so we grabbed them. We started off with a couple of drinks and then had an asparagus and prosciutto appetizer which was really yummy. Then we split Joey's Favorite Salad special and it was generously portioned. My husband had a wasabi glazed haddock and I had a fire grilled salmon. Both dishes were delicious! To end such a yummy dinner, we split a warm apple crisp with vanilla ice cream to start off t...
