Dear Marlo,

Summer has finally arrived, and we've been enjoying every minute of that glorious sunny warmth - even the awful humid bits - because we have such vivid memories of the cold that will oh too soon befall us once again. But one thing certainly no one wants to be doing in this weather is turning on the oven...and so this issue of marlo monthly shares the skinny on the perfect on-the-go snack and new late night eats to ensure that you don't have to do so any time of day or night! I'm also super excited to bring to our Boston-area friends an opportunity to learn from one of the country's most esteemed hair health experts on how to prevent hair loss by maintaining hair health - an issue for women as much as men. Read on for more.

And while we're on the topic of late night eats, not only did Mr. H just take the Best of Boston magazine award for "Best Late Night Dining," but this recent piece in The Boston Globe is worth a read, not only for the ending's SATC vibes but because the feeling of pure joy that a good night out can bring literally flows off the page.

Hope to see you later this month in Boston or MetroWest, or at the bar at Mr. H after 10 PM - I'll be the one with the Scallion Pancake Smash Burger in hand!

Meet our new can't stop, won't stop, cure for allllll the cravings snack - Fave’Wich. The sandwich you loved as a kid, leveled up for grown-up life. We’re talking soft, crust-free bread, smooth nut-free butter, and sweet, all-natural grape jelly. No freezer. No waiting. Just grab, go, and get your snack on!

Made by the bread legends at Gold Medal Bakery (over 100 years of baking brilliance, NBD), Fave’Wich marries nostalgic vibes with modern-day needs. It’s 100% nut-free, dairy-free, non-GMO, and packed with 6g of plant-based protein. Whether you’re between meetings or want an easy snack to throw in the beach bag that satisfies every age from Gen Z to Boomers, Fave’Wich hits just right.

So forget the freezer aisle, this baby lives fresh - because a good snack shouldn’t require a defrost strategy. Stock up today at grocers like Stop & Shop, Food Bazaar and more, or order online at favewich.com.



Mr. H, the Seaport’s swanky Chinese inspired spot from COJE, is turning after-hours into the night’s main event. That’s right – the lights stay low and the kitchen hot with brand-new Late Night Menu complete with decadent after-dark additions that put your standard midnight munchies to shame.

On the lineup: $2 Dumplings (by the piece, because commitment is hard), a Scallion Pancake Smash Burger stacked with swagger, Spare Rib Bao Buns, and a Night Market Steak that eats like a splurge (just $28, if you’re wondering). Not to mention, select dinner menu favorites are also in play (because sometimes you need a little Crab & Shrimp Shumai to feel something).

Service runs 10PM–12AM Mon–Thurs and 11PM–1AM Fri/Sat – perfect for your post-party pit stops, bar crawl detours, or simply ghosting your latest Hinge date. Prefer your dumplings horizontal? There’s a slick alleyway pickup window for that (just follow the neon onto Park Lane). Because the party doesn’t end at last call – it just moves to Mr. H’s house...or yours!



We all know ensuring a good hair day can be high maintenance - dryness, frizz, humidity - UGH! But have you ever thought about your actual hair health? We're not just talking split ends, we're talking scalp, strands, and everything in between. Spoiler alert: you should be.

Stress, hormones, nutrition, and age don't just mess with your mood - they mess with your mane. Enter NYC-based Shab Caspara, founder of Leona.com and certified trichologist (a.k.a. hair + scalp whisperer) who boasts clients around the globe. She'll help you get to the root of the issue in an info-packed session that will cover:

• The surprising connection between hormones & hair
• What to do now to prevent hair loss later
• Whether you can actually regrow lost hair (heads up: you CAN!)
• Scalp care 101
• The products & tools that are/aren't worth the hype

Oh, and did we mention that wine, light bites, and a swag bag brimming with hair loving goodies is also on the agenda? RSVP to one of two sessions here; your hairline - and your healthy-coiffed future self - will thank you.
