Our virtual and in-person dumpling workshops are a unique way to bring your team together, whether you're celebrating a product launch or searching for a novel team-building activity. Continue reading to learn more about our in-person, virtual, and instruction-only options. We are a farm-focused, woman-owned dumpling company that seeks to be a good company in all ways. That's why we carefully select our components and prioritize our community in everything we do. Chef Irene Li and her two older siblings started Mei Mei as a food truck in 2012. Mei Mei food is a reflection of the Li siblings' best childhood dining memories as Chinese-American youngsters growing up in Boston. "Mei Mei" means "little sister" in Mandarin Chinese. Mei Mei's unique dumpling combinations reflect our passion for wonderful New England ingredients and a desire to create delicious dishes. We work with small, independent family farms in the Northeast to acquire pasture-raised meat. Throughout the year, we may get 70 percent of our food from the Northeast. Mei Mei has been a "Open Book" firm since 2018, which means they disclose all financial information with all employees, empowering them to think and act like managers regardless of their position or title. The business has altered since the pandemic. Our food truck has been taken off the road, and our restaurant dining room has been closed. But Mei Mei isn't going anywhere; in fact, our dumplings are making their way all over the world! Mei Mei dumplings are now available at farmers' markets in Wayland, Natick, Melrose, Roslindale, Belmont, Cambridge, Somerville, and elsewhere in the Greater Boston area.

We would like to invite you to join us in hosting it. The Hourly Oyster House can accommodate groups of all sizes for cocktail parties, reunions, corporate recruiting events, and other gatherings, and can satisfy a variety of budgetary requirements. An inviting neighborhood outpost in the heart of Harvard Square, The Hourly Oyster House serves thoughtfully sourced and playful prepared seafood and oysters from New England and beyond. The bar offers an extensive selection of signature cocktails, beer and wine as well as a carefully curated selection of craft beers and wines. Dunster Street, which was originally known as Water Street in Colonial times because of its proximity to the old banks of the Charles River, was once the meeting point for the horse-drawn wagons, known as "Hourlies," that left Cambridge each day – on the hour – for Boston. Dunster Street is now a residential neighborhood. This line, which was founded in 1826, was one of the first high-frequency transportation routes in North America and was one of the first in the world. The construction of the Harvard Square subway station marked not only a significant development in transportation, but it also laid the groundwork for future connections, collaboration and innovation between Harvard Square and Boston, and ultimately, the rest of the world. The history of the structure at 15 Dunster Street is just as rich and complex. The exact footprint on which The Hourly stands is believed to be the location where the first Freeman's Oath was printed in 1639. It is also the site of the original Second Cambridge Savings Bank building, as well as Herrell's, which has been a Harvard Square institution for 27 years and is a Harvard Square institution. When it comes to the Hourly, it pays homage to the square's colorful heritage while while providing a contemporary atmosphere and experience.

We discussed the possibility of changing one of our three pillars, "Food," to "Cooking" in a meeting with our graphic designer. The goal was to make a more aesthetically and auditorily unified term, but this proposed adjustment couldn't reflect the core and scope of "Food" Because our concept extends much beyond cooking. "Food" encapsulates the warmth, humor, and love shared with family and friends over a meal. When you take the first mouthful of a new dish or ingredient, you get a flutter of excitement in your stomach. Food is the medium through which we share tales and cultivate new friendships. The richness and flavor that we feel through sensory explosion is due to the farmer who devotes his or her days and nights to tending to crops and cattle. The scientist is the one who comes up with new strategies to keep agricultural practices sustainable and impactful. The mother and father are the ones who work numerous jobs to provide a dinner for their family. To put it another way, "food" is more than just something we eat. So, what exactly is PAGU? There are intangible qualities of PAGU that, like "Food," cannot be expressed eloquently or accurately in words. It's not just a restaurant. It's more than a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. PAGU, like our playful and tenacious pug buddy Phoebe, is a dynamic and transforming spirit that encourages our friends and guests to live life to the fullest, both literally and metaphorically. We want to celebrate family, friends, innovation, and creativity, among other things, via food and service. We challenge ourselves to make feel-good homey food that talks to the body and spirit, inspired by our local excursions and trips across the world — something that consistently called to us no matter where we were, regardless of the cuisine. PAGU will work with you to arrange every detail of your rehearsal dinner, wedding reception, or ceremony, from the cuisine to the cocktails, space design, hotel accommodations, and everything in between.

A celebration at the Codman Estate Carriage House is a wonderful way to commemorate a wedding, corporate gathering, or other special occasion. The Codman Estate, nestled in an expansive landscape of gardens, lawns, and meadows, provides a unique country setting just twenty miles from downtown Boston while remaining close to the city. The Codman Estate Carriage House has been completely renovated and is now available for private parties and other events. This venue, with its rich wood paneling and rustic ambiance, offers a casually elegant and reasonably priced option for your wedding reception. The Italian Garden is a particular highlight of the landscape. Featuring a marble-columned pergola covered in flowering vines, this surprisingly formal secret garden is an ideal location for wedding ceremonies and receptions. In the garden, guests can relax by a reflecting pool that is surrounded by flowers, classical urns, and statues. A beautiful but less formal setting for photographs can be found in an English country garden, which was originally designed and maintained by Dorothy Codman. Your rental includes the use of the Carriage House, gardens, and grounds, as well as the freedom to create your own event from the ground up. Tables should be decorated with fresh flowers and fine linens for a formal wedding. For a summer barbecue, use checkered tablecloths and a volleyball net to create a festive atmosphere. In the grand Meadow, you can entertain your guests with lawn games, cocktails, and passed hors d'oeuvres. Dance until the wee hours of the morning. In addition to hosting corporate meetings and business events such as parties, client entertainment, wine tastings, and awards dinners, the Codman Estate also serves as a beautiful and relaxing setting for weddings. Having a clambake or barbecue on the lawn while playing games or listening to music is a popular warm-weather activity. Our experienced events staff will assist you in selecting a caterer and will be available to you throughout the entire planning process.
