Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner and their two kids, Violet and Serafina, have been spotted around Ben's hometown of Boston recently. But Ben isn't in town visiting his old neighborhood, he's actually working on a new movie, "The Company Men", also starring Tommy Lee Jones and Kevin Costner, as workers trying to survive a workforce reduction at a large corporation.

Today, they are filming at 5 Union Park on Boston's South End. We watched Tommy Lee Jones film a scene at this location a few weeks ago. The PAs wouldn't let us get too close but it looked like his character was having his car repossessed.

We also discovered a great little bakery on the corner of Union Park and Shawmut Avenue called South End Buttery Cafe. Known for their cupcakes, they won The Improper Bostonian's Best Cupcakes Award in 2007. You can choose from three types of cupcakes for $3 each, The Madison, a vanilla cupcake with chocolate or vanilla butter cream frosting, The Harriet, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting or The Simon, a chocolate cupcake with vanilla or chocolate butter cream frosting. If you can only have one, pick the Madison.

South End Buttery Cafe also serves brunch, dinner and a selection of specialty baked goods.
