wedding, bday, and more boston eats (day 2)

cheers to the cute happy couple! :) It was a little bittersweet seeing one of our last college friends getting married. It harder now to get together with everyone being all busy and grown up. Luckily with this group of friends I'm confident we'll find excuses to meet up somehow.

Before the wedding, we picked a random direction and went looking for food. After walking through mostly retail shops, we finally found a pizza shop. I guess it was meant to be cuz the place was all decorated just for Tina who had to share her day with the bride and groom.

Happy Birthday!

Bostone Pizza: Spinach and buffalo Sicilian slices

Haven't had a Siilian pizza in so long. Thick but not overly bready with a nice crispy crust. I liked the spinach more than the buffalo.

After the wedding we were exhausted but not ready to call it a night, so chinese food here we come. Boston Chinatown after midnight = ghetto. tons of bums and hoodlums everywhere. Never have I been to a restaurant where there are multiple armed cops walking back and forth patrolling the dining hall. The patrons for the most part looked like gangsters or hookers. haha that was a fun experience. And I was happy with all the food even though what we all really wanted was sleep.

See you next time Boston!

blah blah Boston (day 1)

To me going to Boston is like going to a bridal shower. It's not like bridal showers are that much fun, you just go for the bride. The 3 times I’ve been to Boston, it was to check out a college with my sister, visit a friend at BU, and this past time for a good friend’s wedding.

Growing up in ny, I’ve seen my share of angry, but Boston takes the cake when it comes to down right rude. And I’m not just talking about their fans. In our short weekend there my friend got pushed into a stroller by a homeless lady, I got yelled in a crowded store for picking up something that someone else dropped, among other outburst of rage from random drivers. Well despite their ppl and awful accent, I enjoyed Boston this time around and especially liked seeing all my college friends again.

The bride and groom brought us here for rehearsal brunch. Honestly I was so tired from waking up for our 6am flight, I can't remember the details about the food, but I don't believe I had any complaints.

After brunch and some rest at the hotel we decided to explore Boston a bit. We followed the red brick road along the freedom trail and I visited Quincy Market for the first time. I'm a sucker for markets and fairs so +1 for Boston.

Ice cream break!

Quincy's Place: Pistachio Ice Cream

Pistachio ice cream always reminds me of my cousin mikey. We used to walk to carvel all the time and I never understood why he never got any other flavor, ever. haha these days i'm quite fond of pistachio. Ice cream here was good, but too many pistachios for me. I know it doesn't look like it from the picture but there was a lot!

For lunch we got to choose from an overwhelming selection in the indoor market. After some samples we landed at Boston Chowder.

Boston Chowda Co: lobster roll & cream of corn soup

mmm mmm good! big chunky lobster pieces on a sweet roll. A little more mayo than I prefer but I was able to overlook that.

On our way home we were too tired for walking. Look! The platform is flush to the rails. I was very amused.
