Three Days in Boston

After Provincetown, we spent three days in Boston. I only had vague recollections of Boston and Fred had never been to the city, so we were both looking forward to discovering this new place for us together. We stayed at the Nine Zero hotel on 90 Tremont Street. We were just steps from Boston Commons, so this was a nice location to be staying at.

We discovered some interesting restaurants in Boston. Sunday night dinner at Masobu, a pan-asian restaurant about 10 minute walk from the hotel. Breakfasts at Dunkin Doughnuts and Finagel a Bagel. Monday lunch at the Beantown Pub, where we sampled the boneless chicken wings. Monday night dinner at Club Cafe. Lunch on Tuesday at the No Name restaurant on the fishing docks of the harbor. Dinner Tuesday night in the north end (Little Italy) at Vinoteca de Monica with Jean-François and Juan. Lunch on Wednesday in the Beacon Hill section at the Hungry I.

We took the Old Town Trolley tour. This gave us an overview of the city and where things were. We took the Freedom Trail guided tour. Our guide was very entertaining and made the history of Boston come to life with her many anecdotes.

Shopping!!! CVS, Borders, Macy's, Filene's Basement, Cambridge Crossing Mall, and the Pottery Barn. (Don't forget to take your non-US passport to Macy's and ask for the foreigner's discount!)
