New England Travels-Beantown


You still with me on this??
Boston holds a special place in my heart.  I went to college at Emerson and enjoyed my time in this fine city.  So on my husband's first New England adventure we had to make a
major stop in Beantown. Food scene is great, weather was pretty good(I would not go in the winter!  Summer was great...Fall is the BEST) and the people are unique.  Bruins won and they caught the mobster Whitey Bulger. All when we were in town!
Perfect.

Here we go.....

BOSTON/CAMBRIDGE

Boston Food:
Anything and everything Barbara Lynch. 
You want a to hear about a successful woman in the food industry?  Look no further.
The woman is unstoppable.
We went to:  Butcher Shop, Drink, Sportello and B&G Oysters.

Also working their magic in town are Ken Oringer and Jamie Bissonnette.
We enjoyed meals at Coppa and Torro

The dinner I wish I could have eaten raw fish:
