On Friday we skipped the Black Friday madness and instead meet up with my good friend, and Boston native, Sheila for a tour around this great city. We started in the Garden, headed over to the Commons, took in the Freedom Trail, perused Quincey Market and Haymarket, and ended up in the North End for an authentic Italian dinner.
The Celtics were in town so we headed to the Garden to see if there were seats, but only singles were available.
But...this turned out to be a good thing as our dinner will go down in infamy. Sheila has 4 favorites in the North End...she said the most authentic was
Massimino's and she could not have been more correct. The host, Sal, took an interest in our group - a 40yr old, loud Italian - and made the evening more than memorable.
It included free glasses of wine for Melissa and later Matt, as well as free dessert for the table. Not only that, he also walked us to the famous Modern Bakery (with a stop at his mom's house who was thankfully not home). Quite a night!
On Saturday the road warriors headed out early while Mer and I slept in and enjoyed a lazy morning. Later we met up with Steven for an afternoon at the Museum of Fine Arts and a delicious lunch at
Flour Bakery.
Now back to Lake Geneva for Sunday Thanksgiving with my family :-)
