After a lovely morning in Rockport, we headed down into downtown Boston. We parked at Lisa’s fancy hospital (MGH) and experienced some public transportation.
Apparently, everyone is supposed to visit Mike’s Pastry while they’re in Boston and we were all hungry, but not quite ready for dinner so we headed down. I’ve gotta be honest and say that the whole experience wasn’t my favorite. There’s not really a menu and it’s ridiculously crowded and it just gave me major anxiety. I ended up just ordering a cappuccino and stealing bites from everyone else.
We did things a little backwards and had dessert first. It’s vacation 🙂 We found a delicious restaurant in Little Italy where I had the most delicious mushroom risotto, but somehow this ended up being the only picture from dinner.
After dinner, we walked around downtown Boston for a bit. Soooo pretty.
By the time we got back to Lisa and David’s we were all exhausted and pretty much went straight to bed. Today was Salem…more to come on that soon! Happy New Years Eve Eve everyone!

Yeah, I heard there’s a huge debate between which is better: Mike’s or Modern 🙂

I def understand that feeling when you go to a place that’s highly recommended, but the huge crowd keeps you from enjoying it as much.
