Food

A last post of some of the places I ate.. The Townsman being my favorite restaurant
after Stir. Hopefully I'll get some sketches up this week. Off to celebrate my sisters birthday and mothers day.  The first time I went to Boston I was nearly pulled off my motorcycle outside a liquor store by bunch of guys grabbing for the case of beer in a bad part of town where I was staying at a friends loft. That part of town has been a little transformed these days and umm I probably ate better on this trip too.

Stuff

It wasn't all work in Boston tho, I managed to find the time to pick up a few things

Boston

Some random pics from around Boston. The first being the room from my hotel room overlooking the Charles River.

Stir

Another highlight was Stir (I travelled with a food and travel writer/chef).  Seating only 10 people its a small space with the chef doing demonstrations between courses in this case, being a 5 course seafood dinner, there was fish and seafood filleting going on. In very close quarters it could be uncomfortable but everyone was pretty cool and it was a lot of fun. It was so tight I didn't feel comfortable having my good camera at the table since being fairly clumsy I figured I might to some damage so I just snapped some phone photos. The food was pretty incredible with the tuna and bronzini (not pictured) being my favorite.

Boston

A highlight was seeing the Hokusai show at the Museum of Fine Arts.  Though I had to rush the the collection after I stopped at some favorites like the Sargents. Its been a number of years since I've been to the museum.

Books

and donuts( maybe the best I've had from Kane's)  and beer and chowder and sticky buns in Boston

Colonial beer breed for the Oyster House which is I believe North Americas oldest running restaurant with a lot of interesting history.
