4/13/03 - Its been a long time since
I went to Boston , The last time was with Kyle back
in Chilly Feb `98 when we stayed in this Posh hotel
that was an entire block long, I decided at 4am to
go find the 'sausage guy' cart walking around the
entire hotel and lo and behold .... Those cart guys
pack it in waaaayyy before 4am...brrrrrr.....
Anyway
came back from a pretty cool weekend in Boston. We
stayed at the best western which is right off the
highway and on the T (bostons
above/below subway) <--click for map
At
first I was kinda frustrated as I thought we were
a million miles from anything and all the streets
in Boston are so goddamned cockeyed , and up hilly
and down curvy and just basicly screwed up. I was
missing NYC in a big way, this place just makes no
freaking sense.
Well, armed with my trusty maps , I figured this
place out. We went to the Museum
of Fine Arts which was pretty cool , greek and
roman sculptures, eqyptian antiquities ,some cool
renaissance art , a lot of Monet and other impressionists.
The next day we hit the Museum
of Science in Science Park which was real cool,
spent all day there and actually only saw 1/2 the
place. You get kinda caught up in their brain buzzing
exhibits. We saw a lighting show , a what drugs really
do to you exhibit, a
virtual fish tank , mathematics exhibits that
were surprisingly interesting and numerous other OH
WOWs `
Sat night we ate at Marche`s.
What a cool restaurant. Killer food all made fresh
right in front of you. You get a ticket/bill that
they stamp as you order. You order by walking around
the market and picking out what you want for dinner.
I had Suschi , fresh caesar salad made in front of
me , and killer Chicken Stroganoff with Rosti Potatoes
(shredded buttered spiced potatoes) and strawberry
cheesecake. Check out there website as I can`t describe
how cool this place was. It was in an upscale, I can`t
afford it mall , but was reasonably priced. 3 people
$65 tax and tip inclusive and we ate GOOD !
WE didn`t take a whole lot of pictures but here they
are CLICK
