Sat 3/28 - Most of the day was spent walking around Chinatown and Little Italy. We ate at a Chinese place in Chinatown which was meh to me, especially since I'm a firm believer that the best Chinese food in the US is still in Los Angeles. I was able to hit up Uniqlo. Nobody else wanted to shop so we barely explored Soho. Next stop was the financial district; I can now say I've seen the World Trade Center construction, Wall St, and the NYSE. Later at night we met up with other people at Flatiron Lounge for some drinks.
Sun 3/29 - Brett and I had great plans to do a lot but I woke up not feeling well. I sent him off to buy me some Whitecastle, then we just walked around. I really wanted to goto Central Park and the MET, but this will just have to wait until our next trip. We've learned our lesson, New York does not work for large groups... it definitely is a trip we will have to go again on our own. I can't wait! =) After Brett left to go back to CT, I joined the others and went to Brooklyn to eat at Peter Luger. We went back to the city for more drinks and ended up having another late night meal before calling it a night. We ate at Blue Ribbon.. the pigeon meat was so yummy!
Mon 3/30 - Off to Boston with my brother and Grace. It was raining upon our arrival but that did not deter us from finding our way to the hotel through the subways. It was quite an adventure. We ate at Catch of the Day, I had this unbelievable homemade black pasta with ground calamari. All of us cleaned our plates! We then headed across the street to the oldest Italian coffee shop in Boston. Then we went to visit Berklee Music School. It was such a pleasant afternoon and to top it off, we walked through the entire Newbury St on the way home. After taking a late afternoon nap, we woke up and headed out to a place with award winning clam chowder. It was so delicious but we were so full that we couldn't really do anything else.
Tue 3/31 - We woke up and headed out to Cambridge and explored Harvard. It just felt refreshing to walk on the campus. I just people watched and thought that everyone there must be geniuses. We ventured out to Newbury St again for some shopping before heading our respective ways home.
I can't believe this weekend trip was only four nights, it felt so much longer, probably because I just came back from my two week California trip a couple days before this trip. I'm so happy that I have the freedom to travel whenever I want.
