Below is a list of the top ten highlights from this weekend in no particular order.
1. Being reunited with my sweet college friends. We caught up, asked for advice, gossiped and laughed. It felt like we were all living in the same place despite all living in different cities on the East Coast.
2. Boston Marathon Finish Line- Yesterday, April 15, was the Boston Marathon! We were exploring and walking around Boston and we stumbled upon the finish line. It was so cool to see. We even got to cross the finish line of this major race.
3. Tatte Bakery- My first time at the famous Tatte Bakery was this weekend. The monkey bread and the breakfast sandwich were to die for. I wish we had one in New York, because I would definitely be a regular.
4. Trattoria Il Panino- I’ve been to this famous Italian restaurant just about every time I’ve gone to Boston. The food is divine. Highly recommend.
5. Parla- This is such a fun cocktail bar experience. It’s a tiny spot, so I highly advise getting a reservation. They have an option where you can roll a 20-sided die which will produce you with a drink off of a secret menu, with no send backs, what you roll is what you get. Caroline and I rolled the die, Emily decided to pick her drink, which was safer. I rolled a 6 and got a gin cocktail with chartreuse and cucumber. It was refreshing, even if gin is not my favorite. Caroline, on the other hand, was not so lucky. Her drink was 19. She ended up with a piece of cooked octopus and a plastic hand in her drink. Her cocktail literally smelled of BO. No joke. It was repulsive to smell, but she ended up drinking the whole thing. She was brave. Drink 19 ended up being a fennel liquor with gin. Hard pass on that one. If you go to Parla, you have been warned, try not to roll a 19.
6. Bostonian Public House- This was a really good spot for brunch. The three of us each had the breakfast tacos. This restaurant is known for their Bloody Mary bar, where you can design your own drink. I opted for the peach Bellini.
7. Boston Commons- There is nothing prettier than springtime in Boston. It was so nice out on Saturday. I’m so glad we got to see some of the flowers start to bloom in the park.
8. Bspoke- Sunday morning, we decided to be healthy and burn some calories at Bspoke, a Massachusetts chain spin studio. The 45-minute class was really fun.
9. Seaport Social- This was a great spot by the water to grab pre-dinner cocktails and watch The Masters.
10. Boots- Caroline’s kitty Boots, is so sweet and precious. I loved spending some time with her this weekend.
