Great city. Whistler is nuts.

I thought mikes Boston cream was better than Bova’s but Bova’s was really good and seemed to be the local fav. Not sure who had my favorite chowda. All are different, little sad I didn’t bother with union oyster house...next time. I could eat lobster rolls forever. I’d like to move here for at least a year or retire in NE.

The whole NE is great. I highly recommend a Vermont-New Hampshire-Maine driving vacation.

Crockpot appetizers???? Are you shitting me? To subject the mighty crockpot to the depravity of appetizers is..is....is, I have no words.

You know what's a good crockpot appetizer? Beef fucking stew.

Pretty fun city. Head back home tomorrow. So many good places to eat and drink. Very walkable city, not even that big if you compare it to some other places. Not really worth renting a car if you are staying in the downtown area. Tough to find parking and a lot of drivers are idiots. Going to try to head out and get a tour of Fenway today, probably check out a bar or two out that way. Dinner and a Broadway show tonight.

Traveling Broadway show but I’m sure you knew that.

Definitely check out the Salty Pig, Tip Tap Room, or Citizen Public House if you are in the Fenway area today.

I'm not a huge fan of Boylston St., but Citizen Public House is definitely a good spot there for food and cocktails (their tap list mundane).

Salty Pig and Tip Tap Room are a little farther away but are also more interesting in my opinion.

Tip Tap Room currently has some nice selections on tap, including a nice IPA by Finback (one of the best NY breweries), a couple good IPA/PA selections from Interboro (another very good NYC brewery), an intriguing Rye IPA by Exhibit A, an underrated Boston brewery, and several other very good tap and bottle options by Prairie and Funky Buddha. Worth a stop for sure if your schedule allows.

Loved it. I want to move there.

Best quotes we heard...a woman walking out of the Boston Harbor Hotel says "Kennebunkport! my kids are at cah-mp in Maine for the sum-hah" in a great English accent. And sitting by Faneuil Hall this guy says ," My friend Pee-tah, belided me he nose a lauhat. And our uber driver tawked about fenway pah hawk.

So much history, loved it. Amazing times, had to be amazing people. Wish I coulda seen more. I think I had 11 lobster rolls in 5 days. :lol:

No you don't. Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire would be much better choices.

Nice place to visit, had a nice time but it’s scratched off the list. Very expensive that is for sure. At this point no need to come back anytime soon but would be a fun weekend trip with friends or something if the opportunity came up. In my opinion probably the best looking people I’ve ever seen on average in a large city. Very few fat people. Everyone seems to be jogging or riding a bike. I found that impressive. Much different than at home.

Be careful. She got mad at me for suggesting she visit those states.

Not all that different.

Chicago has a lot of good-looking pussy. I only see fatties in the suburbs.

And Chicago is a bike riding and fitness city.

Of course, we copied all that shit from the east coast. After all, it's the people that come from east coast and europe that like Chicago.

Back to Boston, highest educated city in USA. 50+ colleges or some shit. So yea, buncha smart-ass people and shit. Bike-ridin', fitness, etc. Kinda what I dont like about it. Seems too narrow-minded for me. I believe in sprinkling in a little mischief to things.
