A great time in Boston!

Just got back from Boston a few days ago and I really enjoyed the trip. It was both a business trip (summit) and a vacation. While there I attended a game at Fenway Park and saw what a real baseball team and an engaged crowd are like. The Rangers just don't compare. We also drove down to NYC to attend a Yankee's game in the new Yankee Stadium. It was fun as well but I enjoyed Fenway more I think.

Did I mention I hate baseball? I do. But, still there are certain things in life you have to see whether you are into it or not. As a friend mentioned on FaceBook, "Fenway is on the Bucket list". Check that.

I would move to Boston, if I had the opportunity. The homes in Cambridge were unique and not the McMansions you see everywhere nowadays. It seemed to me like most people drove crappy cars just because you have to parallel park everywhere and you probably are going to end up getting dinged. If you live in Cambridge, you can bike/walk to many restaurants and bars. We took the subway system to Fenway Park and it cost only a few bucks. We ate Peruvian at Micchu Picchu one night. We had Persian for lunch one day. We also had pizza at Cambridge One and my favorite was the lobster at Legal Sea Foods.

While in NYC we ate dinner at Morimoto's Restaurant. While the food was alright, it was overpriced for no reason other than the owner is a celebrity and it's NYC. The hostess routinely came by and folded napkins of those in our party who had left the table. They couldn't split the $1100 check. They also charged us $5 just for a bowl of rice.
