Dinner at Silvertone, Downtown, Bosotn.

Clam Chowder

I couldn't leave without having some New England clam chowder! This was actually too runny, but yummy nonetheless.

Summer Salad w/ goat cheese & pine nuts

We went tapas style and shared salad, calamari and our entree--very good move on our part.

It was so nice catching up with Jen! And this spot was great. I love a good bookstore, and one with a fun cafe is even better! Newbury St. is suuper cute, too.

It was harder than I thought it would be to find weekday brunch in Boston though.. I guess I'm spoiled in SF (West coast foodie heaven) and Spokane (Retired people like their weekday brunch!). :)

Korean cooking-in night at Elisha's, Chestnut Hill, Boston.

Yay! Delicious. So fun having home-cooked Korean while reuniting with friends from Korea! :)

Wraps at Mr. Bartley's, Harvard Sq, Boston.

The legendary Mr. Bartley's burger joint!!!

And, of course, I fail and get a wrap. I definitely should have gotten a burger. The wrap was fine, but I don't really like wraps. They always look good on the menu though! The mac 'n cheese was actually not very good either. Sad.
