I am glad you found me, too – because I have now found you… our daughter just moved from Boston to Palo Alto in July. She did her Masters in OT at Tufts. She came home so often, we just got there last March. What a fantastic city. We all loved it… small, intimate – exploding with history and places to go and people to meet. Never got to Flour Bakery – wanted to – but got a tour of the Boston Food Project instead… a wonderful weekend for you – and a great trip back in my mind, for me.

So fun! I wish I’d read this earlier, I have more places to reco you should visit that probably weren’t there when you were in grad school. We spend a lot of time in Back Bay and my husband went to grad school there too (before we met). I’m sorry it was for such a sad occasion, but glad you had a nice visit.

What a cool trip. When I was in London a couple months ago I saw a Wagamama. I want to say it was on the south bank of the Thames kind of adjacent to the houses of parliament. I heard it was tasty but never had the chance to go there. Glad I ran across your page.

Megan, what a wonderful way to celebrate your friend’s life by going to to familiar places with the people he/she loved!

Not to take away from the purpose of your post but I cannot wait to try some of these places out next time we are in Boston. I love the South End & spent a wonderful afternoon there a couple months ago – hitting Flour, of course, and then wandering and taking photos. Next time hit Cotta – fantastic!!!!!

What a lovely recap of your weekend Megan. How fun to go back to your old stomping grounds. Glad you were able to enjoy and honour the memory of Jean.

Ed: you know, I’m not a huge chowder girl. So. much. cream!

Hannah, Erika and Marla: thanks so much for stopping by and for your nice comments.

El: Great recommendations. God, I had not heard of Aroa chocolates and can’t believe we were right there…next time.

Manggy: I do have friends there, but most are in teeny places or married and in teeny places (even worse). But I got a great deal on a hotel, so it worked out just fine!

I’m so glad you had a good time. It looks like you had a chance to revisit your old stomping grounds and remember the old days. There’s a couple of places I would recommend on your return. One is Aroa chocolates- it’s a few doors down from Flour in the S. End. It’s about 1 year old and they bring outstanding hot chocolate to you in your own chocolate pot. The second is Lala Rokh on Mt. Vernon Street. It’s fine Persian cuisine and it’s consistently good. Glad you had a good trip. Welcome home!

Oh, Boston is so close to NYC….I’ve been wanting to visit for such a long time!

ps: I had no idea Wagamama existed outside of London. Good to know!
