MET Back Bay, Boston, MA USA

Lunch with Bryan – that sounded like a great idea. I was trying to think of a creative spot, but when Bryan asked if I wanted to try the MET Back Bay, I immediately said yes, thinking: “I enjoy the MET in Chestnut Hill; I have yet to try the newer MET Back Bay, let’s […]

The Parish Cafe and Bar, Boston, MA USA

Who would have thought bourbon distilleries would be so interesting? Well, probably a lot of people, but either way, I had no idea what “bourbon tasting” or the Kentucky Bourbon Trail had in store for us. I had been to many wineries where you stand in front of 5 different glasses and sip each, and […]
