Wolfgang Puck Gourmet Express, Logan Airport, Boston MA USA

6.5 hour flight from Boston to San Jose on JetBlue and the only food they serve is snacks. That felt a bit criminal in my opinion, and I was glad I found this out before the flight. As a result, I was tasked with finding an appropriate meal that I could eat 3 hours into […]

I suppose it wasn’t just the contrast to the manufacturing hub I was previously in, but rather thanks to The Huntley’s emphasis on making me feel like I was in for a high-touch experience. I […]
