Day 2 of our adventures in Boston started at the Massachusetts State House where we had a great view of Boston Common while enjoying our coffees. From there, we walked down the street to the historic and charming neighborhood of Beacon Hill, where rowhouses, gas street lamps, shady trees and brick sidewalks are commonplace in the area.
Decorations on entrances to homes in the Beacon Hill neighborhood...
Na hanging out and staying warm in an apartment doorway while I was taking pictures and some birds eating away on a feeder on Charles Street.
And of course, we gotta eat...brunch at Beacon Hill Hotel & Bistro!
Because dinner was so good in the North End on the previous night, we decided to head back to the same area on our 2nd night. Off the main street and in a very tight one way street is Nepture Oyster. Although the place was small and the wait was long, we had another delicious meal in the North End. We're starting to think that EVERYTHING is good in this area!
And then there's desserts... We've been told from locals that for cannoli's, it's either Mike's Pastry or Modern Pastry. Being that we love desserts and it might be awhile before we're back in Boston...we got cannoli's from both places! Oh and not just one cannoli, but two from each location AND other sweets!
Can you say sugar HIGH??? Anyways, as you can tell, I couldn't really wait to eat a few of them before taking pictures...oh well.
