The North End

We are heading home today and after a few days break from the computer and I am feeling super rested!  (Not to mention I managed to squeeze in an oxygen facial from Bliss! By far the most blissful spa experience ever!) My favorite spot in Boston was the North End. We went to this amazing restaurant called Panza. Not only was it authentic Italian but it was quite possibly the best meal I have ever eaten.

I managed to pack my computer cord in my luggage which is somewhere between here and Ohio right now so I have limited pictures to show,  but check out their website…http://panzarestaurant.com/. The first picture on the left is the Butternut Squash tortellini. It tasted like apple pie. The dish had cinnamon, sugar and nutmeg sprinkled on top. Heaven.

The best part of the meal was it was reasonably priced. For two dinners, a bottle of wine and a salad, our dinner was under $60 bucks for two.

I have to say if I lived in the North End I would have to RUN all the time because the Italian fare there is amazing! Thank goodness before dinner we walked all day sightseeing! Lots of history and cool parks. This is of the pond in the Boston Common.

Of course I am still dreaming about my tortellini experience! What are you favorite places to visit in Boston? I need a recipe for butternut squash tortellini!

At least that is what the marketing slogan is here at the W in Boston… and I have to say it is! We arrived last night before the hurricane and just got acquainted with the area. The hurricane is just about to hit so after a morning of walking on the Freedom Trail and lunch at Cheers, we are in for the afternoon.

If you love modern and all that goes with it, you will love this hotel. Everything here is so convenient, you forget that you are traveling!

I am sitting in this super cool business area on the M level blogging and I have the whole floor to myself. I guess that is what happens when a hurricane hits!

The hotel also has all these cool amenities (of course for a price), but they are cool to look at! My favorite is the welcome package in your hotel room.

It included Pop Chips, granola bars, gummy bears and my favorite, candy from Dylan’s Candy Bar in NYC.  I may break down and buy the lollipop just for a fun souvenir! The one freebie we got was a chocolate bar left for us with a welcome note. The chocolate bar was milk chocolate with carmel and piece of broken potato chips. YUM! Thank goodness it was small. I would have eaten more of this!

Everything here is just a little over the top which is why I love it! :) Especially since we are stuck inside for th erest of the day. I am off to find the gym and get a good workout in.

Whats your favorite home away from home? I think this one is a winner in my book!
