Visiting Boston, Day Two

Day Two, 8/22: Quite unfortunate for our brunch hunt, we walked to a panini shop which for no reason was not open that day. Then we quickly walked to the second choice on the list and only to find that it was no longer there and perhaps was replaced by Starbucks. We only can manage to survive and feed ourselves with some take-out food from Quincy market (chicken shawarma and beef with rice) only because it was just so close.

Geoffrey took off to the conference and I took T to explore downtown Boston. It was nice and warm. Glad that I had my hat with me. I walked around Public Garden and Boston Common and visited the old Trinity church (under reconstruction) and Copley square nearby. I also wondered into Chinatown and ran into a chinese supermarket behind an unlikely small door (entrance) where I picked up a couple of oranges for snack. Also, I went by a pastry shop and picked up a couple of buns for Geoffrey just in case he needed something for breakfast in early morning.
Seared Tuna Salad and Chicken Wings.
One order of yummy sandwich split in two plates.


We met at hotel before dinner and took T to Parish cafe for some decent dinner. Most people enjoyed outdoor dining, but we preferred to sit inside and enjoy warm food. We shared an entree salad (seared tuna on top of greens, tomato, cucumber, olive, boiled egg), Reggae wing, and Viera sandwich (flank steak sandwich). Geoffrey had a bottle of rye lager with the food. Sound like regular pub/cafe food but the seasoning was pretty good. Love the jerky chicken wings and steak sandwich served on french baguette. The menu offered a variety of creation on sandwiches by local chefs.
