If I were ever to live in the United States, I think Boston would be one of the 3 places I could ever imagine myself living. The other two would be Seattle or New York. Maybe I’ll go to Boston to study at MIT. Wouldn’t that be awesome? I went to Boston this past May 2010 right after I finished handing in my architecture thesis, writing my final exams and as a “yay I’m done with school indefinitely!” trip. Boston was amazing as it somehow, in some way reminded me of Vancouver with its picturesque scenery, beautiful buildings, and its proximity to the sea. I know it’s completely different from Vancouver, but I guess at the time, I was missing somewhere that had a lot of greenery and the ocean. The entire city has an old world charm as New England has a mix of old brick buildings, and tall glass sky scrapers.
The city has a certain vibrance about it as there are so many hidden gems of places to see as well as amazing seafood. They have great bagels. Amazing! They’re different from Montreal bagels as these ones are fat and chewy, and they are basically very similar to New York bagels. The North End by the Big Dig site has a huge selection of Italian restaurants, and there is also this phenomenon that I only witnessed the aftermath of, a street market of some kind selling vegetables and fruit. Crazy. Home to the Boston Red Sox, close to MIT, Harvard, and littered with people living the all American Dream, this city was a beautiful place filled with history as well as redevelopment.

These are all the places and restaurants that I recommend you go to as they are the Best Of Boston restaurants, and you must go to at least a few of them. These eateries range from hole in the walls to fancy shmancy restaurants, so after my recommendations, check out their websites and other reviews to see whether you’d like to go. But really, you should go regardless...
