First Summer of Boston Food
Well, it has been almost two whole months since my last post. I can't say I am happy about this layoff, but I have learned another thing or two about blogging.
It is difficult to maintain a personal blog on a day-to-day basis without financial, educational or other pressures.
In this case, you just have to love to write, love to eat and love to spend money. I am good at all three points, but I don't particularly enjoy number three.

Anyways, rather than be dissapointed at the two month layoff I experienced with this blog, look at it this way. Summer has not even started yet. I actually have a head start on Boston's summer food, as beach season doesn't begin until Friday June 21st, at 9:24am. And this summer will be my first as a resident of Beantown.
I have not exactly waisted my time or ignored food for two months either. I dropped one of my two boring summer classes and replaced it with "History of Boston." This course is tougher than I thought, but most of the quizzes are based on walking tours of Boston. On these tours, I have learned an incredible amount of history, but I have been paying close attention to the restaurants lining each and every area.
Here are some ideas I have for this summer. How about a trip to the older restaurant in Boston and in all of America, the Union Oyster House? I plan on checking out 28 degrees, and the Italian restaurants along Beacon Hill's Charles Street, which many say are better than the North End's best. On a nice day, I plan to check out the steak at a restaurant located on the site of the first public school in the United States. And then I will jump way ahead of time to spots like 28 Degrees, perhaps the most futuristic restaurant of all, with its maze like, mirrored bathrooms lighted only by candles and your own reflection.
In conclusion, these last months I have not spent idle. I have been looking and learning, exploring parts of Boston I had never seen before. And as stated in my first blog entry, looking and learning about Boston is exactly the purpose of this blog experiment.

I passed by Lala Rokh Restaurant, located around historical Beacon Hill at 97 Mount Vernon Street (also known as Mount Whoredom because of the sexual activities that once occured on this hill, one of the three hills of "Trimount.")
