re: Going to the Astros Game Series in Mexico City
Posted by AbitaFan08 on 4/24/24 at 10:14 am
I was just in Mexico City this past weekend, stayed in Roma Norte. It’s a great neighborhood.
Get dinner at Rosetta one night, and get pastries at their pastry shop one morning as well.
Highly recommend Quintonil if you can get a reservation. Pujol as well. Also grab drinks at Licorería Limant...

[quote]I looked that bottle up and it is from a legit artisanal mezcalero. Did you find that in Boston? I'll be up there this summer and wouldn't mind trying it. [/quote]
We are (well, we were. Just left) at the mezcalero/owner’s home in Oaxaca....

re: Honeymoon - Italy
Posted by AbitaFan08 on 4/21/24 at 11:12 am
I wouldn’t spend too much time in the larger, more touristy areas (Rome, Florence, CT) personally.
My favorite part of Italy (that I’ve been to) is Emilia Romagna and Piedmont....

I’m currently on vacation but will come back to this thread when I get home and give some suggestions.
My initial thought when I read your post was “where the hell is Copp’s Hill?” I had to google it to realize it’s the cemetery in the Common. Walked by it a thousand times but never knew the name...

re: 11 years ago today, Boston looked like this
Posted by AbitaFan08 on 4/19/24 at 7:37 am
That was a crazy day. I flew into Boston looking at apartments to move there.
Because the city was locked down, they made us go straight from our gate to a cab, and the cabs could only bring us to our hotel. Once we got to the hotel they had security checking IDs to ensure you actually had a rese...

Just giving you a hard time. :cheers:
I don’t live in BR and haven’t for 10 years so it’s been a really long time, but I had heard after Gino and Lawrence’s mother passed and was no longer in the kitchen things had started to slip.
Glad to hear that’s not the case. ...

I had heard Gino’s was going downhill, which was disappointing because I grew up loving that place. Glad to hear the rumors aren’t true!...
