Friday night in Boston

Finally, after a long week of work,we were able to go out and paint the town (Boston). We went to Chinatown and had some delicious treats, and then strolled around. It was cold, so I bought a $4 hat on the street. We walked around and looked at some fancy-pants apartments and found a pedestrian mall near Tremont.



Oh yes, and we went to a "historical" site where one of Boston's previous four town halls had been turned into a Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. Also, in the garden, Laura's shadow stole a smooch from mine.....

Finally, we made it to the Hub Pub in a neighborhood called Downtown crossing. Old men with hard hats and college dames talking about playing Beirut made up most of the social atmosphere.

After some beers and a little Jameson we went around the corner to a dive called the Sidebar, which is hooked onto another bar called the Dubliner, where we had some shots of Maker's and some pretty rowdy conversation.

Finally, we wondered around to Faneuil Hall, which was like Georgetown meets Adams Morgan. Needless to say, we didn't stay there long.
LW note: It's amazing to me how a place like the Faneuil Hall area can be so cool during the day and then be filled up to the very brim with douchebags at night.
