    Can't believe I forgot to recommend Christina's ice cream in Cambridge. Soooo good.

    I live on the other side of the river and hopefully you can pop over to Harvard Square. If you really want to mix in a nice calorie burn, you can walk from Boston, which would give you an excuse to cross over the Mass Ave bridge which offers some great views of the city.

    I'm a big fan of Flour bakery if you're looking for a simple enough breakfast or sandwich later in the day.

    Legal is fine, sort of a standard but if you're on the new waterfront area, I prefer Row 34.

    Elephant Walk is a favorite of mine as well, that's sort of near Fenway. It's a French-Cambodian fusion, reasonably priced.

    Toscanini's in Cambridge has the best ice cream. The others, like JP Licks, are still very very good though. Boston takes ice cream very seriously.

    It's fundamentally a walking city so bring comfy shoes. Hopefully you're not renting a car.

    Another market you may want to check out is the Boston Public Market. It's a full-time dedicated farmer's market, not just for Sundays like Sowa.

    I've been to Elephant Walk! I forgot the name of it but as soon as you said French Cambodian I knew that was it!

    Mike's is where the tourists go, Modern is where the locals go. Modern.

    So... We need an update!

    How was it? Where did you go? What did you do? Where did you eat?

    Newbury street to walk around. There's a little off the beaten path Mexican place in an alley called Casa Romero. Good Mexican food. There are lots of shops and restaurants to cruise around down there. JP Licks for ice cream.

    Food network had a place on called Yankee trader lobster company. They spotlighted the cod cakes and lobster Mac and cheese. I like to check out a food network place when I'm in a city. I have not been but it's on my list too.

    For upscale steak places. Mortons, Capital Grill, Abe and Louie's, Ruth's Chris. My moms favorite is Mortons, goes every year for her birthday, I liked Ruth's Chris the best. Depending where you love you may have some of these near you.

    There's an open market in the summer called Sowa. They have food trucks, farmers market, and and arts and crafts shopping area. Kind of fun. Only in Sunday's 10-4

    Tico has a fun brunch on Saturday with live music. We had a cousins reunion there last summer and everyone loved it.

    You could check out the new waterfront area. They have redone it in the past 5 years or so. Shops, restaurants, etc.

    You have done the few biggies in Boston. You could check out the swan boats, the aquarium, the garden museum. Which I think you can walk to from Ticos.

    I might have had more before. I forget. I'm so mad right now that it disappeared.

    +1 on Yankee Lobster Co. I've been there a couple of times and the food's been very good. I particularly like the chowder and went out of my way to get it the last time I was at a conference there. Just prepare for it to be a bare-bones establishment :)

    Oh, and Flour bakery. Don't bother with the brownie (it's much-touted but frankly not all that). Get the sandwiches. I didn't try any other pastries, so those may have been all they were cracked up to be.
