It's a great time to be in Boston. It's early June, it's in the 90's, and the Bruins are in the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1972!
In between a week of rainy, cold weather, Wednesday, June 8, 2011 in Boston was *the perfect day*....really. After waking up in a gorgeous room at the European boutique property Beacon Hill Hotel, having a yummy breakfast in the Bistro, we headed to the Public Gardens. I was all ready for my swan boat ride in my new salmon colored sundress (yes Erik, it's not pink, it's salmon!) The Gardens were in full bloom with colors everywhere. Even the famous statue of George was adorned with a colorful Bruins jersey. Now that's a photo you likely won't see again!
After that, it was a stroll along Newbury Street--"the Rodeo Drive" of Boston. They may have cool, trendy shoppes but they certainly need some help in the Bloody Mary category. I'm not even gonna mention the place that we had the first one--it was.so.terrible.
I spoke with Chef Rich at Beacon Hill Hotel and Bistro, and he suggested we try Gargoyles, Highland Kitchen, or East Coast Grill for Bloody Mary's. I mean, how hard can it be to make them? This is my newest project...making the perfect Bloody Mary. Stay tuned....
