BEANTOWN

Drove straight from Philly to Boston.


Well, actually, we took a minor detour and stopped in at the Mohegan Sun out in Connecticut.


Nice place. They have a 24-hour Krispy Kreme. Ruchir and I played craps for awhile with a French guy who looked just like Kevin Durant.


Anyway, onward to Boston.


Brunch at The Breakfast Club in Cambridge. Yelp was all about this place - it was alright but nothing to really to go crazy for.


Went over to Harvard and walked around the campus a bit. There were a lot of tourists and also a lot of stuck up Ivy League kids with chips on their shoulder. I wish I'd been wearing my Cal State Long Beach shirt - I'm sure people would've stared at me like I was handicap.


Harvard Library.


Stumbled upon J.P. Licks. Delicious homemade ice cream in some unique flavors. This place was Ruchir's favorite part of the trip.


Boston Common.


Banksy.


Dinner at Joe's on Newbury. Nice place. Very well designed. Not too expensive. When we were in these cities for just a few hours, sometimes we used Yelp or asked strangers for recommendations to find a decent place to eat. But in this case we just looked for the busiest restaurant in the neighborhood and that strategy worked out fine.




Crashed at a hotel in Mystic, CT. Lakers/Thunder game went down to the wire so we streamed it via P2P4U.net. Technology (mixed in this case with a bit of piracy) is amazing.
