Veronica, we were in Boston on Halloween 2009 also! It was so warm and beautiful. I loved the park people in costumes, especially the kids running around Boston Common. Everyone seemed to be in a great mood, and were so friendly. I am glad you mentioned Bunker Hill. It gave me a thrill to see the view and image the battle and what those men stood for, and should be a definite stop on any tour.

An area we really enjoyed was Chinatown, by the hospital. Pho, pho everywhere, and all of it lovely. Ye Old Oyster House had great chowder, oysters, and you can ask to sit in JFK’s regular booth. It is upstairs, and you can just go look at it even if you do not want eat. We also tried the Summer Shack and Barking Crab, but were not as thrilled with them as Zooey. Had horrible service and cold food at the latter. We also went by Giancomo’s, but ended up eating at Mother Anna’s on Hanover Street. It was wonderful…as you can tell, food is important in our family!

So glad you enjoyed Boston. Good old Beantown is one of my most beloved places on the planet! Next time you’re there take the short trek out to Brookline – JFK’s old stomping ground. Just jump on the C-line T, and get off at Coolidge corner. And check out Zaftig’s on Harvard Street while your there. And then the Public House on Washington Square, Beacon Street. And then Giacomo’s in the North End. And then the Barking Crab on the waterfront. Ahhhhhh….. I love Boston too much!
