I had 3.5 hours in Boston that was not in the previous plan so sadly I didnt bring my "places I want to eat notes"....
I had yet to try Todd English's Kingfish Hall, and it was close to the train station so I started there. Damn awesome "Fat Belly Clams" and a glass of Gruner, followed by a dish of melon in a sweet, spicy curry soup, on top was placed crab, herbs like cilantro, mint, basil and toasted coconut!! Super with a German Riesling, great summer dish.
Next stop was the North End, I had never been (not to see Paul Revere's house nor the birthplace of my Grandma in 1901) so I wandered all over, its so much more beatiful than NYC and smells better also. Lines at every restaurant, and they had no bars, so no seats for me. Next I stumbled on a Patron Saint festival, very cool, music, people pining dollars on it. After an amaro and a biera, I went to the most poshed up place (with a nice menu, whom were turning people away) and asked if they had a bar for a single person, "No but we have a wierd table no one wants" (it was the worst table but fine for me) I ordered fresh fava beans and pecorino, that came poshed up in a cone of fried parma cheese, than crab cannelloni with corn, onion, cream sauce etc. Both very good, I would not go back cause I would try some other small place, but Mamma Maria was nice to me...
Last stop Chinatown for dessert, a Tsing Tao.
