Creating memories through travel and adventure

Yvonne’s – No.10

I must have walked past Yvonne’s almost every day for a year and not realised it was there.  Tucked away down a side alley on Winter Street in Downtown Crossing, with a sign that is not obviously lit or clearly… Continue Reading…


SRV – No.9

SRV spaghetti

SRV, which stands for Serene Republic of Venice – we’re back in the land of Italian food, and having only just visited Venice this year and thoroughly enjoyed its food, I was quite excited to taste SRV’s take on Venetian… Continue Reading…


Alden and Harlow – No.11

Alden and Harlow secret burger

Our visit to the US has ended earlier than anticipated and we are now back in the UK.  However, before we left Boston, we did manage to get down to number one (Albeit having to skip numbers 2 and 3).… Continue Reading…


Giulia – No.12

Giulia

No.13 has closed for business and so we’re off to Giulia and another taste of Italy.  I had almost given up on visiting Giulia as I had tried for a month to get a booking, but they were always full… Continue Reading…

Bisq – No.15

No.16 has closed down, so we’re moving onto No.15.  Bisq is a wine bar and small plates venue, which is our favourite style of dining as we get to sample a variety of (hopefully) delicious dishes.  We opted to sit… Continue Reading…


Bondir – No.17

Bondir - chestnut apple

No.17 – Bondir.  Small, intimate, cosy and seats about 16.  I think it’s the smallest restaurant we’ve been to in Boston so far.  We’ve hit some huge restaurants such as Grill 23 and Bar, which was very grand but lacking… Continue Reading…


Oleana – No.18

Oleana

Funny.  We had a few “yuck!” comments about the fish head picture from the last restaurant.  Please note, the comments were from non-fish eaters.  I promise, no disgusting photos on this post (although I can’t promise for future restaurants).  We’re… Continue Reading…


Bourbon, Betting and Beers – a weekend in Kentucky.

Jim Beam bourbon distillery Kentucky

We’ve all heard of Kentucky, but what’s actually there?  The Kentucky Derby, Good ol’ southern food….and bourbon.  We went for the bourbon (of course), but also discovered that Louisville in Kentucky is a bit of a hot-spot for craft beer… Continue Reading…
