Chase Sapphire Lounge in BOS
This was my first opportunity to try a Chase Sapphire Lounge having not previously travelled to an airport with one of them. Lounge is located between B and C terminals which worked out perfectly since I was flying United in terminal C and Bella and Matthias were flying JetBlue in terminal C. TL;DR this is

Toro
Last dinner in Boston for this short trip. This place was conveniently located with a short walk from the hotel and seemed to be very popular and favorably mentioned online. I was able to secure an early reservation for us. Since it was a tapas place, there were a bunch of things we ordered. For

Flour Bakery + Cafe
Back here for a late lunch after having moved Bella out of her dorm. This time I had the North Country Applewood-Smoked Bacon Sandwich (i.e. BLT) with an additional poached eggs and Matthias and Bella both ordered the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich. Decent. https://www.flourbakery.com

Flour Bakery + Cafe
After arrival in Boston, Matthias and I walked to this place at the recommendation at the woman at the front desk of the hotel. It was only 10:30 or so in the morning so I was just looking for something savory and brunchy and this worked out great. I had the Breakfast Egg Sandwich with

SHŌWA Le Gourmet Tonkatsu
I hadn’t really heard about this tonkatsu place through the usual blog sites, but did hear about it through a Discord fine dining group. I had been trying to get a reservation here for a few months. It seemed impossible to get a table for 2 although for 3 or more seemed much more available.

The Caviar Co.

Marufuku Ramen
Was going to lunch with one of my ex-coworkers. We had planned to go to Niku Butcher Shop for their wagyu smash burger, but since there was a fire in Niku Steakhouse, they’ve been closed for that service (boo hoo). Our original plan was ramen in Japantown so that’s where we headed. We had been

Omakase
Andrea was out for her annual work dinner with her coworkers so instead of just staying home myself, I decided to go out for dinner. I decided on sushi and there were a couple restaurants I had been wanting to revisit, but I checked with Andrea which one she wanted to go to more between

Cotogna
This is our fourth time dining here. It’s an easy choice for casual dinner with delicious comfort food since we had intended to be downtown anyway. We had to start with some cocktails. Andrea went with the Braccialetto which was made with mezcal, citrus, and amaro. This had decent mezcal flavor to it with a
