Buttermilk & Bourbon
First dinner here in Boston with Matthias and Bella at one of the Krastel’s favorite places they discovered. Cuisine is Souther and Cajun. We definitely had to have the buttermilk biscuits which were delicious and were already honey glazed. They came with a couple spreads – smoked cinnamon butter and a pimento cheese with a

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

Abe & Louie’s
Plamen recommended eating here…challenge accepted! Old school steakhouse. Pre-race dinner…dirty Ketel One martini with blue cheese stuffed olives, wagyu sirloin steak (still prefer my wood-fired ribeyes at home), and Stag’s Leap Cabernet blend. Yeah, I’m gonna pay for this at the race tomorrow, but c’est la vie, carpe diem, eat, drink, and be merry, etc.

Neptune Oyster
Tasty brunch/early lunch of local oysters, a hot buttered lobster roll, and a local brew. Not too far from Paul Revere’s house, the Old North Church, Faneuil Hall. And as a bonus spitting distance from the Peet’s North End store.
