Excellent! :tup: Really love that area of the country!
|
Nice!!! Looks like you got around. Next time you're up here make sure to find parking near Memorial Drive in Cambridge and walk that as well as the Mass Ave Bridge.

Nice pictures! I wass in Nantucket, Newport, and Providence this summer myself. I had a beer at Or, The Whale (second Nantucket picture) just because of the name.

Man, these are fantastic! Especially your Providence and Newport pics, which we rarely get to enjoy here.
Is that Providence raw bar Hemenway's? Love that place. Best spicy calamari I've ever had. |
wow beautiful work with the photos here -- what a treet!
|
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on… Ultramarine Lapis Lazuli, from Afghanistan. |
So good it hurts.
|
What a beautiful thread! So colourful!
I suppose it was a great trip. Thanks for sharing! |
Beautiful!

That was actually Persimmon, and it was absolutely incredible. I'd highly recommend it to anyone in Providence. Will definitely have to check out Hemenway's next time around. |

Thanks guys! Glad you enjoyed :cheers: |
Boston is a gorgeous city and I really cannot explain why I've never spent any real time there.

First, they smell like the sea. In French, we're used to say it smells like iodine, even though iodine has nothing to do with the smell of the sea. I don't really like that kind of smell anyway, because I'm not used to it. Second, you have to swallow them alive. And I find it weird to eat alive creatures. Third, when they're not fresh enough, they may cause you to go sick. So... It's just not my type of food at all, even though most people find it sophisticated. Otherwise, all of this is ok with me. |

And Massachusetts Bay has some of the top oyster beds in the world. You've got Galway Bay (Kelly oysters, the best raw oyster I've ever had), Bay of Biscay (Belons, which I'm sure you're familiar with!), Wingan Inlet (Sydney Rocks), Pudget Sound (Kumamotos), Long Island Sound (Bluepoints), and Massachusetts Bay / Gulf of Maine (Wellfleets and transplanted Belons from France in places like Pemaquid). Raw Duxberys and Wellfleets go for a 1200+ yen a pop in Tokyo. Atlantic (and Kumamoto) oysters are nicer for raw bars than the other native Japanese varieties, which are too big and fleshy for a pleasant raw experience. On the flip side, these Japanese native varieties make much better fried oysters - kaki furai. |

And I'd be dropping the ball if I didn't drop a Pastiche plug into every Providence thread on this forum. Best. Cannoli. On. The. East. Coast. |
FABULOUS!!!! :cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers:
To me, Boston is the most beautiful major city in the US. Newport is beyond spectacular, and Providence is AMAZING!!! I honestly don't understand the fascination with the Sunbelt. Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Charlotte, etc. all are so lame compared to these historic, Northeastern gems. |
