April 2nd 2023: Spending Time in the Greater Boston Area

 This morning, we started out in Boston,

Peterborough Street Playground,
Kilmarnock Street and Peterborough Street

Plaza (Arcade),
Brookline Avenue and Boylston Street

checking out the MassArt Art Museum, which did not have much exhibits today. Not sure why there was so many reception staff at the front desk.

We next went to the newly remodelled Landmark Center. Definitely much nicer than before.

Within the Landmark Center is the Time Out Market, which is a really fancy food court.

We got several things from several places here, getting the Sea Salt Whiskey Caramel (rich caramel glaze with a subtle hint of whisky, sprinkled with sea salt) from Union Square Donuts,

A Matcha Latte from Say Coffee Co,

the Cup Of Chowder (Clams, bacon, potato) from Cusser's Roast Beef and Seafood

the KARAAGE CHICKEN and WAFFLE FRIES (Umami seasoning, miso maple syrup, scallions, side of yuzu kosho aioli) from Ms. Clucks Deluxe Chicken & Dumplings,

and the SPICY TORCHED HAMACHI* (made with crispy nori taco shells & sushi rice,

truffled jalapeño butter, scallion) and SOY BRAISED SHIITAKE & HON SHIMEJI MUSHROOMS (miso-truffle aioli, inari tofu, garlic, scallion, lemon zest) from GoGo Ya.

The donut was a little too dense for our liking, and the chowder was actually served cold at first, and nothing special overall. The chicken was really tasty though, especially with the yuzu sauce for once, and the seaweed tacos were an interesting concept that carried off well. Overall, a pretty good experience here.

From here, it was on to Cambridge to check out The Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments,

a small museum located within Harvard University.

Next, it was on to Newton, 

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

where we drove around the newly accessible Mount Ida College, currently the Mount Ida campus of UMass Amherst.

Finally, we headed to Dedham, getting drinks from Moge Tee, the newly opened bubble tea place in Legacy Place.

we got the Hawaii Bubble Milk Tea

and the Red Bean Tofu Pudding Milk Tea.

Pretty good actually, although we were a little deceived by the Hawaii name, being just the color of the bubbles rather than influencing the flavor of the tea. With that, an end to a day of spending time in the Greater Boston area.
