July 30th 2023: Brunch in Boston, Playground in Cambridge, Burgers in Northborough

 Today, while in Boston,

North Station Drawbridge
we decided to have brunch at the new Charlestown location of Tatte Bakery and Cafe


getting the LAMB MEATBALL Shakshuka (Tomato and bell pepper sauce, eggs*, lamb meatballs, and peppadew peppers, topped with spicy labneh and parsley. Served with housemade challah)

the Halva Sesame Tea Cake, Orange Juice and Apricot Danish.


The shakshuka was pretty good, especially the sweet peppers, although the cakes were just alright in my opinion.

From here, we headed to Cambridge

Education First Headquarters
to North Point Park, which has changed a lot since the last time I was here.





Our last stop for the day was Mooyah in Northborough to use up some coupons we got recently, getting the Reese's PB Cups Shake

the Little Burger for the little one
and the Campfire Burger (Single Certified Angus Beef,® Housemade Potato Chips, Cheddar Cheese, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Grilled Onions, Hickory Smoke Campfire Sauce, Signature Potato Bun).
Sinfully oily and sweet in our opinion.
