My spouse and I visited Boston for a 2-night stay in mid-August 2010. On Friday evening, we drove from Allentown to Boston. After checking into the InterContinental, we walked to nearby Oy Ya for dinner. But without a reservation, there was over an hour wait, so we ate at Sorrisso instead. (It was a good meal, but we had no idea how famous Oy Ya would become, so it was a huge mistake not to wait for a table.) On Saturday, we did touristy things like visiting Charlestown, walking the Freedom Trail, and visiting Boston Public Garden. We ate lunch at Sweetwater Café near the Gardens. In the evening, for my birthday dinner, we dined at Menton, which was great. The next day, we changed hotels to the Seaport, because my spouse needed to set up his trade show for the next few days. We ate lunch outdoors at the Chart House, and enjoyed watching the passengers embark on the ferry to Provincetown on Cape Cod. In the evening, we decided to ditch our previous dinner plans (at L'Espalier) and instead buy tickets to see the traveling Cirque du Soleil show, Ovo. (As with the other Cirque shows we have seen - KA and O in Las Vegas), this show was amazing! Afterwards, we grabbed a bite to eat at Legal Test Kitchen (LTK). The next morning, I took an early flight home, while my spouse stayed in town for work.
