A Night Out in the North End

Boston, MA- Historic North End 

2021 Spring Semester 

A Quick Bite to Eat in the North End with my Lovely Mom

'La Famiglia Giorgios' 

What is a better way to end your '48 hour' excursion home than to make a trip into the city for dinner? ...I would say nothing! The North End is located in Boston and has a variety of restaurants to choose from when craving a nice Italian dinner... yummm! I actually work in the North End, in the summer, at a scrumptious restaurant called 'Bricco'... check them out: https://bricco.com !! They're a solid 10/10 in my opinion. Everyone raves about them. But tonight my dad was with work and my two sisters were obviously at college, so it was just my mom and I. We wanted to go somewhere we had never been before... we found the most wonderful place ever- "La Famiglia Giorgio's." It was to DIE for! 

If you're ever in Boston give them a ring and secure a spot! https://www.lafamigliagiorgios.com

The menu from outside. 

We got a charcuterie board for an appetizer- it was lovely. The cheeses alongside the prosciutto combined with the jam was so tasty that we had to order one to go just to bring home.

For dinner I got the meal that was called 'Little Al's Favorite.' What was in my dish was cut up chicken cutlet, broccoli tossed in a pink vodka sauce with homemade gnocchi. My mom got the 'Veal Parmigiana Combo.' This dish consisted of veal and eggplant lightly breaded and fried, melted mozzarella and Mariana sauce. Boy of boy were our meals good. We could barely even finish half- the portions are HUUGE! But even just writing this I can taste the food steaming in my mouth. This is a must-have!!

After we were all though with out meals my mom and I walked around and then hopped in the car and went on our way. I am beyond glad I got to experience this restaurant, especially with my mom. I have missed her a ton.

Sunday Funday or Easter Sunday?

Image
Nanny's House- Winthrop, MA Spring Semester, 2021 Easter Sunday, Pandemic Style, turns into Sunday Funday... This is my families first "normal" Easter in four years.  Three years ago, 2018, Easter Sunday was tough. My grandmother, dads mom, passed away. She was diagnosed with stage four cancer a month prior, and it was just getting worse. We knew her time was near, but Easter Sunday approached and the family as a whole went to the hospital said happy Easter talked to her for a little while (even though she was unresponsive) and when we left my dad got the call.  We made it back to my other grandmothers house and right when we were sitting down for dinner, that's when my dad got the call and went on his way to the hospital with his other siblings. As sad as we were, she went out on a holiday that she loved after feeling the warmth of her family around her that morning.  A Family Photo. Two years ago, 2019, Easter Sunday my sister fell down the stairs and sprained her ...

A Quick Trip Home- All For a Haircut...?

Image
Boston, MA 2021 Spring Semester A 6 hour drive home on a Sunday, all so I could get my hair done... The final result.  Let me ask a few questions: do you love getting your hair done? Do you love the way it smells afterwards? Do you love the way it feels when your hair dresser is massaging your head in a peaceful and soothing way? But most importantly, do you only trust one specific person? If you answered yes to any of those questions then you're in the right spot.  I live right outside of Boston so my hair salon is located in one of Bostons outer cities: Brookline. The salon I go to is called 'Dellaria.' My whole life I have been going to a salon in my small town Winthrop, but this past summer my older sister, Abby, encouraged me to try this new salon out. I am a very picky person when it comes to my hair...I like to have my hair a specific length, specific color and specific style. Therefore, I was a little hesitant. But I decided, 'hey we're living in a pande...

One More Night at Home...

Foxborough, MA   2021 Spring Semester  A Scrumptious Dinner With my Roommate Before we Drove Back to Maryland! Entering: Foxborough, MA. 'Home of the Patriots.' One last night out for a nice dinner before road tripping back to Maryland won't hurt, would it? My roommate is from Norfolk, MA which is a small town right next to Foxborough, MA.  Foxborough, of course, is widely known for being the home field of the Patriots at Gillette Stadium. Aside from the field, Gillette Stadium, also known as, Patriots Place- has an abundance of delicious restaurants and marvelous shops.  Patriots Place- Gillette Stadium.  Before getting to sleep early for a nice 6 1/2 hour drive back to school Melina and I decided to grab a quick meal at a restaurant called 'Six String.' I have never been before, but it was awesome. The vibes in there were awesome and the music being played aloud was even better. Prior to COVID, this restaurant would have live bands come and preform each weeke...
