Ever Plan a Night Out With the Girls, but then it Downpours?


25 Thompson Pl., Boston, MA, 02210

BarTaco- Highly Recommend  

Emma and I having to block the rain so our hair doesn't get ruined. 

Here we go again with the Seaport in Boston... a life changing experience, let me tell you. My girlfriends and I decided we should go out and try this new place that everyone had been raving about, called BarTaco. My older sister, Abby, went with her girls and elaborated on it for days. It was only a matter of time for her to convince me to gather my crew and get on over there- so we picked a night, made a reservation and went. What we didn't know was that the weather of our day of choice was going to suck! The five of us got dressed up, in cute clothes, and ubered into the city. We went in a little bit prior to the reservation time so we could walk around and enjoy the outdoors. Once we got there it was not so long until the rain started to come down, hard. We ran and had to hide under a buildings roof until we called another uber to pick us up from location A and bring us to location B, BarTaco.

On the ride home- masks on, rain free. 

When we finally arrived it was a relief. Emma, Deanna, Francesca, Courtney and I were finally inside in the dry, scrumptious-smelling restaurant. Thrilled was an understatement. As we got to our seats we sat down, scanned the barcode for the menu and browsed for a little bit. The menu was only looking yummier and yummier as we kept scrolling, so we decided to get an appetizer. I decided that I wanted falafel. Ironically enough, I have never tried falafel before. It was TO DIE FOR! I would definitely recommend trying this if you have never before. For my entree I decided to get a cauliflower bowl. In this bowl came roasted cauliflower topped with romesco sauce, pesto chicken, peppers, onions and cilantro. Boy oh boy was this dish amazing. Usually, I am not one to get much on my meals- never mind all of what came in this bowl. But, today was a day of trying new things so there I went.

After we all stuffed our faces we, obviously, needed a picture. Our waiter was kind enough to take this for us.

After we paid the bill we were ready to be on our way. So, we left. My younger sister, Emma, happened to be working at a restaurant right down the street called Mare Oyster Bar. 

Mare...yum

Honestly, there is not one bad thing I could say about Mare. That is a fan favorite, especially for my parents. Knowing that Emma was working we stopped by to say hello before we grabbed an uber back home. Emma, kind enough, had an open area for us to sit down and have a drink. We got to sit at the fire pits with the luxury couches. It was amazing and I would rate this a 10/10 experience. Service is excellent, drinks are amazing and the atmosphere/view beats everything.

Enjoying the view. 


If I have to tell you one thing that would be to visit Boston and check out BarTaco as well as Mare.

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...
