No running - Just eats

I haven't blogged in awhile, mainly because I haven't run a race in two weeks, but I have dined at a few nice places.

I was in Boston over the weekend visiting my son Bobby who is in his second year as a pre-med student. It was parent weekend so Ro, Michael and I took the trip up to see him. Boston has a lot going on and is a great running town. There are always hundreds of runners jogging along the Charles. There was a regatta going on with hundreds of rowers on the Charles. I love running there but this weekend I was taking a few days off.

We arrived on Friday a little late for the first activity so we headed to Uburger, "Above All Burgers" is their slogan. I like their burgers and so did my family. Bobby wanted Thai but we needed something quick.

On Saturday we headed to Thai Dish which is adjacent to Uburger for lunch. I had the Pad Khee which was very good although a bit spicy. After lunch we basically strolled all of Boston working our way to the North End shopping along the way.

We had our sights on Pizzeria Regina on Thatcher but there was over a 1 hour wait so we settled for a place called Push Cart Pizza. It was good, but nothing like Regina and the wait was 30 minutes and we only had 3 folks in front of us.

After the pizza we headed to Mike's Pastry which looked like the wait was 90 minutes so we passed that up. Everyone was tired so we took the T back to the hotel.

Since our hotel was north of Boston we had to pass through the North End on the way back to Bobby's dorm so my plan was to get some cannolis at Mike's on the way home. No line and 3 cannolis later we were on our way back to Bobby's living quarters so say goodbye. Before we left though we got a few cannolis at Modern Pastry so we can compare. Mike's were a lot better.

Usually the Running Gourmand just doesn't eat but this weekend that's all I did. All the food was good but I need to get back on the roads.
