in boston for business, i managed to escape work long enough to have dinner with danielle on newbury street (aka my favorite street in boston). cool shops and excellent eats - all in the span of a couple of blocks. awesome. stephanie's on newbury serves comfort food but with unique gourmet touches.

danielle ordered a ginormous cuban sandwich - toasted and ooey gooey - enough for two meals. i ordered the fish and chips. i'm not sure the photo captures the sheer size of the serving. a giant basket of perfectly crispy fries topped with 3 huge pieces of perfectly crispy fish. delicious. the highlight, however, was the amazing radicchio aioli. danielle and i were both dipping our fries into the garlicky hot pink aioli. phenomenal.

on business trips, i usually don't get to see much of a city other than from inside the cab and from the windows of the conference room. i love to try regional specialities whenever i'm in a new city, but often that means trying whatever they offer in the airport.

legal seafood is famous in boston for its clam chowder. i was very happy to see a branch at the delta shuttle terminal at logan airport. legal's chowder is much lighter and fresher than what i'm used to - the clams are tender and the potatoes still have some bite to them. excellent chowder and perfect after a long day.
