Heya darlin'! :)

If you want fun and food, for early breakfast and a walk or anytime, try Faneuil Hall Market -so much choice and people watching and strolling...

To do, besides being American history Central, if you're into and have time for a museum, the Museum of Fine Arts is one of very best.

Enjoy a walk around and about the Commons...omg, there's soooooo much...

Enjoy - did that help? :)

Love, Peace -
Karen

Hi Alicia!

Do you have a book signing in Boston?

You should try and get to the North End (The Italian part) and try and hit Grezzo!
http://www.grezzorestaurant.com/

"At Grezzo, we are committed to bringing you flawlessly fresh food with its life force still intact. The concept is green, organic and locally grown vegan, raw food served in an upscale style and setting. Our menu changes daily and reflects the availability of organic, high quality, living foods."

It's owned and operated by a woman I went to high school with.

You might also want to pack a raincoat....it's supposed to be stormy on Saturday.

Enjoy being in New England! There isn't any other place like it. :-)

Ooh, Boston! Love it and miss it so much. Lived there for 8 years. I would suggest walking the Esplanade. It's right on the Charles River, you can walk the loop and cross over into Cambridge and walk by MIT. It's gorgeous this time of year! When you're done, walk down Charles Street right into the heart of Beacon Hill. Very Boston!
If you want to venture out of town, check out Masao's Kitchen in Waltham(I think it's still around). It's a vegan/macrobiotic restaurant @ 581 Moody St. Waltham, MA 02453
Enjoy the city!Deb

There is a vegan pizza joint next door too.

I live about a half hour south of Boston and am hoping that you are doing a book signing while there!! I think your book is going to change my life, Alicia...you are such an inspiration.


And I agree with the others about checking out Fanueil Hall and Boston Common. Boston is a walking city-so much to see and do, so try to take it all in! Also, it's very beautiful here in Massachusetts this time of year! I hope you have a great visit.

Hi Alicia, If you are near the South End I recommend O2 Yoga http://www.o2yoga.com/ & while you are in the area Flour Bakery has some vegan options http://www.flourbakery.com/ & Wheelers Frozen Desserts is 100% vegan ice cream http://www.icecreamproject.com/. For a dinner option I like The Elephantwalk http://www.elephantwalk.com/ which also has a variety of vegan choices. I have never eaten at Grezzo's but I have heard good things about it & want to try it someday. I hope you will enjoy your stay in Boston. I am hoping to bring my granddaughter to the library on Saturday.
