Night in Boston

My boyfriend and I went to the Phantom Gourmet BBQ Beach Party at Boston City Hall Plaza. We could only eat from four of the ten rib stands, because once we had that much we were craving a cannoli since everyone was walking around eating one. The cannoli's were from "Wholly Cannoli" and immediately the "Dynamite" one stood out to me. It had caramel in it and a chocolate shell with nuts. It was delicious! (The one in the picture was actually the second one we bought lol). I visited the website http://www.whollycannoli.com/ and they have everything from cakes, pies, cookies, and cupcakes to baklava, cheesecake, whoopie pies, and cinammon buns.



When it came to the BBQ, we were deeply disappointed. My boyfriend loves ribs and we were very excited that Memphis and Texas BBQers were coming to Boston to let us try their ribs but unfortunately we were not impressed with anything we tried. Here's our personal reviews on each of the stands we ate at.



RedBones - Massachusetts

First Bite: Easy to bite into and fairly tender on the inside. Sweet flavor.

Nonetheless, we did have a really good time, and we rode the ferris wheel which had a nice view. Here's some pics.. :)






Until next meal! :)
