Boston & Providence (3)

Wednesday dawned (well, late dawn) another beautiful day. Matt recommended the Edward Hopper Exhibit so we headed to the T station to hop on the Green line which took us practically to the front door of the Museum of Fine Art. The three of us went through the Hopper exhibit, then Abbie left to meet up with a friend from Brown who lives in Boston. Frank and I continued to go through the museum. After a couple of hours, we went to one of the museum restaurants for lunch. Then more museum browsing.

Late afternoon we hooked up with Abbie and her friend (Jason Lee) in the area near South Station. Abbie and Jason had spent the day at the New England Aquarium and had lunch at Legal Seafoods. Jason recommended The Daily Catch for a dinner, but was unable to join us. The restaurant had outdoor seating, near the water. The service was pretty slow -- apparently they were short-staffed due to the Steely Dan concert -- but the food was fabulous.

Abbie IV got black pasta (black due to the squid ink)

and Frank and I got Lobster Fra Diavolo for 2.

We split a bottle of wine, recommended by our long-suffering-with-too-many-tables waiter. The cappuccino that we ordered for dessert was so slow in coming that it was on the house. Since we were in no hurry, the slow service was no concern for us. And the wonderful food, great company and lovely location were all happily enjoyed during the long, slow meal.

The Green Line took us back to the hotel for our last night in Boston.
