Past Weekend

Hi everyone!,

Today's post is not anything about nails or makeup but about this past weekend when my roommates sister, Shama, visited from Toronto.

We had a great time going out to eat at different restaurants and looking around Boston :) and I wanted to tell you guys about a few of the places we dined in.

One of the places we ate while she was here is called Ristorante Damiano- located in the North End and it truly was amazing.

                                            Shama and I at Damiano's waiting for our food (nom nom)

Damiano's concept is that you order different small plates of food and share it with everyone. So if you're not a good sharer I suggest you practice sharing before you go ;) (I'm not a very good sharer myself but didn't have any problem! tehe)

Here are the small plates called 'Piattini's' we got:
-Spicy Shrimp
-Puttanesca
-Risotto Caprese
-Pumpkin Ravioli
-Garlic Shrimp
-Aglio Olio
We can read the menu on their website: http://ristorantedamiano.com/

We shared six Piattinis and a bottle of wine among 4 people and it was plenty of food! I wish I took pictures of the food but oh well!

After dinner we headed to the infamous Mike's Pastry for some macaroons and cupcakes! It was PACKED as expected but I managed to get 3 almond macaroons, 2 pistachio macaroons, 3 chocolate macaroons and 3 crucantis. They are about $1.50 per macaroon but it is totally worth it :)

The next day we went shopping on Newbury St. and stopped at this small cafe called Piattini Wine Cafe for an early dinner. (http://www.piattini.com)

                                             Cranberry Kiss Cocktail and Sam Adams Summer Ale ;) 

Shama and I both just got  Caesar Salad and My roommate got Gnocchi. The food was great but the drinks were AMAZING! I really recommend going there for small bites of meals and some cocktails :)

It was great having Shama over the weekend that I got to eat at such good restaurants!hehe

Its Restaurant Week here in Boston and I'll be posting a blog soon about the places I went!

Til then BYE!
