BOSTON

It was my first time in Boston recently, and I loved the city. I went with my good friend Liz who is from there, so she was the perfect tour guide and showed me the best of the city. We stayed with her family in Framingham, (which was beautiful suburbia outside of the city), and commuted to and from the city every day. I listed a few of my Boston highlights below, also check out my Boston video! BOSTON HIGHLIGHTS North End Boston North End is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Boston, known for it’s Italian American population and Italian restaurants. It’s basically like Boston’s “Little Italy”. We stopped by the famous Mike’s Pastries for cannolis, as well as hit up Bricco, a popular Italian find dining restaurant, which was delicious. North End has lots of great food, so go hungry! Biking along the Esplanade All around the city were bike rentals that you can rent by machine.

LONDON TOWN|CORINTHIA HOTEL

London during the Holidays is amazing. The city is filled with beautiful lights and festive decorations, christmas markets, and the streets are buzzing with holiday shoppers and beautiful store fronts. It felt very similar to New York during the Holidays, but with a bit more charm and architecturally more aesthetic. I spent a couple days there, but my outings were mostly at night hosting events and parties. We did take a London City tour one day which took us to all the famous London sights like Buckingham Palace, The London Bridge, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Big Ben, Tower of London, The London Eye & The National Gallery. We visited BBC Radio headquarters as well as the Tim Westwood radio station which was an experience. I had to make a stop at the famous Harrod’s to do a little shopping as well. I stayed at the Corinthia Hotel which I highly recommend. The hotel is exquisite, and the spa (ESPA Life), is exceptional. This was my 2nd visit to London, and I will be back soon!
