Yes, truly fab. And Hammond Castle. Boston is like a mini Manhattan. I would be so annoyed if I lived in NYC and also annoyed to live in the burbs, either CT or NJ or Westchester. Just too much hassle. Spoiled by SLC, Montreal and TO and Boston - not too diff to get around. Though I think TO might be very different now; have seen the traffic jams, now that the metro area is 5.5 million, puts it nearly at Chicago levels 3/7 million, inner and suburban, respectively. Gets too large. And Montreal's traffic jams now are def annoying. Boston is annoying enough with 4 million greater Bos (halfway up to NH and halfway to the Cape) out of 6 million; I just don't want to add any more traffic misery. When we were there for a week in 06 and stayed in Ardmore, Westchester, it was hell to get in via Yonkers. And in O8 when we drove to Pratt and back in a day - twice - the jams were annoying.

Wonderful. We don't have quite the same panache in Boston; not as many famous people per square foot and not as many famous famous pieces of art. But we have Harvard Square; cn't think of many things we have that are unique - Back Bay is like parts of Manhattan and our Cape Ann and Cape Cod and the Vineyard are like greater NY, since Nantucket really was part of NY. But Harvard Square is unique... and we have more movies being filmed here than previously - the tax rate was changed to make it more favorable.

Amazing the gold bracelet; I've seen them, but never had one.

And Anthony Bennedetto! Amazing. I am sure he appreciated not being hounded.... NY is great for famous people watching.

It was just good timing at the end of the day as the sky turned pink.

What a grand place! Is that a new addition? I don't remember it being so beautiful.

It's not obvious unless you look closely. Thanks for looking.
