Thing to do when you visit us in New England

Eat

You can get good food of almost any flavor in the Boston area. The only exception is Mexican food. Jerusha, being from Arizona, is very picky, and will not bestow her favor on any Mexican restaurants in Boston (yet).

New England has great seafood, and there are a million places to get a good lobster. In addition to all of those places, here are a few of our favorites.

Little India - Waltham
A tapas bar in Waltham on Moody Street the I can't remember right now
Union Oyster House
Asmara Restaurant (Ethiopian) - Cambridge - http://www.asmararestaurant.com/
Elephant Wok (Cambodian) - Cambridge
Woodman's (Fried Clams, Lobster) - Essex

Vietnameese place by Jerusha's school in Chinatown
Armenian place in Watertown that Guen took us to
