i love to eat and travel and document as much of it as i can.

lunar new year's family feast.

two of my brothers live in boston, so we went to see them and their families over the lunar new year. i always love seeing my nieces and nephews, and this trip was especially exciting as i got to meet a new baby nephew! only five weeks old. {heart eyes emoji}

we stopped by the prudential center to check out eataly boston. it was the weekend though, and a total madhouse. hopefully when the LA one opens it won't be as busy and i can actually enjoy it.

we try and spend as much time as possible with family when we're in boston, but that means we rarely explore the city on our own. this time we found an afternoon to walk around the downtown area and see some of the sights.

of course, one can't go boston and not have a lobster roll. we stopped in at luke's lobster, which serves only sustainable seafood. we tried one of each of their rolls: lobster, crab and shrimp. they're on the small side, but the lobster was one of the best rolls i've ever had. and the crab roll was possibly even better.
