I had recently shared this article from ThrillList, with JO, entitled "Actually Cool Things to Do When Someone Visits Boston." I shared it because visiting Inman Square is on the list but what caught JO's eye was the SoWa Market. We'd never been, and he had actually never heard of it, so we decided to check it out.
SoWa was pretty cool. It's an outdoor craft market with food trucks and music. It's kind of neat how the big apartment buildings there, InkBlock and Sienna, are basically creating a community for their renters. There's a cafe, a Whole Foods, a Pete's Coffee, and the buildings sponsor the Market. It definitely makes the area more desirable, as there isn't too much around in terms of restaurants and shops.
After checking out the market, we decided to grab some lunch from the food trucks. It was hard to pick between Bon Me, Roxy's Grilled Cheese, a Mediterranean themed truck, and even more. We decided to sample the grilled cheeses and they were delicious. Guacamole on a grilled cheese is perfection!
After lunch we walked through the South End. We've never really explored the South End before so it was neat to check out a new neighborhood. I'm a sucker for the brownstones, cute parks, and secret gardens.
We stumbled upon Five Horses Tavern, a few streets behind the Prudential Center, with lots of open patio tables. We grabbed some drinks and delicious donut holes!
After our snack we headed over to Newbury Street to take advantage of a sale at Patagonia (JO was jealous of my Nano Puff yesterday). At this point we were nearly to the Mass Ave bridge so we decided to keep walking home.
I always love the views from the Mass Ave Bridge and it was fun to see the fireworks barge all set up for tomorrow's show.
When we got home, we rejoiced in the fact that we had walked more than nine miles the day after an 8.5 mile hike! Cheers to the city and not feeling old!
