Rhode Island & Boston Day 4

Yesterday consisted of walking down memory lane with F in Rhode Island. I won't go into to much detail, but enjoyed pastries in the morning at Seven Star Cafe (most adorable accented, sweetheart of a barista helped us) and ice cream at Gray's Ice Cream in the afternoon (huge size 'small'). 

In between we ate lunch at East Side Pockets, saw the River Park in downtown Providence with its WWII memorial,  and walked the grounds at Sakonnet Winery. Overall a wonderfully slower paced, laid back day.

Returning to Boston to change, we made our way back over the bridge to Cambridge for dinner at Oleana. Cute Mediterranean atmosphere and a waitress that show with confidence in each selected word. I thoroughly enjoyed the surroundings and champagne and most of the dishes we ordered. Each plate that tastes good, tastes delicious, a couple were lack-luster (ie I don't recommend the snow peas or pork roll). A surprise dish of savory custard and another of short rib were by far our favorites. A dessert of Baked Alaska ended the dinner on a sweet, mouth watering note.

Troya

Last night I checked out a small, Turkish/Mediterranean restaurant called Troya. It caught my eye when walking down Clement the other night, so naturally I had to try it! It did not disappoint. I love Mediterranean food to begin with, and everything on the menu sounded appetizing. After snacking on a bit of pita bread with oil and spices, I enjoyed their creamy Turkish lentil soup, followed by a small plate of lamb lollies with pilaf and veggies. I wish my tongue still didn't slightly hurt from the other day's allergic reaction, but I could still enjoy the tastes I have left! I would definitely revisit Troya in the future - there are other menu items I want to try and their prices are too reasonable not to try them all!

Hayes & Kabob

Falafel Wrap

No better way to end a long weekend than by drinking fresh Sangria in the warm California sun. Hayes & Kabob, located on the corner of Hayes and Laguna in Hayes Valley, is definitely not a new stop for me. I've dinned here more than a handful of occasions to enjoy their Mediterranean selections. Today, we needed a Sunday Funday somewhere to relax and appreciate the gorgeous day. I'd never noticed sangria on the menu before, but you'd be surprised what you find when you're looking for it! This restaurant is a no brainer for a quick, casual, and quality Mediterranean meal, as well as a huge outdoor seating area, perfect for days like today! Goodnight!
