Love that dirty water

[offbalance]

This weekend, j_bkl and I are heading to the city of Chowdah and da Sahx and Hahvahd Yahd for a wedding. Thankfully, the aforementioned baseball team will be off in Philly that weekend, so I don't have to deal with Fenway crowds. But I'd love some suggestions from the Boston-savvy about fun things to do or eat. I'm hoping very much to see hermionesviolin if the stars align, and we are attending the rehearsal dinner as well as the wedding Sunday. I know about stuff like the Freedom Trail, Quincy Market, and the aquarium (just so I can ride the T and hear "next stop, Wonderland!" like the big lame, Brad Anderson-loving loser that I am). I'm hoping for a restaurant section or two, or stuff to avoid would be awesome. I'm Yelping like crazy, obviously.

(I also would love a tour of the Sam Adams brewery, obvs, but we may not have time.)

Other than that, I'm just getting ready to get going. I'm very excited!! This is J & my first vacation together, AND our first wedding as a couple, so I have many things to look forward to. I just wish the weather would frigging cooperate already.

I'll keep that in mind. I'm not sure if I've ever had Malaysian food. I love Vietnamese, and there's a supposedly great Indonesian restaurant in Park Slope that I always meant to try, but I'll keep that in mind.

I had the mango chicken there. Green and ripe mango, red bell pepper, and chicken, all in the best sweet-and-sour-type sauce I've ever had, presented inside the mango shell.

SO GOOD.
