With the holidays quickly coming, I have been working a lot and have not had a lot of time to explore this amazing city. I promise after the new year they will happen more frequently :)
I will start off with things I want for Christmas. My mom asked me what was on my Christmas List and I said someone to pay off my student loans, lipo, and one or more nights with Jake Gyllenhaal. See here is the science, someone pays off my loans, I have money, with that money, I can get lipo, with lipo, I get Jake.
I love to hate Taylor Swift because she is dating him.
Okay but really, please pay really close attention if you are my friend.........
1. SNL Best of Chris Farley - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YfvBbxE1vU, my FAVORITE VIDEO EVER
2. La Mer watch, HOW CUTE ARE THESE!? This one specifically (Bali Studded Wrap Watch in black), thank you. Please note, I am really into gold right now.
3. Really cute black boots with a heel. I don't know where to find REALLY cute ones so I need suggestions please. Actually, flat back every day boots too for that matter. Check out the Natale boots in the sale section :) Natale Boots
With the holidays here, I am trying my best to eat healthy. Sometimes, it goes great, I actually WANT to eat celery with hummus. Other days, give me a turkey sub with mustard, lettuce, and tomatoes any day O YA also a bag of BBQ chips and a 7 Up, I will also freshen my breath with 28 Jolly Ranchers.
Boston Kebab House is where all of my salad dreams have come true. Thank GOD that retail hours usually gives me a break around two or three because the line here is usually wrapped around the corner. For all of $5.48 you can have a salad with ANYTHING IN IT. Really ANYTHING. They have a million different vegetables, "toss-ins" as they call them, dressings, and meats. I really can never make a decision, I usually ask waitresses at restaurants to pick something for me, but here they scare you in a really nice way so you order fast. I could tell you what I usually get for my salad but you don't care (okay fine: organic spinach, mixed greens, feta cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, carrots, almonds, broccoli, cranberries, banana chips, chicken, and I always say surprise me with the dressing just not creamy). You also get a free piece of pita bread, YUM. Word on the block is that they have great subs too, check it out: http://bostonkebabhouse.com/.
If you go around the corner, the Au Bon Pain on State Street everyday has a sign outside the store where they write some type of catchy phrase to get you in. On MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, the sign has said "Let Us Toss Your Salad", thank you ABP.
You can think my head is in the gutter. It actually is, I am a pervert, whatever. Today while helping a husband find a wallet for his wife, he goes into great detail about an expensive bag that he bought her last year for Christmas. The husband was kind of odd (he opened up his arms like he was going to hug me when I asked if I could help him), but he kept referencing this "expensive bag" that was mahogany and it had to match. After finding the right wallet for his wife, the man says: "Awesome, this is a great gift. The price isn't too bad either, I totally splurged all over my wife last Christmas". WHY WHY WHY.

When the bars let out at 2 AM and you are trying to soak up all the alcohol in your stomach, where do you go? I have contemplated this for a very long time. After bouncing around some bars on Saturday, a friend of mine was craving pizza and another friend was craving something sweet. I had heard a rumor that Mike's Pastry in the North End was open 24 hours. I will go ahead and clear the rumor, this place isn't open 24 hours. I was there at 3 AM and it was closed.
A few doors down on Hanover St., Cafe Pompeii was open. I don't really want to tell you that this place has the best pizza, french fries, or dessert. I don't think I really remember how good anything was, I did eat all of my food though, duh. What I will tell you is that if you and your friends do not want the night to end, go here. If you are not 100% Italian, you will stick out like a sore thumb. Our waiter was really nice; I asked him if he was full Italian (because I knew he wasn't) and he whispered "HALF". I really think he was lying, he was just trying to fit in, I respect him. I also could not help but notice a guy rocking a fur jacket and Kangol hat eating with a man in a really sharp suit, like how are they even acquainted?
Anyways, if you are looking for late night eats after being out around Faneuil, go to Cafe Pompeii.
I don't know any of these people, they were not at Cafe Pompeii but I wish they were. How pale is the guy in the middle!?
