I called Boston home for a year and living in Toronto, I visited frequently thanks to the quick Porter airline offerings between the two cities. Last month I was able to visit Beantown with the kids and was surprised by how kid friendly the entire city was. This historic city is one of the oldest and […]
During our Boston explorations with Porter Escapes, we were invited to stay at the Fairmont Copley Plaza and there I discovered a hotel that’s oozing with historic charm at every inch of the property. From the moment you enter the Fairmont Copley Plaza, you notice the elegant touches but what really captures your eyes is […]
After spending a fun Saturday morning at the Boston Children’s Museum, we set out to the Salty Pig for some adult fun. The restaurant had been on Yashy’s list of places to dine during the trip, and since it was located very near to the Fairmont Copley Plaza where we were staying, we decided to risk showing […]
On our recent family trip to Fenway Park, we were treated to an insider’s look, or the case of this Blue Jays fan, an interloper’s inspection, of one of America’s most famous stadiums. With its unusual shape, featuring a 37 foot green wall known to baseball fans as the Green Monster and its classic ballpark […]
It’s been ages since a restaurant’s kids menu impressed me and so you know I HAVE to tell you about our visit to Myers + Chang in Boston. When I knew we’d be exploring Boston with Porter Escapes, one of the first things I did was make a “to eat” list because I knew my […]
During our visit to Boston, we were invited to stay at the Langham Boston Hotel and we checked ourselves in for a night of modern elegance and British charm. The Langham Boston is not only one of the fabulous hotels you can snag as part of a Porter Escapes package but it’s also just a […]
It felt like ages since we last visited a Children’s Museum and so I was very excited when I realized that Boston had one…and one that had surprisingly been around for ages! When I lived there I honestly don’t remember even walking by it, but I must have as it’s right on the waterfront. During […]
Our very first meal in Boston was going to be at Row 34 and I was super pumped to link up with a friend for dinner at 7 p.m. the night we landed. My friend had tried to get reservations for us and failed so we had originally decided to try our luck at a walking in, yes […]
A couple months ago, I lamented that fact that I was unable to find even one good craft beer store in downtown Pittsburgh. On our recent trip to Boston with Porter Escapes, I had the opposite problem, an enviable list of options that I had to narrow down, lest I buy too many beer to […]
When the hubs and I first decided to explore Pittsburgh for our first getaway outside of Canada without the kids, I had mediocre expectations about the city. What I came to discover is that Pittsburgh is a foodie city that many overlook for various reasons and I truly believe now is the time to visit this […]
