I don’t eat to live, I live to eat.
This morning, we wanted to get some gym time in since we’ve been stuffing our faces with good food. We started with a small snack/breakfast at the hotel’s canteenM. They had a buffet option but we elected for the a-la-carte as we only wanted a small meal before our workout. There was plenty of seating… Continue reading Boston Day 4

When I first moved to Ottawa, the only local coffee shop around was Bridgehead. Over the years, Ottawa has become hipster coffee shop central.

On our last day in Montreal, we had to stop for some bagels. We’ve eaten bagels from St. Viateur in the past so we wanted to try Fairmount Bagel this time.
