I was SO FULL after that meal. That pub was a cool choice, in a basement under the touristy burger place on Quincy market. The cherry stones where perfect - meaty, briny and oh so fresh. The crab cakes were moist, full of tender lumps of crab. I am looking forwward to more of the same!
There is a cool wine shop near our hotel called Brix and I bought a few bottles to bring back home.

Avignonesi Rosso di Montepulciano from Italy - $17.99
La fleur d'or Sauternes from France - $19.99
Sazerac rye whiskey 6 years - $27.00
We had a very late dinner in little Italy after a long, digestive walk. But first we stopped at a liquor store to buy some limited edition Absolut Boston vodka (it's flavored with black tea and elderflower, then had dinner at Lucca.

Martini, oysters, bread with butter and pesto spread, pumpkin ravioli with pine nuts, bitter greens and gorgonzola cheese in a brown butter and apple cider sauce, with a nice bottle of wine - $79 with tip
Since it was late when we finished our meal, we managed a stop to famous Mike's pastry. Usualy, there is at least an hour's worth of wait, but we were in and out in less than 10 minutes. That place is fun, full of random people in for a quick bite, coffee or after-meal dessert. The staff are pros, tying up a box of goodies in mere seconds.
Plain cannoli, yellow cream cannoli, Boston cream pie - $9 with tip
I did not eat any of those yet, because: come on. Suicide from pastry overload is for French bourgeois.
