First night out in town!

A friend of mine here used to live in Boston before... so he guided a bunch of us through the urban jungle to Newbury street, which is apparently the cool place to hang out in town...
And we landed in a lovely yet kinda expensive Italian restaurant...

The food was good but tiny! I mean, I ordered ravioli, and I see the waitress coming over with those huge and deep plates... Hmmm... And I thank God that everything in the US is big...
And she puts the dish in front of me...
And I find, literally: NINE raviolis.

For a second I thought it was a joke!! I swear! (you know, hidden camera or something!) But it wasn’t, since all the others had micro-portions as well... it was only the sad sad reality that I was not going to get a proper dinner this night!
I think I cut each ravioli into 16 pieces and then ate them, just for the illusion :)

Then we went to the highest building in Boston, the top floor has a nice view - well, nice seems like a weak word. It was beautiful!!! The view was really like a postcard, you know, ‘greetings from Boston’ kind of thing.
(I know, I have to stop being the sa3idi tourist around here :)
