One of my favorite restaurants in Boston. Tres Gatos has affordable tapas with healthy portions, although the wine is more expensive than similar sized establishments.

Beautiful park only a few minutes from my home. It's a quiet place with an historic monument to mark an important part of the American Revolution. FYI: the map marker isn't accurately placed.
