Do...
Sunday caught some jazz at The Beehive in the South End. No cover and all the crowd was downstairs that night... a good crowd, winding down a weekend or maybe just keeping it going as long as possible.

Eat...
Couple hours before that, though, we grabbed a bite at Neptune Oyster in the North End. It was a rainy afternoon, which lent itself nicely to a long, boozy lunch in a cramped, dark place. Neptune may be one of the more aesthecitally pleasing spots I've ever eaten. Or maybe that was the rosé. The burger was topped with cheddar, fried oysters, and garlic mayo, and the lobster roll was toasted, buttered and buttered. At some point the kitchen sent out a Johnny Cake: a cornmeal pancake with smoked trout, crème fraiche, and caviar. Just the little something we needed to keep the convo flowing.

STAY...
Laid our heads at XV Beacon, near the Massachusetts State House and Boston Common, which enabled a superbly convenient stroll before catching the flight home. Next time, we'll need more time.

The things I would do to go knock back a few dozen oysters, while tailgating in the back of the old school Land Rover I don't own...
let's do something about that Land Rover issue, though I don't think it'll get us into the Yale/Harvard game.
I'd like one of those Rovers, like, now, please. Wow.
