Byron and Lisa were in town because of a wedding in Byron's family the previous weekend. They stayed for the week so the six of us were able to go out to dinner together. Just like old times.
More fun with Picnik.
We had dinner at Vinoteca di Monica in the North End. The McHusband had gnocchi. Well, he had guh-nah-chee as far as he's concerned; everyone else eats nee-yoh-kee.
After dinner, we walked to Mike's Pastry for some cannoli.
The place was packed! It had to have been every bit of 10:30 when we got there, but you wouldn't have known it was that late by the crowd.
In true tourist fashion, I took pictures of all of us with our cannolis outside Mike's. The McHusband hijacked Sabrina's picture.
I got a chocolate-covered, chocolate cream-stuffed cannoli, and the McHusband got a peanut butter cream-filled one. Look at those happy faces.
Byron and Lisa veered off the cannoli path and got cheesecake and a whoopie pie respectively.
We walked to some nearby tables to break open our boxes. You didn't really think the dessert was going to make it all the way home, did you?
After our sugary pit stop, we walked through the New England Holocaust Memorial.
Then we got one more group photo as we made our way back to the T for the ride home.
Here I am putting $10 on our Charlie Card with Rick's assistance so that I could get home. Looks kinda like I'm buying my way out of a jail cell...
Dinner and dessert with a great group of friends - it was the perfect way to kick off the weekend.

Holy cannoli Batman!!! (Yeah, I thought it was pretty bad myself but couldn't resist.) You sure you weren't in a bar that served pastries? Don't think I've EVER seen a bakery with so many people in it!
You've got a real talent for writing Steph...I'm highly amused! Good idea to get us all posing with Mike's pastries, hilarious and making me crave a canolo all at the same time :-)
