This past weekend, I took a trip to New England. In 1 weekend I was able to visit 3 states and 5 cities. In Massachusetts I went to Boston, Foxboro and Salem. In New Hampshire I went to Portsmouth and in Maine I went to Kittery. I must say that New England is very beautiful in it's own way and of course very historic. They truly have beautiful cities and towns.
My first stop was Boston, which by the way truly lets you embrace Fall. During my visit I went by Boston Common, Harborwalk and Chinatown. I went to Boston Common because I could not go to Boston and not admire this beautiful time of the year. It was breathtaking and relaxing to just sit there and truly enjoy what life has to offer. I went to Harborwalk and made a stop at the Sail Loft Restaurant for a drink. However, they did not have any good wine, at least not what I drink. They said it was supposed to have a nice view but their patio is very small and had no seats outside, so it was pointless. I also stopped at a food truck called Cookie Monstah and OMG those cookies were AMAZING! For dinner, I decided to go to Chinatown to eat Shabu Shabu and I went to Kaze. The service was astounding and the food was delicious. If you've never had Shabu Shabu you should def. try it one day! They bring you broth, meat, veggies of your choice and you cook it exactly how you want it. It's such a fun experience at a restaurant. At night, I went to the W Lounge at the W Boston Hotel. The Lounge is stunning and the service was great. The W Lounge is classy, sophisticated with a great atmosphere.

The following day I decided to go on an all day adventure. My first stop was Salem, Massachusetts. Salem is a very small town which is known for its historic witchcraft. Which by the way, the town is a bit creepy. One of their monuments is literally a witch which sits in the middle of the city. During my stop at Salem I went by Salem Beer Works for a drink. One of the drinks I had was a hot alcoholic beverage! Which was totally a first for me. It was literally like an alcoholic apple cider. I must say it was very different and delicious! Afterwards, I made a stop at the Salem Maritime National Historic Site where the Friendship of Salem is docked. Salem may be a small town but very historic and such a gem.
My next stop was Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I must say this is a beautiful town and super chic, I truly enjoyed it. It has the cutest shops and boutiques for some great shopping. While in Portsmouth, I had dinner at a restaurant named Surf. I must say the restaurant has a great view but the service wasn't great. Also, the food was such a disappointment as well. It was little and not that great, not my type of meal. Maybe I just had the wrong entree. Portsmouth is also known for their ice cream and although it was cold, I still had to get some. Therefore, I decided to make a stop at Kilwins. Their ice cream was delicious and worth every calorie!
My last stop was Kittery, Maine. Kittery seemed like a boring town in my eyes. However, they do have outlets and if you LOVE shopping then this is the town for you. I can only imagine how crazy this will be during black friday.

Finally, I cannot go to New England without going to Foxboro for a Patriots game. I will support the Patriots every chance I get! I will always enjoy my time at Gillette Stadium. The energy, the fans and the game! How can you not love it? Go Patriots!
