Beautiful mall with high end stores like Pottery Barn, Create and Barrel, etc...Plenty of choices to eat in the food court and lots of parking.

The reason why I'm only giving two stars is the gender equality bathroom across from Pottery Barn. I fully support gender equality bathrooms but I just don't feel comfortable using them. If there is a gender equality bathroom, then there should be a male and female bathroom there too.

I had to go to the bathroom badly and had to go to the bathroom in the food court.

I came here yeaterday around 10:30am with my parents.

The young woman serving us was very polite and patient. We ordered a Nanaimo Bar, and macarons: salted caramel, apple crumble, birthday cake and one that tasted like peach. All the macaroons were tasted and fresh. Plus only $2.95 each.

There's also seating if you want to sit and enjoy your food.

I would definitely buy macarons again from Illy Cafe!

Beautiful park! Lots of weeping willow trees to provide shade. Peaceful and relaxing if you want to have a picnic or read a book.

There is also a swan boat ride that you can take in the small lake.

Nice park. Not much to do except go for a walk and splash in Frog Pond in the summer and skate on Frog Pond in the winter. There was also a carousel but nobody was in the ticket booth so it was not operating.

I love how at the entrance of the park there is a dispenser for SPF 30 sunscreen. Such a great idea!
The Barking Crab

I was visiting Boston from Canada and wanted an authentic New England meal.

First, there was a bit of a wait (10 minutes) to be seated but it was worth the wait. The restaurant does not take reservations and they won't seat you unless all members of your party are there.

The restaurant is right on the water with amazing views of the harbour.

I had clam chowder and a lobster roll. It was the best clam chowder I ever had-it was rich and creamy with lots of large pieces of clam. Nothing like Campbell's clam chowder soup which is watered down and more potatoes than clams. My lobster roll was delicious and fresh testing-it was like the lobster was just caught a few minutes earlier. My boyfriend had a fish dish and he loved it. He said his fish was tender and fresh.

Mariah was our server and she was patient with questions we had about the menu.

I highly recommend the Barking Crab!
