Last weekend I was in Boston; so I visited Mike’s Pastry on 300 Hanover Street. I could have spent the whole day there wondering around. Not only the outside’s chill invites people inside but also the sweet smell of apple, cinnamon and vanilla call out for you. Though Mike’s Pastry is famous for its small sweets, I liked its piles of pies.
If you go there during weekend, you find Mike's very crowded.
Also the weekend before this, we went to Philadelphia to taste the famous Philly Cheese-stake.
We went to Geno’s Steaks, one of the two popular Philly Cheese-stake shops; the other is right across the street from Geno’s. Apart from the clear sign that orders you: Speak English You are in America and the fact that the management reserves the right to refuse service, the onion topped Cheese-steak is absolutely delicious.
Another amazing thing is that despite the long and crowded line, there is not much waiting and Geno's is open all night long. I couldn’t have a whole portion but no worries on that part, my company took care of that.
This is Pat's King of Steaks, across the street.

Oooh, I'd love to go to Boston! Sounds like you had a good time! Hey, come and cover the many wonderful restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area, too, soon! Do you have Najaf Darya Bandari's cookbook, called "Ketabe Mostatabe Ashpazi, Az Sir Ta Piaz?" I have it and it is so interesting! I am not disciplined enough to follow recipes, but it is a book written by one of the most fascinating literarymen of Iran, who makes even cooking sound poetic! Be good Tameshk Jan! This blog makes me hungry!
Tameshk, Tameshk, You didn't give me your address! And guess what, I'm so excited. I found my extra copy of a very special cookbook, Honare Ashpazi Dar Gilan! Do you have it? If not, I'll gladly give you my extra copy. It is simply THE BEST cookbook I have ever owned, both because it is written so simply and accurately, and also because all those fantastic, easy Rashti dishes with vegetables are in it! Come on, hand over the address!
