Food Crawl 2

Sorry this took me a month to put up on the blog! The 2nd Food Crawl was Sunday, May 20th.  On our skateboardsboards, starting from Lechemere once again, we navigated through Cambridge to find some great food!

Our first stop was a cute cafe near Kendall Square, Tatte Bakery and Cafe.

Everything in this place looked good. The cakes, pastries, cookies, sandwiches, salads, drinks....we wanted to try it all!  But since Food Crawl is all about getting a small bite at each place, we ended up with 2 pastries and beverages.

Below is a delicious sweet apricot-y delight...but I forgot what it was called!   It was flaky and light, and was not too sugary (I like that!). You can also see my unsweetened iced tea in the background :)
I love the little mismatched plates!

And here is the Chocolate Rose, with Dave's pear juice (which he loved!).  Mom- if you're reading this, they had a Halva Rose too!
we went halfsies on both

We had trouble deciding which we liked more!  The place was really cute too:





I'm upset that I forgot to take a picture of the outside!

After some more skating, we figured we should grab something for lunch.  We've had Bon Me before, when Matt and Melissa were in Boston and they were parked at the SoWa Open Market.


The day we went (Sunday), they were parked on Clarendon Street around Stuart Street:

I just had to get the Thai Iced Tea:
mmm....refreshing

And although it doesn't look lovely, the rice noodle bowl with spice-rubbed chicken and spicy peanut sauce was tasty!
Although not the best Vietnamese food we've had, it was good for a quick bite near Copley Square.

Since we were kind of on a food truck kick, our next destination was Clover, which was parked near the Park Street Station at the Boston Commons.


Dave and I shared the Chickpea Fritter.  It was double chickpea, since it also had a hummus-like sauce.  The vegetables tasted fresh, and the sandwich was not too dry- we both liked it!



Instead of a dessert, we opted for some Grillos Pickles.  The stand was conveniently located right next to the Clover truck. 

We got our favorite: Hot Italian Dills
We love these so much that we buy them at Whole Foods to enjoy at home.

Stay tuned for Food Crawl 3!
