Last night, the hubs and I met up with my brother and a bunch of my cousins for the Red Sox game. My twenty-six year old cousin who is visiting from Florida and has been to Boston a gazillion times had never been to Fenway for a game. WTH! I couldn't believe it. We started at Boston Beer Works, a good place to meet up. Waiting in line in the sweltering heat to get in was awesome...NOT! Although the line did move fast. Before we knew it and a few drinks later, all the cousins had arrived. Of course food was ordered but I am not at liberty to review the snacks, as I did not sample any of it. The place was bustling and the atmosphere was cool.
Our seats at the park were awesome. We were in section 3, row 7 in the right field grand stand. Perfect view of the field and the fans around us were pretty cool. I am not a stationary type of chick so I got up several times and then ended up in the standing room only section right above from where were sitting. There was a nice, little breeze up there. Everyone else joined us in our new viewing area to watch the end of the game. Sox won 3-2. I know all of you are sitting there thinking, Kellyb didn't eat?? I can't believe it myself when there is so much to pick from at Fenway including hot dogs, cotton candy, peanuts, popcorn, chicken fingers, etc. Truth be told, I was in more of a drinking beer kind of mood. After the game, we regrouped at the end of Yawkey Way.
Some cousins jetted and the rest of us headed over to the Lansdowne Pub. I was ravenous at this point. I wanted some fries and I wanted them NOW! We decided to sit in a huge booth kind of set up, along the left wall. The place was pretty happening. Lots of youngsters getting their drink on and some were busting a move. I, too, was feeling the tunes and dancing in my seat. Everyone said they weren't hungry and didn't want anything when I asked. But, I am no fool and wanted to make sure I would get my fair share. I ordered two orders of large fries and two orders of chicken bites (just write nuggets). The chicken was blah but I still ravaged almost a full order. The fries were fantastic. They were served on a plate with a paper bag to absorb the excess oil and to reduce the moisture. Genius! And believe me, it makes a difference. I am a fry connoisseur and I get so angry when you are served/delivered fries in a styrofoam container. Hello!!!! Not good. Everyone had a couple of drinks and helped me eat the appetizers. I tried a sip of my cousin's mojito, which I had never tasted before. OMG!!! Loved it. I would describe it as an adult lime rickey without the raspberry. Although the raspberry would be a nice touch. Am I right? Either way, why hasn't anyone introduced me to this scrumptiousness sooner? The fam and I had a great time together. We definitely should make it a tradition.
