DePasquale's Homemade Pasta Shoppe

Panino

We try to cook dinner as much as possible, but I have to say when you live in the North End, it's tough.  Walk outside our apartment and there are Italian restaurants galore. One place we've come to visit on a weekly basis is DePasquale's. This shop is known for it's homemade pasta, ravioli, and gnocchi. It also offers a variety of Italian specialty foods: cheese, meats, spreads, etc.

Italian

However, we have come to love DePasquale's sandwich offerings. The French loaf is from Bricco Panetteria (also part of DePasquale's Ventures), which is probably the best bread around. Each slice of meat, cheese, lettuce, and tomato is freshly cut for each sandwich. Our favorites are the Panino (fresh mozzarella, proscuitto, tomato, and basil) and the Italian (a selection of Italian meats, lettuce, tomato, pepperoncini, onion). We've come to realize one sandwich is enough for two people (assuming you have a side of chips), so for a little less than $8 you really can't beat this tasty deal.

Fireworks in Boston

TWSF celebrated the anniversary our nation's birth by visiting one of the cities at the heart of the American Revolution: Boston, Massachusetts. Boston has plenty of attractions to offer any patriotic visitor, but since history is boring our trip focused on food, drink, beaches and a wedding. However, our trip did start out with a bit of history as we went through airport security at Washington National Airport with none other than the Reverend Al Sharpton. With a sighting like that prior to takeoff we knew the trip would be good, Boston did not disappoint.
