Tulips in the Public Garden.

Whimsical Monday

This is a section of the Stata Center at MIT. It is a must see if you ever visit the Boston area. You can see the front view from a post I did in June 2007. The building was designed by Frank Gehry; another Frank Gehry building can be found on Prague Daily Photo. Information on the MIT building can be found on MIT's website here.

Comfort Station on the Common

Descendants of the Earl of Sandwich opened a sandwich concession on the Boston Common late last Autumn. Spending a considerable amount of money, an old "comfort station" i.e. restroom, near the Parkman Bandstand was converted into a restaurant. I haven't stopped by for a sandwich yet, just a few pictures and a menu. You can read more about the restaurant in the Boston Globe.
