A quick visit to Charles Street
My next stop on my walking tour through Boston was Charles Street. It is a beautiful walkable area in the Beacon Hill neighborhood. I was heading that way to check out Credo Beauty, but I decided to keep strolling to see what I’d find. Here are just two of the standouts that caught my attention.…

So how are the restaurants at the Omni Hotel Boston Seaport?
During my stay at the Omni Hotel Boston at the Seaport, I made sure to try as much of the restaurants as I could. Because I booked through American Express, I got a head start with the daily breakfast credit. I used that to get a daily taste of Kestra. My first morning, I ordered…
