I met with my parents for lunch and returned
to S&S Restaurant, a Jewish deli in the vicinity of Cambridge.
We tried a lot and it was all good. "This place is a winner." "You
chose well."
| Whitefish, various fixings with which to make bagel sandwiches, and fruit.
We were surprised the whitefish was actually just whitefish, not whitefish
salad. After trying it, we were not disappointed: "That whitefish is
good."
| Pastrami on rye. Solid. My dad even liked the pickle, perhaps because
it was more cucumbery and less vinegary than usual. I liked it too, though
my mom preferred normal pickles.
| Corned beef hash. "Pretty nice." "Very yummy." "Excellent." Since we
ordered it as a side dish, it didn't come with a poached egg--rather, my
dad used the boiled egg that came with the whitefish to complement the
hash. He said it worked.

| Fresh fruit like I had last time.
| A respectable knish, like last time.

Charles Street, one of the main retail streets in Beacon Hill.
I noticed it had many stores selling antiques.
| A random street that displays the flavor of the neighborhood. I love
the street lamps!
| I took this photo because I like the effect: the shadow of one house's
outline cast onto another house. I'm particularly amused that the
window of one house appears on the chimney of the other. It increases
my amusement that both houses are similar (gabled roof, chimney).
| A building with an intricately embossed facade, near the state capitol
at the corner of Beacon and Bowdoin.

| Other fancy buildings in a variety of styles near the same location.
| Lovely bay windows at another building in the vicinity.
| My dad observed that federal-style buildings without shutters look flat
and bland. This is a shot of an arbitrary such building.
| Buildings with shutters tend to look good. This building happens to
face Louisburg Square.
The picture is actually out of order in
this collection, solely placed in this position to make the shutter
contrast immediate.

| Mount Vernon Street.
| Ibid. There's a particularly charming building to the right of the tree
truck.
| The Public Garden has many weeping willows, and a lake with ducks.
The Make May For Ducklings statues are nearby. I photographed
them previously.
This time, two cute kids were playing on them, trying to ride the ducks.
The larger girl managed to do this quite well; her younger brother,
however, couldn't figure out how to lift his leg up properly to get on
top of the ducks.
| Downtown's skyline glowed at sunset, at seen from near the statue of George
Washington on a horse in the Public Garden.

| Light colored leaves blanked the ground in the Public Garden, as they did
in most places in the Boston and Cambridge area this week.
| An unusual rendering of the head of Arthur Fielder, a past conductor
of the Boston Pops.
| Cambridge, as seen from within the Charles River Reservation, on the south
side of the Charles River. If you look closely, you can see a duck tour boat
beneath one of the arches of Longfellow Bridge.
| The most stylish, well-integrated-into-the-neighborhood 7-11 ever. Gotta
love the sign.
