Day 11, Dinner at Hennessy's just outside Fanueil Hall

Steak tip fajita wrap, with fries and a pickle

Shepherds pie

Well today we spent the day at Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market,  it was quite nice.We watched street performers, walked over to the water, and stopped into a few places to cool off (i.e., have some cocktails and watch the Red Sox game) First we went to Anthem, and then over to Durgin Park and couldn't quite find the perfect place to eat. Then i recalled having a wonderful meal a few years ago at a bar near the Purple Shamrock but could not recall the name. So we took a chance and scampered over there (it was a scorcher, so walking around was a chore) and thats when i saw Hennessy's and a light bulb went off over my head ! That was the place! Success , and they had a special on $2 Corona Lights today, so it was win win.  I had the shepherds pie, and it was pretty tasty.  Ground beef, carrots, peas, onions with a nice brown gravy and mashed potatoes on top.  The gravy was tasty, but a lil overwhelming, as much as you see on top it was filled with it inside too.  My friend Cathy got the steak tip fajita wrap, which she enjoyed but it could have had more steak and less sour cream she noted. i tried 1 of her fries, and they were tasty but over cooked (she then ruined them with ketchup, so i then chose to look away).  The meal wasn't what i hoped , but it was still pretty tasty and filling, it did both lunch and supper.  Although, we did  ice cream on the way home...soft serve ( i had pina colada, YUM !!) and then thanks to my friends being generous sharers, i got to try the watermelon soft serve and the vanilla too.  I liked mine the best, and wished i had taken a picture of it.  However, i thought the price was  Out -(wait for it)- Rageous !!  $8 FOR A CONE!! What am i , a billionaire?? 

I am glad i spent today catching up with old friends and going back to my old stomping grounds. 

Thats all for now, have a good night a good meal.
