For spring break 2025, my mom and I decided to go to Boston, Massachusetts. I had an appointment there, so we decided to make a trip out of it. In Boston, we stayed near Chinatown, which is located about 2-3 blocks away. While downtown, we walked around and grabbed a bite at an amazing Chinese restaurant called Nan Xiang Express, a great soup dumpling place. My mom and I shared a bowl of veggie fried rice and two orders of pork soup dumplings — delicious! 

While we were there, we also went shopping down Newbury St. Some of the stores we stopped in were Nordstrom Rack, H&M, and of course the three-story ZARA. After a long day of shopping, we stopped in a nice French restaurant, La Voile, to enjoy a nice pizza. Then we were directed to a famous Italian artisanal ice cream dessert place just down the street called Amorino. They made me a cone of ice cream in the shape of a rose. 

Overall, my experience in Boston was amazing. I recommend taking a trip to Boston, shopping down Newbury St., and visiting Chinatown.
