Hey Tom... How's it going?

BOSTON TRIP - PART 3 - in the PM

Dressed to the t's, we took the train downtown and walked a couple
of blocks over to the restaurant. It was perfect chilly fall weather.
Grill 23 was a high-end steakhouse that was boisterous and a lot
of fun [ LINK ]. Our table was late so we grabbed a drink at the bar.
(NOTE: overall drink prices - very reasonable in Boston)

We were seated a half hour late. Oh my god - the service and food
was spectacular! I had my first experience with a Kobe Beef steak,
a nice 10oz cut prepared exquisitely. Lauren had the 14oz Dry Aged
Ribeye that was also extremely good. The meat was so juicy and
basically melted in your mouth. The sides come separate so we had an
order of Asparagus. Overall, a 5 Star meal. HIGHLY recommended!!!

While we were eating, I'm pretty sure I saw Kevin Garnett leaving
the place. [ WHO ? ]


(Lobby at the Liberty Hotel)

We were full and it was late so we hopped a cab back to the hotel.
What didn't readily realize was our hotel was a "scene" on Friday and
Saturday nights. Between the lobby, lobby bar and BAR ALABI it was
packed! There was an hour wait to get in (we bypassed the line because
were hotel guests). LT & myself grabbed drinks at the lobby bar but
wanted to get out of our nice clothes. As we approached the elevator
bank, there was a commotion of women and pictures which we soon
realized was Tom Cruise taking pictures with people!!!
(Yes, THAT Tom Cruise)

We didn't have cameras or phones on us, so we decided it wasn't worth
the hassle, so we watched the melee for a minute then walked over and
waited for the elevator. While we were there, Tom and his entourage
approached. I said to Lauren she should say "HI" but as she was explaining
that she didn't want to be another one of the "WHOO-HOO!" girls, I stuck
out my hand and said "Hey Tom, How's it going??" He answered "Good, Good".
As we shook hands, he said "Hi" to Lauren and she squeeked out a "Hi" back
to him. And a second later, he was whisked off in the service elevator.

Once we were in our room, we jumped around, called and text everyone!
After wards we headed back to the bar for another round of drinks then
it was off to bed.
