Seriously, long weekends are the best. Even though this weekend was the coldest weekend in Boston in ages, I still got out so I can't complain.
Since it was too cold to snowboard, the snowboard crew met up for dinner at New Golden Gate in Chinatown. And we ate lots of food.
Seafood soup - one of my favorite things to get when there are enough people. Didn't hurt that it was freezing out.

Clam with vermicelli - yum.
Crispy pork intestines on pickled vegetables - sounds weird, I know. But it's really good. Kind of like eating crispy duck or pork skin.
Salt and pepper calamari and silver fish - also yum.
Pea pod stems - because it isn't a proper dinner in Chinatown without it.
Sweet and sour pork - okay, but they ordered it with the bones, and these little nuggets would be better without bones, at least to me.
Scallops with vermicelli - garlicky and delicious, but after the clam, eating this one small piece of scallop is not as satisfying.
Dungeness crab.
Chinatown is great for lots of good, cheap food. No fuss. I do wish I had gotten a bowl of rice though. We also went to Kung Fu Tea after, and it was okay, but I still prefer Tea Do. And just like that, the coldest day in Boston is over.
