Almost as much as I love to cook I love to go out and have really good, high quality food. That is why I have decided to share my experiences while traveling.
Travel with The Nici Farm
Boston – Sol Azteca (Mexican)
This beautifuly decorated Mexican restaurant located in Brookline is authentic, has high quality food and the service is especially friendly! Try the Shrimp fajitas with fresh Guacamole or chicken with typical Mexican Mole sauce. It will make your taste-buds dance Merengue. Their large variety of Margaritas is so tasty that it is easy to have one or two to many….

BOSTON: ZAFTIGS (Jewisch restaurant)
This is a fabolous place in Brookline to get realy good typical Jewisch delicacies like Gefillte Fisch, Matzo ball soup and towering high sandwiches with self made (lean) pastrami. The food is tasty, fresh and all self made (even the pickles) and the service is extraordinatily friendly and helpfull! Be sure to plan for a waiting time to be saeten ’cause it gets crouded. But it’s so worth it!

TRAVEL WITH THE NICI FARM
BOSTON: UNION OYSTER HOUSE
This fabulous seafood specialized restaurant is the oldest existing restaurant in the USA (since 1826). It is a beautiful, historic, cozy dark brick building made of dark wood inside. I had the Shore Diner and a home brewed dark beer. It was a huge, traditional Bostanian and fabulous set menu.
Appetizer: wonderful creamy CLAM CHOWDER and CORN BREAD
Main dish: A whole STEAMED LOBSTER and STEAMED MUSSELS served with seared butter. I just love the cracking and working to get to the tender flesh.
Sides: CORN on the cob, scalloped POTATOES
Desert: GINGER BREAD (but I was sooo stuffed I couldn’t even try it)
Price: market price (including beer I paid $58/€42), no worries this was the absolutely most expensive on the card but it could have served two!!
All in all it is not the cheapest place but the atmosphere and the delicious high quality seafood is so much worth it I will definitely go back soon (as soon as I can eat again)

THE NICI FARM GOES USA!
For the next 3 month The Nici-Farm and I have moved to Boston. Try out this great breakfast for champions.
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 organic fresh egg
1 piece of whole wheat toast
Cherry tomatoes
Lean ham
Cut a hole into the toast just a little bit larger than the egg yolk. Using a tissue wipe a pan with the oil and heat. Place toast inside of pan and slowly crack the egg into its middle. Add tomatoes and ham aside the toast. Cover pan and fry on medium heat until the egg is the texture you like for sunny-side up fried eggs (3-5 minutes). You can also flip it over to make a double fried egg.
