Beautiful Boston Public Library @ Boston, Massachusetts

It's hard to believe that a humble looking library building from outside but have a spectacular architecture inside. This place was not in my place to visit initially. But from exterior of this library seems fascinating. From the old books, to the courtyard and beauty of every room, it's worth your time to visit. The Reading Room upstairs is a lovely place to sit and read among many people. The reading room is like hogwarts as in Harry Potter movie. Amazingly Boston public library is the second largest library in United States. The library also full of history and unique architecture as it was more than 100 years old and established since 1852.

Best sea bass from Atlantic Fish Company @ Boston, Massachusetts

Atlantic Fish Company located within walking distance from central of Boston Copley light rail station. The restaurant is quite popular. I arrived at around 6.00pm and it's already crowded. I choose this restaurant as it's convenient for me and it's near to Boston Public library and Newbury street. My next stop is going to be the Museum of Fine Arts. Since its wednesday night, the museum have pay as you wish entrance fee. So, I opt for a quick dinner here then straight to the museum. The food that I ordered which is their pan seared sea bass was amazing delicious but the price is at the high side. Environment and service here were good as well.
