exciting announcement at the end! thank you guys for all the support over the years and I hope this change makes both of our experiences even better hahaa
After watching your vlog channel for a few years and then expanding to your book channel, it’s been fun to see the ways that you’re making content for both channels at the same time during the day but it’s refreshing and enjoyable? It’s like being in two different group chats with the same person but the topics are completely different
been living in boston for the past two years! here are some recommendations - coolidge corner theatre. it's a bit more in the suburbs (still in boston accessible by transit), but it's a lovely local theatre in a very cute area with a nice bookstore (brookline booksmith), a creperie, and a few japanese specialty stores. - museum of fine arts and isabella stewart gardner museum! mfa is a lovely classic art museum, isabella stewart gardner is a bit more boston-specific - it's a small personal collection on the grounds of this gorgeous estate. - modern pastry! alternative to mike's pastry, definitely feels like more of a local spot. try the amaretto cake with a shot of espresso - that's my little treat every saturday morning. while you're on that street, duck into bricco salumeria. it's a cute little sandwich shop in an alley that sells fresh pasta and other italian goods. even if you don't buy anything, the layout is just so cool. in that area, i've also heard a lot of people recommend carmelina's italian restaurant - the italian food in the north end on the whole is absolutely worth checking out. - veggie galaxy!! as a fellow vegetarian, this is a must-try place in cambridge. classic american diner vibes with delicious, delicious food. this place is extremely popular among both vegetarians and meat eaters for a reason. while you're there, check out cheapo records and a few of the other cute shops in that area. - phinista is a wonderful little vietnamese cafe in fenway that i would highly recommend. grab a drink/eat there, then walk to the fens and sit by the river with a book. - harvard square is definitely worth a visit if you've never been. if you feel like it, catch a show at the sinclair! it's a cool space with generally inexpensive shows and its a great thing to do in the area. - get a breakfast sandwich at mike & patty's!! its a charming little (and i mean LITTLE) place located very close to downtown, but somehow it magically feels sequestered in this quiet, charming nook of the south end that feels like it hasn't been touched since the colonial period. grab your food and walk over to the boston common. sit by the lake and people-watch. unparalleled experience. - render coffee! located again in the quiet and picturesque south end, it's a townhouse renovated to be a coffee shop. sit in the sunroom or on the back porch and enjoy the quiet morning - farmer horse coffee is another coffee shop located very close to render. it's typically a bit more lively and has some nice eclectic decor - take a walk from the park street station down through boston common and onto commonwealth ave. my favorite walk - both the common and commonwealth ave are absolutely beautiful (maybe the most beautiful places in boston). the common is like a mini central park, and commonwealth ave is just lined with rows of the most beautiful townhouses. end your walk at the public library and check out the stunning bates hall. maybe even make a reservation in the tea room in the library if you so desire. - go shopping on newbury street, and eat at red white ramen. it's an all-vegan ramen shop that is just absolutely phenomenal. it's the real deal. okay that was a lot but that is literally everything i can think of. have a good trip!!
OH MY GOD!! I just rewatched all of your plot summary videos (I work 12 hour shifts lol) and I was thinking I can’t wait for her to make more. I’m sorry about your injury! Very excited for the plot summary and congratulations on joining the management team! 🥰
I really love both this channel and your book channel! 🤍🤍🤍 And it's so amazing that you've been doing it all alone. I can totally relate to how hard it is to keep up with the plans / dreams versus reality since I also have a TH-cam channel, I feel you so much! Happy to hear that you'll get some help from the management. And I'm definitely excited to see your upcoming content! Sending hugs and love ~
Coming down from a great and crazy music festival weekend, and not a better way to do it than with a Cari vlog. Congrats on the management news, I hope the experience lives up to your expectations. You've done such a great job in these years I've been watching you. I'm always happy and proud of your achivements! Get well soon from your injury, and looking forward for what comes next.
As a virgo who loves to bake because it's basically an exact science, I died a little inside at your measuring of the milk 😂 the scones look so yummy though 😊
I don’t know how else to say this but i feel so proud and happy for you 😂❤️ I’m so excited for all the new things happening for you and look forward to all the wonderful the opportunities that come your way 🌸
Ahhhhh!!! Mortal instruments plot breakdown- I’m so excited!! I recently just started reading the books and I’m obsessed, people neeeed to get into the series because its so much fun!!
try taking kurt to Top Golf! i know, its a weird rec, but trust me on this that its less about the golf and more about the hanging out w food and drinks
congratulations on joining a management!!!! it's a great way to make things easier for yourself and save time :) I'm glad you joined one that you trust and that seems to care for you
The Little Mermaid came out when my oldest daughter was 1. Needless to say, it was on repeat constantly and the sings became part of every day. We even recorded the movie on a cassette so we could play it in the car which was amazing on a long car ride. Came back when my youngest daughter was little. Looking forward to seeing with my daughters now.
Hello! my advice as long time scone maker is to mix the batter as little as possible till they just come together and still crumbly . The more you mix they tougher/ dry they become. Also if you place them close together when baking they help each other rise and become fluffy. I always thought it was a great metaphor if we stick together we rise together hehe.
Congratulations Cari, it's nice to see you feeling good! Because I don't often comment, just a message to say thanks for your Korea videos - I just got back from Seoul and Busan, and I don't think I would have known how much there is to see in Korea but for your videos. I had an absolute ball (I was at the MMCA a few days before you!) and your videos are so much more exciting to watch now that I can place some of the locations. Thanks again!
Excited for you! I hope this change will give you room for creativity and many new wonderful opportunties. I look foward to everything, I really love and enjoy both your channels ❤ Hope you‘ll feel Betten soon with your injury.
How exciting Cari!! Hope this new work management thing goes well to you, I'm sure its gonna be great 😊 You look really happy and at peace in your latest vlogs, i hope you truly feel that way and your next few months sounds like a lot of fun ❤ Sending much love your way from cold and rainy south america 😅❤
Congratulations on the management deal that’s huge!!!! Also holy shit you’re doing the shadow hunters book serious welp time to hop on over to your book channel to listen up 😊😊
congrats on joining your new management! 🫶 excited for the content ahead! i also just want to thank you for your content because your videos just remind me that life is beautiful and great and there's a lot in the world that is good if we just stop to appreciate them ❤️❤️ love from the philippines!
i first watched your vlogs because of crochet, but i noticed that you haven't had a crochet vlog for a while now. however, i have been LOVING these peaceful life updates and seoul vlogs :>
Oh my God! Cari! So exciting that you might be coming to Boston. I've lived here my whole life. Some suggestions: Ogawa coffee shop in a newish Japanese coffee shop in Downtown, expensive but gorgeous lattes! 1369 coffee shop is also great and has two locations, I usually go for the Central square one as its close to Harvard. For bookstores I would recommend the Brookline Booksmith in Coolidge corner and Beacon Hill Books (look up videos, it's in a beautiful neighborhood). Ganko Ittetsu ramen also in Coolidge corner is great, as is Tora Japanese restaurant in chinatown for sashimi bowls, and Grendel's tavern in Harvard square is a really old tavern/restarant (I studied in Scotland and it has such a Scottish pub vibe). Definitely stop by the North end as well. I know you don't drink much, but there is a really cool speakeasy in the Seaport called 'Drink' where they have no menu, but will make something up on the spot according to your preferences. It's a long wait so I'd recommend getting there when they open. Lastly, if you have time, Providence is a great city too and only about an hour by train. Anyway! Hope you enjoy your time in the city! I hope someday you can do a meetup here!
extremely random but I love the outfit you're wearing at like 11:46. it looks so comfy and cool. also I read that book a couple years ago and it's such a spring/summer vibe!
my fav boston area bookstore is brookline booksmith!! not technically boston but super accessible by transit and the neighborhood is so great for wandering! trident is also great and has an attached cafe but it can get overwhelmingly crowded
Congratulations Cari! It is so so so soo nice to see your channel and the book channel grows!! Looking forward to what the future holds..! Also its been raining so much in Tokyo-- Hope it's better in Seoul!
Omg I was so surprised to hear you say shout out Braintree! I live right near there! Hope you enjoy Boston - there's lots of good new and used independent bookstores around!
Happy to know that there’s someone who can help you now 🥰 Rooting for more great content of yours & have more time for yourself & Kurt. 🫶🏻 Stay healthy and happy, always! 🌻💚
NYC is my favorite personally so I'm a bit biased. I loved Yellowface too--gave it 5 stars on Goodreads. I thought it was fascinating how she basically mirrored the Chinese workers' situation with what June did to Athena. Yet she did manage to make all the characters pretty relatable as well. I just started Babel now but I definitely intend to go onto Poppy War eventually (I mean, I need to--there's a book called Republic of Dragons, how could I pass that up?). Have a great weekend, Cari!
i think i've got kurt fully on board with nyc thankfully! and yes i love how she really came for everyone while still making it so realistic. scary that she didnt have to exaggerate anything for people to be villainous.
The “if you were even alive” comment about the Shadowhunter series hurt, don’t make us feel even older 😂😂😂 super excited for that video and so happy and excited for you with your new management company adventure 🥹🎉
yay boston! I'm in the Cambridge/Somervill/Arlington side of things but I love living here so much - especially the walkability of everything. if you want a bit of hiking more in the city I would recommend middlesex fells or blue hills (just for a bit of a different kind of recommendation) . also definitely recommend toscanini's ice cream and asmara Eritrean restaurant in central, and then also just davis square in general has lots of fun food options and good vibes - including candlepin bowling!
I’m late but Boston book store recs! Brookline Booksmith (in Brookline) - New and used Harvard Bookstore (in Cambridge, not actually affiliated with Harvard but just across the street) - new and used Trident Booksellers (on Newbury Street) - new
Boston book stores: Brookline Booksmith is a great bookstore, it’s also close to Kupel’s, which has great bagels and Jewish pastries, and Coolidge Corner Theater which is independent and does a lot of screenings of old/indie/cult films. Also of course Trident which doubles as a brunch place. And Harvard Book Store, Raven Used Books and Million Year Picnic are all in Harvard Sq. I live in Somerville so can give lots more recs!
Brookline Booksmith is one of my favorite bookstores! Also recently went to Castle Island in Southie which is great for a nice day. They have a lil food shack and a long trail as well as a 'beach'
brookline booksmith in coolidge corner is my favorite bookstore in boston! and a couple blocks down the street is kupel bakery for great bagels. also my favorite place to read is on the esplande which is right next to the charles river
Bostonian here! Beacon Hill Bookstore is an absolutely stunning bookstore you will love in the Beacon Hill area. Not the largest selection, but feels like you are transported into a highly aesthetic children’s book! Also, have you been to Salem? Great day trip from Boston on the commuter rail. Especially in the autumn 😍
I've lived in Providence for nearly 15 years and still feel like I've only done the touristy things in Boston, so very excited for your trip videos!! (Honestly we only go into Boston for concerts anymore but I'd like to change that and start going back up just to explore a bit.)
Cari! Dear, you gotta have whipped cream with scones 😂 You just gotta. It's the rules 😅 Also they looked great and I LOVE Bonne Maman Jams and DREAM of finding those little jars because they are so stinkin' cute. Also Also, there is just something so satisfying about putting away the previous season's clothing or clearing out unwanted clothes to donate which is what I did today. It is honestly cathartic. Idk lol Anyway thanks for another great video, it's a Sunday ritual for me (usually while having my breakfast)
Oh I have some family friends who I stayed with in Braintree once, how funny. Anyway, I once visited a friend who lived in Brookline not far from the T in Boston - that’s a nice neighborhood to visit. Remember there being some good Jewish eateries/bakeries and a historical house in that area (though there are a lot of those in Boston generally lol). Also Boston has some good hot pot places - wish I remembered the name of the one I went to but I see there’s one in that neighborhood.
Don't know if you're planning to pop over to Cambridge while you are visiting Boston, but Cicada is amazing for coffee and pastries in the morning, lunch, or dinner--they have the best back patio/garden (would have to make a reservation for dinner). Faro is a very sweet coffee shop in Harvard square that I think you'd like. Bosso (ramen) in Harvard square is great and has fun drinks, as does Source (pizza). Zuzu's Petals is a great dessert and wine place. Black Sheep Bagels is amazing, but you have to get there early. Pepita coffee is my favorite spot for coffee and breakfast, and it turns into Lamplighter brewery in the PM if you like beer. I'm in Cambridge now for grad school and was fully expecting to hate it, but it has been an amazing place to live, can definitely walk or bike or catch the train or bus to get literally anywhere you want to go and it is very pretty. In the actual city of Boston, you definitely obviously have to walk around the Old North End and get Italian food.
Very cool that there's an artist called Jenova and their work is in an exhibition about the impact of gaming on culture. Hope your leg feels better & congrats on getting new management!
Oufff not gonna lie I love all of Cassandra Clare’s books 😂😂😂 I really enjoyed the infernal devices. Haven’t gotten around to reading the last hours yet.
so exciting that you're coming to boston!! you should check out papercuts bookstore in jamaica plain, and take a walk in the arnold arboretum close by. i sometimes take myself on a little solo date there and feel like i'm in one of your videos. i hope you and kurt have such a nice trip!
If you are able to get to the Hi Hostel in Boston in funky Chinatown but the other direction 5 blocks away has upscale Four Seasons hotel & nice cafes.
Congratulations for the scones, fyi we say scone as in gone . Definitely going to try in baking them in the air fryer so thank you for the recipe link.
I've been in Korea from early May and felt the shift from chilly to now hot & humid. I relate on the desire to be inside haha also the photo book looks amazinggg, would love to see photos from the 60's in Seoul
My Boston rec's are Pavement Coffehouse for really great bagel sandwhiches (actual coffee is okay, matcha is great though) and Trident Booksellers is a fun bookstore in the Newbury area that has a cafe in the bookstore. There's also the smallest Trader Joe's nearby that is a fun stop. Another bookstore rec is Brookline Booksmith, which has a decent secondhand selection in it's basement. There's a tiny park in the Fenway area that was my reprieve through college called the Dorothy Ramler Park, it's kind of hidden but very peaceful. There's really good boba at a place called M&J Teriyaki in that area as well.
beacon hill books and cafe is so cute! also Harvard bookstore is great and really close to my favorite coffee shop, faro! if youre looking for other things I love the garment district for thrifting!
Go to Sarma Restaurant in Boston. It’s a tapas place and it’s AMAZING. My friend has been living there for years and always takes whoever visits her there.
exciting announcement at the end! thank you guys for all the support over the years and I hope this change makes both of our experiences even better hahaa
🩵🩵
So excited for you! It’s a step but a step worth taking.
After watching your vlog channel for a few years and then expanding to your book channel, it’s been fun to see the ways that you’re making content for both channels at the same time during the day but it’s refreshing and enjoyable? It’s like being in two different group chats with the same person but the topics are completely different
lol thank you so much! i feel sort of similar actually hahahha
For anyone who's interested, the photography book is When the Spring Wind Blows by Han Youngsoo.
yes!
Can I just say how much I appreciate that you have accurate subtitles on your videos?? Thank you for taking the time to do that!
as someone who watches both your channels, i always love these little crossovers 😊 because your everyday life influences your reading and vice versa
thank you :'''')
Sunday mornings aren’t the same without Cari lol thank you so much for the new video 🫶🏻
thank YOU! happy sunday!
been living in boston for the past two years! here are some recommendations
- coolidge corner theatre. it's a bit more in the suburbs (still in boston accessible by transit), but it's a lovely local theatre in a very cute area with a nice bookstore (brookline booksmith), a creperie, and a few japanese specialty stores.
- museum of fine arts and isabella stewart gardner museum! mfa is a lovely classic art museum, isabella stewart gardner is a bit more boston-specific - it's a small personal collection on the grounds of this gorgeous estate.
- modern pastry! alternative to mike's pastry, definitely feels like more of a local spot. try the amaretto cake with a shot of espresso - that's my little treat every saturday morning. while you're on that street, duck into bricco salumeria. it's a cute little sandwich shop in an alley that sells fresh pasta and other italian goods. even if you don't buy anything, the layout is just so cool. in that area, i've also heard a lot of people recommend carmelina's italian restaurant - the italian food in the north end on the whole is absolutely worth checking out.
- veggie galaxy!! as a fellow vegetarian, this is a must-try place in cambridge. classic american diner vibes with delicious, delicious food. this place is extremely popular among both vegetarians and meat eaters for a reason. while you're there, check out cheapo records and a few of the other cute shops in that area.
- phinista is a wonderful little vietnamese cafe in fenway that i would highly recommend. grab a drink/eat there, then walk to the fens and sit by the river with a book.
- harvard square is definitely worth a visit if you've never been. if you feel like it, catch a show at the sinclair! it's a cool space with generally inexpensive shows and its a great thing to do in the area.
- get a breakfast sandwich at mike & patty's!! its a charming little (and i mean LITTLE) place located very close to downtown, but somehow it magically feels sequestered in this quiet, charming nook of the south end that feels like it hasn't been touched since the colonial period. grab your food and walk over to the boston common. sit by the lake and people-watch. unparalleled experience.
- render coffee! located again in the quiet and picturesque south end, it's a townhouse renovated to be a coffee shop. sit in the sunroom or on the back porch and enjoy the quiet morning
- farmer horse coffee is another coffee shop located very close to render. it's typically a bit more lively and has some nice eclectic decor
- take a walk from the park street station down through boston common and onto commonwealth ave. my favorite walk - both the common and commonwealth ave are absolutely beautiful (maybe the most beautiful places in boston). the common is like a mini central park, and commonwealth ave is just lined with rows of the most beautiful townhouses. end your walk at the public library and check out the stunning bates hall. maybe even make a reservation in the tea room in the library if you so desire.
- go shopping on newbury street, and eat at red white ramen. it's an all-vegan ramen shop that is just absolutely phenomenal. it's the real deal.
okay that was a lot but that is literally everything i can think of. have a good trip!!
OH MY GOD!! I just rewatched all of your plot summary videos (I work 12 hour shifts lol) and I was thinking I can’t wait for her to make more. I’m sorry about your injury! Very excited for the plot summary and congratulations on joining the management team! 🥰
Thank you thank you and hopefully at the end of this month you’ll have the first installment!!
It's always a good day when Cari uploads! 😊
:''') hope the good day continues!
LMAO I thought for a second you were using cooking spray on your face and I was like "girl that's for the scones!"
LOL!! its my green tea cooling mist 😂😂😂
Same!! 😂😂😂
I really love both this channel and your book channel! 🤍🤍🤍 And it's so amazing that you've been doing it all alone. I can totally relate to how hard it is to keep up with the plans / dreams versus reality since I also have a TH-cam channel, I feel you so much! Happy to hear that you'll get some help from the management. And I'm definitely excited to see your upcoming content!
Sending hugs and love ~
thank you so much and hope you find time to remember to dream bigger too!
I caught a cold yesterday so I’m not feeling the best, but your video made this morning brighter 🤍 Thank you as always and hope you’re doing good!
Get well soon 🥹🥹🥹
Every time I watch any of cari's videos, I'm definitely left with a smile and a calm mind with hopes. I really love this precious human❤️.

As a virgo who loves to bake because it's basically an exact science, I died a little inside at your measuring of the milk 😂 the scones look so yummy though 😊
My virgo husband who is the same way says the scones were indeed yummy 😂 i cant let him watch my baking experiments
the moment you said "I LOVE MY JOB'' is just ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥

Congrats on the management! Also I hope your leg is ok now ❤ Thank you for another beautiful video. I enjoyed the cross over too!

Love Dotori Garden! Stumbled upon it by accident on my recent trip, and went there so many times.
Truly the best hidden gem!

9:05 love this , so good at bringing out character and essence of cafes
That cafe was stunning!
Enjoying a cup of coffee on a sun morning with your video.
This make sun morning special.
good morning!
Love that you went to the movie by yourself. I’ve only been to one by myself once but I really enjoyed it and want to do it again
Hello! my advice as long time scone maker is to mix the batter as little as possible till they just come together and still crumbly . The more you mix they tougher/ dry they become.

19:34 thats so cute i had to replay 3 times 😅
20:09 this part is also really cute haha just the way that you say okay
Everyone i know in Boston loves it! The management team is exciting. I've always been impressed with how much you do on your own.
Thank you!!!
Congratulations Cari! It is so so so soo nice to see your channel and the book channel grows!! Looking forward to what the future holds..! Also its been raining so much in Tokyo-- Hope it's better in Seoul!

The “if you were even alive” comment about the Shadowhunter series hurt, don’t make us feel even older 😂😂😂 super excited for that video and so happy and excited for you with your new management company adventure 🥹🎉
The ages of some of the people on my book channel truly shocks me to my core hahahha
yay boston! I'm in the Cambridge/Somervill/Arlington side of things but I love living here so much - especially the walkability of everything. if you want a bit of hiking more in the city I would recommend middlesex fells or blue hills (just for a bit of a different kind of recommendation) . also definitely recommend toscanini's ice cream and asmara Eritrean restaurant in central, and then also just davis square in general has lots of fun food options and good vibes - including candlepin bowling!
Congrats to the BEAUTIFUL couple!
I’m late but Boston book store recs!
Brookline Booksmith (in Brookline) - New and used
Harvard Bookstore (in Cambridge, not actually affiliated with Harvard but just across the street) - new and used
Trident Booksellers (on Newbury Street) - new
Boston book stores: Brookline Booksmith is a great bookstore, it’s also close to Kupel’s, which has great bagels and Jewish pastries, and Coolidge Corner Theater which is independent and does a lot of screenings of old/indie/cult films.
Also of course Trident which doubles as a brunch place. And Harvard Book Store, Raven Used Books and Million Year Picnic are all in Harvard Sq.
I live in Somerville so can give lots more recs!
Hi Cari I just wanted to say that your hair looks really nice and healthy in this video okay bye
Thanks so much!
Brookline Booksmith is one of my favorite bookstores! Also recently went to Castle Island in Southie which is great for a nice day. They have a lil food shack and a long trail as well as a 'beach'
Lol! I'm a mom and I totally love your vlogs! :)
❤❤❤
omg I just saw this video. I know Soomin! Hope they have great marriage and hope you always happy and healthy, Cari!
Best way to spend my Sunday. Thanks for sharing!❤❤
OMG! I was going to tell you I’ve been anxiously awaiting the return of the rice cooker baking series. HA! But I’m into the air fryer scones.
thank you :''''''''''''')
Omg Boston!! Yess!!! Boston is honestly such a great city to live in. It's not cheap for sure but I love it here!
🙏🙏🙏
brookline booksmith in coolidge corner is my favorite bookstore in boston! and a couple blocks down the street is kupel bakery for great bagels. also my favorite place to read is on the esplande which is right next to the charles river
those scones rlly look so yummy
i was shocked to hear you talking about Boston cuz i’m from MA 😁
Bostonian here! Beacon Hill Bookstore is an absolutely stunning bookstore you will love in the Beacon Hill area. Not the largest selection, but feels like you are transported into a highly aesthetic children’s book! Also, have you been to Salem? Great day trip from Boston on the commuter rail. Especially in the autumn 😍
Yesyes and yes to these! Thank you!
I had finished my coffee by the time you showed your plot breakdown wall, so the YES I uttered was a fully-caffeinated one.
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
yayyy ! new video !
wahhhh thank you!
I've lived in Providence for nearly 15 years and still feel like I've only done the touristy things in Boston, so very excited for your trip videos!! (Honestly we only go into Boston for concerts anymore but I'd like to change that and start going back up just to explore a bit.)
Congrats Cari! can't wait for the next video! 💖
thank you!!
Cari! Dear, you gotta have whipped cream with scones 😂 You just gotta. It's the rules 😅
Also they looked great and I LOVE Bonne Maman Jams and DREAM of finding those little jars because they are so stinkin' cute.
Also Also, there is just something so satisfying about putting away the previous season's clothing or clearing out unwanted clothes to donate which is what I did today.
It is honestly cathartic. Idk lol
Anyway thanks for another great video, it's a Sunday ritual for me (usually while having my breakfast)
Oh I have some family friends who I stayed with in Braintree once, how funny. Anyway, I once visited a friend who lived in Brookline not far from the T in Boston - that’s a nice neighborhood to visit. Remember there being some good Jewish eateries/bakeries and a historical house in that area (though there are a lot of those in Boston generally lol). Also Boston has some good hot pot places - wish I remembered the name of the one I went to but I see there’s one in that neighborhood.
Don't know if you're planning to pop over to Cambridge while you are visiting Boston, but Cicada is amazing for coffee and pastries in the morning, lunch, or dinner--they have the best back patio/garden (would have to make a reservation for dinner). Faro is a very sweet coffee shop in Harvard square that I think you'd like. Bosso (ramen) in Harvard square is great and has fun drinks, as does Source (pizza). Zuzu's Petals is a great dessert and wine place. Black Sheep Bagels is amazing, but you have to get there early. Pepita coffee is my favorite spot for coffee and breakfast, and it turns into Lamplighter brewery in the PM if you like beer. I'm in Cambridge now for grad school and was fully expecting to hate it, but it has been an amazing place to live, can definitely walk or bike or catch the train or bus to get literally anywhere you want to go and it is very pretty. In the actual city of Boston, you definitely obviously have to walk around the Old North End and get Italian food.
Marked these all down! And yes the italian bakeries in north end are always a stop 🥹😂😂
14:26 that’s typical riding on the MTA subway
lol but felt a little less scary hahaha
@@caricakes I’m really surprised that happened in Seoul.
Very cool that there's an artist called Jenova and their work is in an exhibition about the impact of gaming on culture. Hope your leg feels better & congrats on getting new management!
Oufff not gonna lie I love all of Cassandra Clare’s books 😂😂😂 I really enjoyed the infernal devices. Haven’t gotten around to reading the last hours yet.
oh same! but mortal instruments is definitely her worst work hahaha
so exciting that you're coming to boston!! you should check out papercuts bookstore in jamaica plain, and take a walk in the arnold arboretum close by. i sometimes take myself on a little solo date there and feel like i'm in one of your videos. i hope you and kurt have such a nice trip!
If you are able to get to the Hi Hostel in Boston in funky Chinatown but the other direction 5 blocks away has upscale Four Seasons hotel & nice cafes.
Congratulations for the scones, fyi we say scone as in gone .
Definitely going to try in baking them in the air fryer so thank you for the recipe link.
my grammy used to say scone like sun or gun hahaha
omgg cari so happy for you💓💓 I actually knew you by cari can reads so im really excited for that new chapter of the channel 🥰 sending hugs for youu
thank you so much!!!
I've been in Korea from early May and felt the shift from chilly to now hot & humid. I relate on the desire to be inside haha also the photo book looks amazinggg, would love to see photos from the 60's in Seoul
Cari! Never turn the cookie cutter for scones as it prevents the rising! 😱😂 (made me really hungry though 💕)
My Boston rec's are Pavement Coffehouse for really great bagel sandwhiches (actual coffee is okay, matcha is great though) and Trident Booksellers is a fun bookstore in the Newbury area that has a cafe in the bookstore. There's also the smallest Trader Joe's nearby that is a fun stop. Another bookstore rec is Brookline Booksmith, which has a decent secondhand selection in it's basement. There's a tiny park in the Fenway area that was my reprieve through college called the Dorothy Ramler Park, it's kind of hidden but very peaceful. There's really good boba at a place called M&J Teriyaki in that area as well.
oh my goodness THANK YOU! you had me at bagel sandwich hahahha
@@caricakes I hope you enjoy if you end up going to one!! I'm their #1 fan so I always rec them to everyone lol
beacon hill books and cafe is so cute! also Harvard bookstore is great and really close to my favorite coffee shop, faro! if youre looking for other things I love the garment district for thrifting!
Prince Erin’s new song reminded me too much of bet on it from High School Musical 2 😅 I was just laughing so hard!
I saw someone put that song on in the background and it matched up too well 😂😂
You should try Cut 21 in Revere Beach and take a stroll along the beach
Go to Sarma Restaurant in Boston. It’s a tapas place and it’s AMAZING. My friend has been living there for years and always takes whoever visits her there.
I live 30min south of Boston and I would LOOVVEEE book club together or a lil meet up once in a while! I actually found you from your book channel❤
I’m from Massachusetts, so very excited you’d consider living in Boston! It’s been a while but I enjoy browsing the Brookline Booksmith.
That is at the tip top of my list
