Ackislander, yea. Sort of like my first couple trips to Italy when I'd order a "latte" and then get puzzled when they brought me a cup of hot milk!

And your cocktail story is not unlike the time the cocktail server brought me some sickening sweet concoction with a straw. When I said "what is this?" he responded with "The Roy Rogers you ordered" to which I replied, "No, that was a Rob Roy".

Well at least No9 Park didn't serve you a Shirley Temple!

Neo, thought of you today when I read this item from the Boston Globe about the mural at Legal DX. http://www.bostonglobe.com/lifestyle...Section_Bottom

How funny I glanced at it and thought it was abstract. Didn't see a mountain or a woman. But I was focused on my cocktail.

Nice trip report! As for the Boston Cream Pie, I'm not sure I ever recall seeing it on a menu here. Maybe it's like going to France and ordering French Toast.

Actually, one of the best Boston cream pies I've had was at Legal. Not sure if its still on the menu, but it was really good. Although it was served as an individual pastry, not a wedge of pie.

Flour Bakery is known for their version of the classic. I haven't had it, but it does look good. http://www.bakepedia.com/best-boston-cream-pie-recipe/
