Thai Chicken Bowl from Koy
In the mood for something different, I head back to the Grubhub app and take a look at the map of downtown restaurants. I’m in the mood for a walk since it’s a perfect Friday afternoon and the Faneuil Hall location is the ideal distance from the office and right across the street from City Hall Plaza, where I plan to eat on a park bench.
Since I have a decent amount of mealperks left for the week, I spring for a Thai Chicken Bowl AND a spicy tuna roll at Koy. I enjoy my leisurely walk down to the restaurant to pick it up as the city bustles around me (the Pride parade is the next day, so imagine rainbow decorations being put up EVERYWHERE downtown and an uncommonly high amount of tourist traffic).
I find a nice spot outside to chow down with Haymarket and Faneuil Hall in the distance, and City Hall Plaza all around me. I’m grateful to be working downtown again so I can take in all the excitement and bustle of a city finally able to fully embrace the arrival of summer.
