Mike’s Pastry
On this episode, I’ll take you on a visit to one of the hotspots of Boston’s Italian North End: Mike’s Pastry.
The North End is the place to go for food in Boston. With almost 90 restaurants packed into a neighborhood smaller than some parking lots, some may find the number of choices overwhelming. But no matter where they eat dinner, thousands of people get dessert at Mike’s every day.
My guest is Guy, an employee of Mike’s for 25 years. Now the Executive Chef, he knows just about everything about the place.
The Circus
At one point or another, many of us have wanted to run off and join the circus. So, to find out what it’s really like, I found someone who did.
Ten years ago, Donald Covington joined the Big Apple Circus after retiring from the Navy. He is now the show’s Company Manger.
I caught up with him during the last performance of their stay in downtown Boston.
