Aura, The Seaport Hotel, Boston, MA USA

I got the email halfway through breakfast: “Would you like to join Jim and Marianna for lunch at Aura?” I knew we had a 1pm meeting, but my plan was to eat my big breakfast laid out before me and have lunch after we met, so this curveball threw me for a loop. Then I […]
