Bright Boston Day - Dark Turn of Events

After Sandy and a November snow all in 2 weeks, Boston was finally blessed with a weekend of sunshine and--dare I call 61 degrees--warmth? I, along with a partner in crime, decided to seized the day by following the Lucky City Guide of Boston. The sunshine consequently melted into brooding darkness with all these romantically seductive wintry finds.
