The cheese caves were dope


 
  Today we headed off campus on a school bus with the Walking in Boston winter term class to Cambridge. It was a long ride, but finally we arrived had arrived at our destination, Formaggio Kitchen. Upon walking inside the first thing i notice was the famed Parmesano Regiano cheese, which obviously we had to try. After walking around the store and sampling some cheese, we heded below the store in seperate groups to check out the cheese caves. They were small, damp, humid, and smelled of cheese. It was unreal. Then we split and headed to Hi-Rise for a snack while waiting for the bus. Kids bought some sandwiches and coffee, then we headed back to Formaggio to catch the bus. Next, we ventured to Iggy's, a small store that is renown for its bread. Once there we bought a few slices of their unique pizza. I had the Spicy Salami, which was basically pepperoni pizza on steroids. We admired the Francese bread the looked like a turtle shell while getting to know a little more about Iggy's from the owner. We then changed venues again and went to Union Square Donuts. They were famous for their maple and bacon donut according to Josh, the founder of the joint. Last but not least, we took a tour of the Taza chocolate factory. We learned the ins and outs of their business, and just about everything there is to know about cocoa. We repped some stylish hairnets and filled up on dark chocolate. Finally, it was time to go home. We hopped on the bus, picked up the Walking in Boston kids, and headed back to Brooks. It was a stellar day.
