The Daily Catch is a place in the North End where they serve you calamari in a pan. It’s pretty much only calamari and pasta — delicious.

TWELVE: ITALIANS MAKE GOOD DESSERTS. So does Ben & Jerry’s.  In Little Italy, there are great pastry shops. My boyfriend, Christopher, thinks Modern Pastry Shop is the best pastry shop in the North End. When I am there, I always take a walk up Newbury Street and hit the Ben & Jerry’s. That’s the best stop on the street, as far as I’m concerned.

THIRTEEN: SHE HAS VERY, VERY STRONG ARMS. There is a quite famous place — a place where I used to work, actually — on Newbury Street called Daisy Buchanan’s. I was just 18 when I worked there. It is a tiny, tiny little place in a basement. All the Red Sox players and the Bruins players and the Celtics players go there after games.

That was the hardest place in town to be a cocktail waitress. It was just packed, and there would be so many people in there that you couldn’t hold the tray in front of your body. You’d have to suspend the tray completely over your head. They used thick glass mugs, so it was heavy. And you had to hold the tray over your head while wearing high heels and a miniskirt. You have to wear high heels because all the guys in there are so tall because most of them are basketball players or football players. You develop great shoulder muscles, though.
