Following with Sylvester family tradition we took a trip into the North End to Cafe Graffiti, Salamaria, and Haymarket. I had been looking forward to an authentic cappuccino for months. It was delicious. Nothing tops it.

We waited at Salamaria for about 40 minutes along with many other people to get our cold cuts and Romano cheese. Most of the Italians wanted baccala (dried fish). Notice the large cheese hanging from the ceiling. It weighs so much.

After Salamaria we waited at the butcher shop to get the fresh pieces of veal. It was so interesting watching all the meat that was cut and sold. It is so expensive, but so yummy. What a treat to eat our traditional veal parmigiania for Christmas Eve.
