- Hey, everyone, Gunnarolla here
and I'm back with another travel video with CIBC Aventura.
Today we're heading out to Boston, Massachusets,
for the ultimate foodie adventure.
They've got oysters, lobster rolls,
and we can't leave without trying their famous cannoli.
I've got my flight ticket and my CIBC Aventura card.
Let's roll.
Being somewhere new is always exciting,
but the process of getting there isn't always fun.
My CIBC Aventura offers some new benefits
that help to take some of the stress out of travel.
Cardholders get a rebate off of the Nexus application fee.
Nexus is a trusted traveler program
which makes it a lot easier to cross the border
between Canada and the U.S.
If you travel a lot like me,
this program is essential to cutting down your wait times.
Once I pass through Customs and Immigration,
I also get complementary access to many airport lounges,
a space away from the hustle and bustle of the main terminal
where I can relax and get some snacks.
And I have access to the Aventura travel assistant
to help plan my trip without any booking fees.
My CIBC Aventura helps take some of the pressure
off of travel so that I can focus on planning an experience
that is tailored to my interests.
And today I'm interested in food.
Let's get going.
- [Flight Attendant] Welcome to Boston.
Please remain seated with your seatbelt fastened
and your cabin baggage stowed.
- I'm in Boston.
Look who it is.
You ready to eat?
- [Will] Ready to eat.
Let's do this. - Let's go.
Will's got a bit of a sweet tooth.
I'm more into savory.
So I think we're gonna make a good combo today.
First stop, Boston cream pie
at the birthplace of Boston cream pie, Omni Parker House.
(upbeat music)
Okay, heading to Neptune Oyster next.
This is apparently where we can get the best lobster roll.
Just put our name down on the list.
It's 45 minutes to an hour wait.
In the mean time, there's more food to try.
Look at these pastries, oh my god.
- [Will] I have so much choice here.
- [Gunnarolla] Here's my plan.
We're gonna save the cannoli.
We're gonna eat the lobster tail right now.
(laughing)
Gotta stay caffeinated.
- Living the Bostonian dream here.
(laughing) Coffee and cannoli.
- All right, we just got the call.
You ready to stuff your face with seafood?
- [Will] Oh yeah. - Let's do this!
We're gonna get oysters.
We're gonna get a hot lobster roll.
And we're getting clam chowder.
Cheers.
- Cheers.
Chewed into it and it just kinda burst.
- That's how mine did.
It went psh.
- [Waitress] Lobster roll.
- Wow, it's lobster.
- Oh.
Lobster roll.
The king of seafood.
Bon appetit.
- Bon appetit.
- So, it's the moment we've all been waiting for.
Cannoli time.
Mike's Pastry.
- [Will] Ooh, you know it's fresh
because they literally take the shell
and fill it in the back somewhere.
- They pump it up.
Definitely taste the ricotta in there.
It's pretty substantial.
I don't think I could eat more than one.
- And then we have,
- [Will And Gunnarolla] Modern Pastry.
- Not as big as Mike's.
But also 50 cents cheaper than Mike's.
- It's sweeter.
- I was gonna say, it almost has more
of a vanilla taste to it.
- It does.
- I prefer Modern.
- Mm, okay, so.
- I'm okay with--
- Sweeter. - Sweeter.
- More vanilla-y.
- Yeah.
Not as gigantic.
I felt like I was eating a taco with Mike's.
That was like it's so big.
All right, we're at Boston Public Market.
This is a great place to go
if you wanna try out a bunch of different foods.
Okay, we got three types of donuts.
Apple cider.
What is this?
Like, is it a snack?
Is it a meal?
- There is so much choice. - Yeah.
Bring friends, bring your family, bring a date.
It's a cool place to just share food.
So there you have it.
Boston is an incredible foodie city
and we ate our way through it.
Thanks so much to CIBC Aventura for sponsoring this video.
I'll see you next time.
(speaking foreign language)
Thanks for checking out my video.
I had an awesome time traveling.
And thanks to the CIBC Aventura card,
planning and booking accommodations is super easy.
Check out this other video by the Young family
who used Aventura to plan a last-minute getaway to Orlando
for their family of five.
I wonder if they have good lobster rolls in Orlando?
