Hey guys! I’m Kendra and today I’m in historic Boston South End
If there’s one cool thing that’s happened in recent years in the South End, it’s the SoWa Market.
So, let’s go check it out.
Here we are at SoWa Market.
I love this market because you can find artisanal crafts and jewelry,
and you can buy things right from the people who make them.
Today, I’m going to meet my friend Chantel to walk around and shop a little.
Hey, Chantel! Good to see you!
Here are some nice paintings. Oh, pretty.
Birds.
These are nice hand painted pictures of birds. I’m not sure what kind of birds they are.
I think this one is a cardinal. Good job, Chantel!
You’re way better at this than I am.
Oh, those little people clothes.
Look over here! There’s incense. Oh, it smells really good.
Do you call this incense or diffusers? They’re diffusers.
The wooden sticks go inside of this fluid and it smells great. It goes out into the air.
I am a sucker for candles. I do love candles. Very nice candles.
A candle and a little wick there. Nice. Can I smell it?
Yeah. Oh. Grapefruit.
Is it? Yeah.
Great! Grapefruit.
And these are all stained glass? Yes, they are.
That is a pretty colour, yellow. They do match my nails.
That’s my color, especially in the summer. It’s all about the yellow.
Yellow? There you go.
See? It’s my color. I’m telling you. I hate to be vain, but some things are a fact.
Oh, it’s super nice. They’re beautiful. Thank you.
There’s more artwork. Those are cut-outs.
Paper-cutting artwork is actually one of my favorite kinds of artwork.
It’s super cool. You can totally try it yourself.
I have, and it doesn’t look nearly as beautiful as this, but it is fun.
That’s my favorite food truck.
Oh, Bon Me? Yeah, I love Bon Me.
Hi. How are you? Hi. Good!
So, all of these shirts are inspired by the periodic table of elements …
That’s right.
… that I had to memorize in high school – and I know like four things now.
Here’s an example.
They use the actual table of elements to spell out things.
This one says “I need SPaCe periodically.” It’s actually quite true for me as well.
That one’s NErDy by Nature. That’s appropriate.
That’s cool. Super cool. Thank you!
Alright, Chantel. What else should we look at?
We should probably look at some of the food they have here.
Do you think? Alright.
Over here, on this end, we have a lot of food trucks.
What’s your favorite? I’m definitely going to try Bon Me.
I’m obsessed with tacos, so I’m going to look for a taco,
but that definitely would be my second choice. Okay, cool.
We’re going to go. Let’s go have a look.
Sorry!
Maybe for later, there’s bubble tea. It’s awesome.
It’s an Asian drink, like iced tea with little tapioca pearls inside. It’s super good.
Here we go! Hi! You know what? I found my tacos.
Let’s see … See? Now you’re looking at the tacos.
I told you! I’ve never met a nice person who refuses a taco.
Barbacoa, which is Spanish for barbecue … Let’s do that one.
What did you get? I got some Bon Me with pulled pork and white rice.
I’m a sucker for Asian food, so I had to go with it.
Oh my gosh, it’s so good. Yep!
This is Vietnamese cuisine. A very fresh cuisine.
I got a taco, of course. I feel bad doing this in front of you guys,
because I already know how delicious this is going to be.
After we’re finished this, do you want to look around just a little bit more?
Yeah, we’ll take one more lap around.
Yeah? Let’s go. Let’s do it.
This is really good.
I have an idea. Oh, okay.
I heard of a really good vegan ice cream place.
Even if you’re not vegan, you’re supposed to love the ice cream.
Perfect. I’m down. Let’s try it?
Let’s do it. Alright. Time for some ice cream.
Let’s see what all the hype is about. Hi. How are you?
Good. How are you? Good.
We’re visiting to sample some of this ice cream you have here.
Awesome! It’s a local blueberry shortbread ice cream made with coconut milk and organic shortbread.
So it’s the coconut milk that makes it vegan, right?
Instead of regular cow’s milk.
Exactly. That’s awesome.
Thank you. So cute!
Oh my gosh, look at these cute little mini cones. I’ll see if this can hold me over.
This is super good. Thanks!
You can see the blueberry in here, and also the shortbread.
I do like the shortbread. It’s more like cake than bread.
This is good.
So, that was our day in the South End.
If you comment below and tell us your favorite flavor of ice cream,
we’ll send the yummiest answer this cool Boston key chain. Okay? Bye!
