Clothes everywhere, trying to find the right outfit for the night out.
(By that I mean near my old favorite haunts.) The Verb Hotel, one of Boston's newest design hotels, is located just around the corner from Kenmore Square and is one of those unofficial gay hotels which comfortably accommodates LGBT tourists thanks to a cool design, a great location and a fun atmosphere.Īfter checking in and a quick shower, I'd already destroyed my room. And with only a weekend in my old hometown of Boston to visit friends, get drunk and eat junk food, I needed to stay somewhere convenient. The real reason, though: I wanted to spoil myself. I lied, flirtatiously, showing him my almost-expired Massachusetts driving license and a fumbled story about a conference in Los Angeles. “You booked the local rate – do you live here?” he asked inquisitively. The receptionist, clearly gay, took my information.
I walked into my hotel with my rolling suitcase, past the old, 1950s-style marquee and a retro camper in the parking lot.
