My friend Charlotte Forsythe has decorated the hotel that she co-owns with her husband Gerald Fandetti, The Kendall Hotel, with an unerring eye for beauty and whimsy, and all displayed with a sophisticated charm and wit. The Kendall is a restored firehouse located in the heart of the MIT area of Cambridge (Google offices are just across the street). Charlotte scours flea markets, art exhibits, and antique shows across the country for American folk art.

When in Cambridge, be sure to have breakfast, lunch, or dinner at the hotel’s restaurant, the Black Sheep, serving classic American cuisine with some innovative twists. At this time of year you can dine al fresco in the patio garden. Every item on the menu is wonderfully delicious and beautifully prepared, and the service, outstanding. While there, you can tour the public rooms and see Charlotte’s exquisite collection of American folk and firehouse inspired art.
