The Boulevard is the Jordanian equivalent to Patriots Place. It's a Modern outdoor shopping center filled with cafes and hotel rooms that look over all of the shoppers. My roommate and I however were not there for shopping, we were looking for another café. We had tried walking to it a few days ago but could not find it. Why couldn't we find it, you ask, well we took a cab this time and realized that you had to go on a highway to get there. But at least we knew we were walking in the right direction. The part of Jordan we were in is often refereed to as the " new downtown of Amman " which I can understand. Tall glass buildings seamlessly cover the area and lights brighten the street. The area was beautiful, and although we had a cab driver who wanted to make sure we understood that he would give us a discount if we wanted to go to the Dead sea my roommate and I were still captivated. The first thing we noticed when arriving the Boulevard was the #LoveJo statue. Tourists were taking pictures in front of it, but because we will be here for 8 months we decided to wait until after the café to take our pictures... We walked up a staircase and we were greeted by the beautifully decorated shopping center. A fountain was the first thing I noticed but directly above it were decorations for Eid Al Adha which is coming up next week. Honestly this boulevard puts the Warwick mall at Christmas time to shame. After admiring the scenery we walked around until we found the café! I have seen so many pictures of the food and these milkshakes they have called "freakshakes". Freakshakes are these crazy giant milkshakes that are topped with so many things! I got a Cookie Dough Freakshakes and it was delicious! They were playing music from the early 2000's which provided a good moment for some laughter and stories.
