Mariah Carey’s North End Restaurant Choice For A Post Concert Italian Meal
Mariah Carey was spotted in the North End last night. No word though if she had a white box of Mike's Pastry goodies in her hand.

Listen I would have told her to go to Giacomo’s, but she’s a fancy girl.
Mariah Carey was in Boston last night for her holiday concert at TD Garden. After the show, the pop diva scored points with me by having a post-show meal in the North End. So which spot did she pick?
We all have our favorites. You really can’t go wrong with any place in the North End. But Mariah must’ve gotten some good guidance. She wound up at Strega, according to Channel 7. They say Mariah and owner Nick Varano go way back.
Word of Mariah’s visit apparently spread quickly. Fans gathered outside Strega to catch a glimpse of her. After her meal, they say Mariah took time to sign autographs for fans who were waiting outside the restaurant.
Now personally, I would’ve advised Mariah to get the lobster ravioli or chicken parmesan at Giacomo’s down the street. But she’s a bit of a diva. Giacomo’s is kind of crowded and not all that fancy. Plus I doubt she carries cash on her and would’ve probably thrown a fit if told she couldn’t use her credit card. I don’t see Mariah hoofing it across the street to that 7 Eleven to hit their ATM.
I did some digging but there’s no word if she had one of those white Mike’s Pastry boxes in her hand. Then she would have truly impressed me. [Source: Channel 7]
