3. Quincy Market

3 Quincy Market The Lambchop family didn't see Dr. Dan until the next day, when they planned to meet for lunch at a place called Quincy Market. Settling on what to eat was as hard as deciding what to see in Boston! Quincy Market was not one restaurant. It was many restaurants, all at once! There was a long hallway lined with booths. Each booth had a

different kind of food, like pizza or hamburgers or tacos. Stanley wondered what was in the tacos. When he was in Mexico, he had discovered a secret ingredient that made all tacos muy bueno! Now that he thought about it, if he wasn't flat, he wouldn't have been able to mail himself there or track it down.

Arthur pointed to two booths. "I think we should go here and here," he said. Mrs. Lambchop frowned. "Arthur, cupcakes and ice cream do not make a well-balanced meal!" she said. She was a big believer in good nutrition. Arthur groaned, but he and Stanley got sandwiches and lemonades instead. They carried their trays into a big room full of tables and chairs. It was much more crowded than the lunchroom at school. "Over here!" called Dr. Dan, waving. He was at a large round table. Now Stanley knew why he had not noticed him sooner. Dr. Dan was in his regular clothes, not his white doctor coat. Here in Boston, he looked just like everybody else!

"How wonderful to see the Lambchop family!" Dr. Dan said as they all sat down. "Have you had a good trip so far? I've seen the whole city from the top of the Hancock Tower!"

Arthur told him about their adventure on the duck tour. "And how is the conference?" Mrs. Lambchop asked their friend. Dr. Dan looked over his glasses. "Very interesting," he said. "I have met doctors from all over the world." He looked right at Stanley. "One of them, Dr. Deb, can't wait to meet you." "Oh," said Stanley. He put down his sandwich. Suddenly, he wasn't hungry anymore. Dr. Dan continued. "Dr. Deb is very nice," he said, "and she knows more than anyone in the world about flatness. She will be helping me take my research to the next level." Stanley frowned. If anyone is an expert on flatness, Stanley thought, it is me! It was time to talk to Dr. Dan. "Dr. Deb sounds really smart, but...," he began. He searched for the words to explain everything else. He just wanted to have fun on his trip! He didn't want people looking at him or
