What a glorious weekend! I know I say this all the time, but I absolutely love where I live.
Friday night we headed over to the aptly named NuBar at the Sheraton Commander Hotel. The hotel recently renovated their hotel restaurant and we were eager to check it out. We hadn't been to the hotel since we picked it as the venue for our wedding. The bar is such an improvement over the old restaurant. It has a fancy but casual atmosphere. We had great service and really enjoyed our drinks. It's definitely a great addition to the Square, especially for the winter. The middle of the bar area has a wall mounted gas fireplace and lots of comfy seats in front. I can definitely see us enjoying NuBar in the winter.
Saturday afternoon we met our Inman friends for a spontaneous Bukowski's outing. Bukowski's is such a great place to meet up with friends on the weekend. It's super close, has great drinks, and a fun vibe. It's sad to think that in a few weeks our Inman friends won't be living right around the corner from us. The Square is definitely enhanced by having such great friends nearby.
Saturday night we headed to the House of Blues for the Guster concert. It brought me back to my college days, that's for sure. It was a really fun concert except for the super annoying people around us. There was the "constantly on her iphone" girl and "super bad dancer" guy. After the concert we popped into Cask 'n Flagon for a quick bite, and to catch the end of the Celtics game. It was a lot of fun to watch a big game with lots of people. It was also great that when we left we were just a ten minute cab ride from home.
This morning we got up early to clean in advance of JO's parents visiting our place for the first time. After the visit we all headed into Harvard Square for lunch at...wait for it....wait for it....wait for it...Daedalus. Although it was a touch too cold to eat on the roof deck we had a really enjoyable meal in the second floor dining room. I cannot say it enough. I love this restaurant. After lunch we walked around and ended up at Finale for dessert. We walked off our dessert with some window shopping before heading over to the Sheraton so JO's parents could see the hotel. The staff was nice enough to let us in the ballroom for a quick peak. We hadn't seen the ballroom since our first visit in October. It was even more beautiful than we remembered. I love the chandeliers and the whole feel of the room.
We walked through Cambridge Common and cut through Harvard Yard. I rarely walk through the Yard and maybe I should do it more often. It's so beautiful and right now the trees are all blooming. I hope those Harvard kids know how lucky they are!
On our way back to our apartment we were telling JO's parents all about the great restaurants. Basically, if we don't know what we want to eat we head to the intersection by our house. If we turn right we can have Asian, Portuguese, or southern food. If we take a left it's seafood, Irish pub food, or All-American. If we continue straight we're headed for bar food taken to the next level.
I repeat, I love my city!
