Chocolate, Cheese, and the Library!

This weekend was pretty much a mash up of fun city things!

On Saturday JO and I hit up the Chocolate Festival in Harvard Square. In keeping with this winter, it was absolutely beautiful out. We completed the chocolate scavenger hunt. It was fun to put our Harvard Square knowledge to good use. I've never been in LA Burdick Chocolate Shop before, a crime for sure. It's so cute in there and it smells absolutely delicious. Since we were on the scavenger hunt we got a free chocolate penguin.

After the scavenger hunt we decided to have lunch at Wagamma. I love this place! Great noodles, great soup, great everything! Lately we've been sitting in the window seats which give you a great view of the busy street. We headed back to center of the square for the chocolate tasting but by the time we got there the line was huge! We learned our lesson and will definitely head to the tasting early next year.

It had been a while since we had been in the Square and it felt good to walk around and take in all the sights. We headed home to prepare for our annual cheese fest. Last year we barely managed to get Cheese Fest in between snow storms. This year was much less stressful. It's always fun to see good friends...and who doesn't love cheese and wine!

On Sunday I spent the day with a good friend. We headed to the Prudential Center to visit the Skywalk Observatory. Before riding the elevator up 50+ floors we decided to have lunch at Wagamma (twice in the same weekend...score me!) I absolutely love the view from the Skywalk. You get a complete 360 view of the city. My Boston geography keeps improving :-)

After the tour we decided to walk around and grab dessert. Our wanderings led us to the Boston Public Library. I had never been in the library before so we decided to take a look around. Breathtaking is the only way to describe this beautiful building. I'll definitely be going back!

We ended up at the Met Bar. I came here a few weeks ago and really enjoyed the upstairs lounge. Lucky for us there was a table free so we grabbed it. Despite the slow service, the desserts were delicious. I got spiced donuts with chocolate mousse. I'm not usually a donut person but these were delicious.

I love the fact that I can share my great city with great friends!
