For the last four Valentine's Days we have gone to the Brattle Theater in Harvard Square to watch Casablanca. There's something really special about watching this particular movie on the big screen, in an old theater, the way it was meant to be. This is actually such a special tradition for us that we picked As Time Goes By from the movie as our wedding song. I was really looking forward to watching the movie, and hearing the song, this year but since the company that owns Casablanca is planning a rerelease this spring the Brattle wasn't allowed to screen it on Valentine's Day.
We decided to head to one of our favorite restaurants instead. Of course we stopped at the Last Hurrah at the Omni Parker for drinks first. It was a really perfect winter night...not too cold but cold enough to make sitting inside by the windows in the cozy lounge just perfect.
After drinks we headed over to the Marliave for dinner. I think this is my favorite restaurant in Boston. It's got a great atmosphere and the food is always delicious! This time we ordered a cheese plate. We had fun picking out our cheeses. I had been craving the ravioli dish for a while and it didn't disappoint. We spent a lot of dinner talking about how awesome this winter has been. No parking bans, no human sized snow mounds, and best of all no snow days.
