Most of July was filled with 90+ degree day after day. As if the heat wasn't bad enough the humidity was killer. It made my 5 minute walk to Dunkin Donuts torture and pretty much put the kibosh on any city adventures.
After several days stuck inside, or only venturing down the block, JO had a brainstorm. Basically, his idea was to become nocturnal. Beginning your day at 8:00 p.m., when the weather was tolerable (by no means perfect but tolerable), you get to enjoy the city and because of the heat, it's a lot less crowded.
One such lovely night found us hitting up the Brattle Theater to watch Godzilla. After the movie we wandered around looking for a place to grab a drink. We ended up scoring two seats at the six seat outdoor bar at The Red House. The patio at this restaurant really reminds me of something you would see on The Cape or in Maine. It's decorated simply with white lights, silver chairs, and other rustic decor. We had a great time talking about our upcoming trip to Seattle and enjoyed being out of the house for a few hours.
On our walk back to the car we discovered something epic- Yogurt Land. This is probably the 3rd or 4th frozen yogurt place in the Square, but what sets this place apart from the rest is that it's self serve. No more waiting for slow yogurt scoopers who don't understand you are in a rush to eat said frozen yogurt. You also pay by weight and can have as many toppings as you want. Winning!
So, if you're looking for a way to beat the heat just start your day at 8:00.... at night!
