Sometimes a day at school is just so stressful that the only cure is dinner on a roof deck followed by a walk home along the Charles River.
I was so happy when JO got home from work on a beautiful spring night and declared that we needed a roof deck dinner immediately. A few weeks before I had slipped in our kitchen in the middle of the night and bruised my tailbone. I had missed Mayfair and pretty much was Inman Square bound (not a bad thing but Harvard Square was calling my name) for a while. I felt like I could handle the walk so we decided to go for it.
Daedalus is our go to when it comes to outdoor dining in Harvard Square. Although they recently seemed to have switched chefs, and as a result the quality of food has slipped a bit, Daedalus' roof deck is the place to be. They've made some improvements to the deck, including a few "for drinks" only spots along the side of the deck which I'm a fan of. I was kind of surprised how easily we got a table and I'll toss it up to city luck.
We enjoyed a really relaxing dinner, talking about summer vacation plans and the prospect of possibly being able to stay in our apartment. After dinner, it was still so nice out that we decided to take the long way home via the Charles River. We even extended the walk by crossing over one of the bridges and walking alongside Storrow Drive for a while. That's where we saw these cute baby ducklings and their mother. Who says there's no nature in the city?
After a grumpy few weeks dealing with MCAS and a sore back, this night was just what I needed!
