Harvard Square Tree Lighting

One of my favorite holiday traditions is the tree lighting at the Charles Hotel in Harvard Square.  This year marked the 9th year JO and I have gone to this event together.  There's always a live band playing Christmas carols and it's what I use to officially kickoff the holiday season and this year was no different.

After dinner we headed over to Kennedy's on the Square, what was formally known as First Printer.  I actually really liked First Printer so I was a bit disappointed when the space was reinvented as Kennedy's but the menu intrigued me so I was willing to try it out.  I really wanted to like this place but it everything we tried seemed to be missing an ingredient or two to really make it pop.  Plus the decor is a bit strange- giant pictures of JFK.  I know JFK went to Harvard but it just doesn't seem to make sense at all.  I'm glad we tried this place, just to say we did, but I can't imagine we'll be headed back anytime soon.
