We Are Hardy City Folk- Single Digits Won't Stop Us

Earlier this week I thought it would be fun to go out in Harvard Square for dinner and drinks on Friday night.  JO loved the idea so I went ahead and made reservations at Nubar at the Commander.  This was before I saw the forecast and the single digit temps that were headed our way.

It was absolutely frigid but we decided to go anyways and for some crazy reason we thought it was ok to walk there.  Nubar is on the far side of the Square so it's a thirty minute walk, at least.  It was real cold, and several times we doubted that we would make it, but we did eventually arrive at the Commander.  Even though it meant a few more minutes out in the cold we had to walk in the main entrance of the hotel because it's a tradition for us.  It always reminds us of our wedding day.  Before heading in, I just had to get a picture with all the snow!

 Nubar was the perfect place for dinner on a cold winter night.  The restaurant is underground, with large windows at garden level, and a huge gas fireplace in the bar area.  The colors are muted and the lighting is soft and it just feels warm.  The food is always so good here and our meals last night didn't disappoint.

After dinner we grabbed two seats by the fireplace and continued the evening.  I got the Nubar Bossa Nova and it was delicious.  I had gotten this drink back on our anniversary and it had been very tart.  This time they had that under control, it was just the right level of tartness.  Definitely a winner in my book!

We had a great night talking about spring and summer adventures, memories of our wedding night at the Commander, and thinking about how crazy the last four weeks of epic winter weather had been.  It was a really fun night, that ended with a cab ride, not a walk, back home!  City winning!!!
