Perfect Patio Weather

Towards the end of May, I got really busy.  Every weekend was booked solid and I was having a panic attack about how much school work I needed to get down and the lack of city fun I was having.  One Friday night, I found myself with a spare three hours before I had to leave for the weekend, and the weather was gorgeous, so JO and I headed towards Kendall to find a patio.

I wasn't really feeling Cambridge Brewing Company, and without Tommy Doyle's, our options were a bit limited, until we remembered Amelia's Trattoria was around the corner.  Note to self, we easily scored an outside table at 7:00 p.m. on a Friday.  (Sidebar-  If you go out in Cambridge anytime after 6:00 pm on the weekend without a reservation things can get very dicey.)  While I sipped my prosecco and feasted on antipasto I could feel all of my stress melt away.

After dinner, we found ourselves walking home past State Park and I couldn't resist stopping in for a cocktail (they make the best Old Cuban in the city- dark rum, mint, simple syrup, and bubbles~ perfection) and some pinball.  You can't help but be in a good mood after visiting State Park!

I ended up having a lovely night and my city meter got filled.  Just what I needed!
