Friday Fun Day

On Friday JO and I planned a "Day of Fun."  Our first stop was ice skating at the Kendall Community Outdoor Rink, but in what's becoming a running joke for us, it was too crowded.  Our next stop was lunch at Shanti in Kendall.  I was not impressed with Shanti's Indian lunch buffet and was beginning to feel a bit defeated, especially as I watched these unexpected giant snowflakes fall.  Thankfully, JO got me to rally and we hopped on the Red Line.

Our next destination was the Boston Public Market, my new favorite place in the city.  So many vendors, such variety, and everything looked so good!  We had fun exploring and vowed to come back another day for lunch and grocery shopping.

After the Market, we headed towards the movie theater by the park, with a quick stop at Back Deck (because apparently it's very hard to get a drink in the city at 3:30) for a quick drink, before watching Moana, which was fantastic by the way.

After the movie we decided to carry on to our final destination, La Casa de Pedro in the Seaport, despite the frigid weather.  If you do this restaurant, do not follow Apple Maps, because you will end up in a parking lot far from any restaurants.  After quickly recalibrating, thanks to Google Maps, we arrived at La Casa de Pedro and I was officially in love.  Who wouldn't love this entrance?

I love how full force this restaurant went with it's decor.  From the jeep, fake palm trees with white lights, beautiful tiling, and lots of bold colors it's just fun and who doesn't want to have fun.

I was all ready to order a class of their white sangria, because it's perfection, but when I saw they had mojitos I changed my mind and I was not disappointed.  The mojito was delicious and refreshing.

We started with the street corn tapas and it was absolutely delicious.  Beautifully charred and seasoned, with lots of broiled cheese on the top, each bite was a flavor explosion.

We each ordered a quesedilla for dinner and they were ok, definitely not as good as at the original restaurant in Watertown.  That was a bit of a bummer but it just means I get to explore the other menu items next time.  And yes, there will be a next time, since we were informed they are going to have a big patio with an outdoor bar.  Hello Seaport Lounge Crawl!!!
