We had gone back and forth about a restaurant for dinner before settling on No. 9 Park! I'm so glad we picked this place. The location was perfect, right by the common with lots of options for post-dinner fun. Plus, No. 9 is so well known for it's food (it has one a few James Beard awards) and definitely a special occasion kind of place.
The restaurant features a bar room in the front and a dining room in the back. The bar room
The food was perfectly prepared, dressed, and presented. I got the chicken with potato puree and mushrooms. Perfection! JO got the roast pork and he loved it. We got this delicious peanut butter cake dessert!
After dinner, we headed over to one of our absolutely favorite restaurants, Marliave! By this time it was really snowing and it was so fun to walk around with the big flakes falling down. It really was a vintage Boston winter scene. We were able to get two seats at the upstairs bar. The bartender was super friendly and we had fun talking about the restaurant scene in the city. Plus, he assured me I was going to have a snow day the next day (which I did 😀)!
Since it was my birthday we even got a second dessert, the chocolate truffles! I absolutely love these things and could eat them all day!
Since I was pretty sure I wouldn't need to set my alarm we stayed out for a quite a while before we made our way back home. We opted for the train and short walk from Central instead of an Uber. It was so fun to walk around in the snow.
It really was a perfect way to celebrate my birthday in the city!
