Bike Riding, a Roof Deck, Rosebud, Nubar, and FreezePop~ Oh My!

We had another action packed day on Saturday. 

We took the Blue Bikes out for a ride along the Charles River.  The ride from the mall down to Harvard Square is quite nice.  There's a bike path for most of it which makes for a stress free experience.

After docking our bikes in Harvard Square I didn't feel like going home just yet so we headed over to Daedalus to see if we could get on the roof deck.  We were lucky enough to get two seats along the railing.  Daedalus added flowers boxes along the railing and lots of greenery to the deck and it looks so pretty.  This roof deck is consistently ranked in magazines for roof decks/outdoor dining and it's totally a worthy recognition.  The roof deck is so peaceful but you can still hear some street noise so you feel like you are in the city.  There are umbrellas and awnings for shade.  Last year they renovated slightly and added the railing seats for drinks only, which is awesome!  It's hard to get up on the deck, but if you are ever in the area I can't recommend it enough!

After drinks we headed home before heading out again.  This time we were going to Davis Square to check out an arts festival.  When we arrived, we couldn't find the festival and we weren't alone.  A lot of people were looking for it too.  Slightly disappointed, we decided to explore the Square and find a place to eat.  The weather was so nice and I really wanted to eat outside, which is actually a bit difficult in Davis.  We lucked out with a table on the patio of Rosebud American Kitchen and Bar.

Rosebud used to be a diner and was renovated a few years ago to turn it into a modern, rustic space with rich reds, reclaimed wood, and keeps the diner feel while also feeling like a fancy steakhouse with out the stuffiness.  Their menu features modern spins on southern comfort food.  We enjoyed the patio, although I didn't love the food.  That's all me though because you could tell the food was really well thought out and carefully prepared.  I'm just not that excited about that style of food.

We were heading to another 11:15 pm concert so we decided to kill time by walking from Davis to Harvard.  It was a perfect night for a walk and we enjoyed an ice cream stop at Honeycomb's.

It started raining as we approached Harvard Square (and we still had time to kill) so we ducked into Nubar at the Commander for a drink.  We got married at the Commander so any visit to the hotel is special.  We enjoyed sampling some cavas.

Finally, it was time to see FreezePop at The Sinclair.  FreezePop is a dance/techno/digital music band (I'm not doing them justice with that description but it's the best I can do because they are a bit indescribable.)  They sang an entire song about Tracy Gold, so it was a pretty awesome night!
