Guess what? I got the plague. It was bad, it lasted almost five weeks, and it wasn't pretty. It started off as just an annoying cold, developed into laryngitis, went away for four days, and then came back with a vengeance in the form of strep throat (more on this, in my ode to the Urgent Care in a future post!)
After the laryngitis and before the strep throat, we managed to have a really enjoyable weekend, filled with lots of fun things, including a much needed city night out! Unlike a few weeks ago, I planned ahead and got us a reservation at one of our favorite restaurants, Marliave. Marliave is the restaurant that I always recommend to people when they want to know where to eat out in Boston. It's elegant and sophisticated with a warm, cozy dining room. The waitstaff is phenomenal and the food is incredible. You get all of that at really reasonable prices. The menu also offers something for everyone and the drink menu is crazy good! This cocktail, the Tres Curioux, is my favorite one in the whole city!
Originally, I had planned that we would have dinner at Marliave and have drinks somewhere else nearby, but like it seems to do every day now (how do people in Seattle and Portland deal with this for months on end) it was pouring so we decided to extend our dinner with a second drink and dessert. I still wasn't feeling 100% (probably because I had strep and didn't know it) and walking around in the rain didn't sound like a great idea. Plus, Marliave has truffles and who doesn't love truffles????
It felt great to be out and about again. I had been sick for two weeks and my city meter was definitely draining. I don't do well when that happens. Marliave is always the right answer for that!
