The show wasn't until 8:00, which left us plenty of time to go out for dinner beforehand. It felt like it had been weeks since we'd been out in the city. The last two weekends had seen me up to my eyeballs in school work and battling a nasty cold. I was definitely looking forward to a night out in the city!
I was pleasantly surprised when I was able to get a table for two at the last minute for Porto near the Prudential Center. We had been to Porto at the beginning of summer and really enjoyed it. The restaurant was totally empty when we arrived. That's when it hit me. Halloween is the best day to go out in the city! You could get a reservation anywhere and you won't be rushed at all! Most adults have to do that trick or treating thing!!! I'm going to be capitalizing on this from now on!
Porto is a really fun Mediterranean inspired restaurant. There are lots of sharable plates and a handful of main meals. I'm a big fan of their wine list. Their prosecco is fabulous and you get a really nice pour. The location is great, right next to the Prudential Center. We were seated in the back dining room that looks out on the courtyard. You get a real sense of being in the city even though it's a bit quiet since it's not on Boylston Street. We shared several small plates and they all were delicious!
After dinner we took the short walk over to Symphony Hall. We had fun getting our picture taken with the movie poster before settling in for the movie.
Hitchcock is a genius! I won't spoil the movie for anyone but the movie is incredible! Hitchcock is a master of suspense and the music is amazing. I kept forgetting to watch the musicians. It was so much fun to see the movie with a live score and so much fun to just be out in the city again. Of course, as I write this I'm sick again. I'm going on day three of no voice. Another weekend of staying home (and I'm not really good at that!)
