The weather was awful this past week. When it wasn't sweltering, it was freezing and down pouring. How very New England of Mother Nature.
The weather, and another setback with our new place, had me feeling really out of sorts. In an effort to turn things around, JO suggested we head out to NuBar on Saturday night. It was raining and freezing. I actually had to wear my winter dress boots, which I hadn't worn once all winter 🤣 As a result of the weather, we had to eat inside, which we really haven't done since March 12th, 2020. NuBar was super empty so it was a good way to ease back into indoor dining. We grabbed a lounge table by the fireplace and enjoyed tasty food and delicious drinks.
The next day was July 4th and the sun started peeking out from behind the clouds. It was still cool but it was so nice to see the sun again. We decided to try Shy Bird over in Kendall Square. We've been wanting to try this place for a while and we knew it would be crowded, so we opted to eat on their patio. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, great people watching and friendly, prompt service. (I think this may the training ground for ensemble waitering required at Teatro 🤣.) We tried the chicken bites, cheesy bread, and marinated tomatoes. All were delicious, especially the cheesy bread. Two areas for improvement- larger servings of the dipping sauces and a stronger honey mustard.
After dinner we wanted to continue the evening. (Can we talk about how nice it is to be able to continue an evening again? Crowds are settling down so you can actually be spontaneous again and you no longer need to order food with drinks so you can just get a drink and relax again.) We decided to grab some beers at Cambridge Brewing Company. We sat inside. The amount of people inside was at a reasonable level and we were a safe distance from other groups of people. It was nice to be inside, doing something so simple as grabbing some drinks (even if mine was too lemony.)
