City Vicky is back! I'm boosted and it feels great to be easing back into city fun. Last weekend I had my first city adventure with friends since the world shut down. I was so excited to get dressed up and head into the city to meet up with my college friends for dinner.
Each December, we get together in the city. I get to pick the restaurant since that's kind of my jam. This year I had so much trouble coming up with a place to go. I sent my friends a list of five or six restaurants but I really wasn't feeling any of them. I like to "wow" my friends with the restaurant and I had chosen all safe places. I honestly was having trouble thinking of places we could go. My restaurant game was rusty. Thankfully, I didn't give up and I was able to recall some great spots, including Mariel. (Side note- it's nearly impossible to get dinner reservations in Boston right now. Like almost impossible. I was super lucky to snag a reservation at this spot.)
Mariel is a super fun place to go with friends, especially if you want to show off the city. Mariel is owned by the team behind Yvonne's Supper Club and Ruka. It's an absolutely stunning space with super high ceilings, stone columns, and beautiful decor. There are lots of bright colors and the focus is on Instagram worthy moments, especially when it comes to the drinks. (Next time, I'm getting the tower of drinks that are on fire.)
After dinner we headed over to The Ritz for drinks. I had forgotten what a great spot this bar is. It's cozy, sophisticated, and usually not too crowded.
It was so exciting to be back out in the city and equally exciting to be socializing with my friends again.
