Tree Lighting at the Charles Hotel and Fun Around the Square

 Another one of our holiday traditions is the tree lighting at the Charles Hotel.  It's been cancelled the last few years, so we were excited when we heard it was happening this year.  



After the tree lighting, we stopped at the bar at Bar Enza for drinks and appetizers.  I don't think this place gets enough credit.  It's a great spot featuring really soft, cozy lighting and lots of neutral colors that just make it feel so peaceful.  The drinks and food are also top notch and reasonably priced.  They've ruined calamari for me because there's is just so perfectly cooked and dressed in this lemon butter sauce.  

We wanted to turn the evening into a bit of a lounge crawl so we headed over to Longfellow's to enjoy the rest of the night.  We usually don't get food when we come here but we did order a few dishes and they were quite yummy.  The drinks are always on point here, and the mezcal mule and pisco sour did not disappoint.  Plus, check out that bitter art in the sour- that's quality right there.  We got to talking with the bar tender and he gave us a taste of brandy to end the evening.  (Nice touch!)



It was a great way to kick off the holiday season.
