College Reunion

Had a mini reunion this weekend with my bffs from college. I've known these girls since freshman year at BC. Can you believe that it has been almost 5 years since we graduated? And almost 10 years since we first met? Now...normally I would mope around thinking about how old we've gotten, buuuut I didn't have time to mope because we were too busy eating, drinking, and having the greatest weekend :)

My friend arrived from California at like 7am on Saturday, and after taking a little morning disco nap, our first stop was Queens Comfort. This place "serves superior American comfort food in a relaxed and fun environment." The chefs cook everything fresh, and the menu changes every day, season, holiday - it's really based on whatever the chefs feel like making. And everything is sinfully delicious. With a mixture of private and communal tables, this place makes you feel right at home with old-school movies playing on a large screen in the back of the room and the fact that you can BYOB your favorite $10 wine with no cork fee.

Homemade hot chocolate that we may or may not have also gotten to-go on Sunday because we had dreams of the steamy chocolate, melty marshmallows, and creamy whipped cream

 We also saw Safe Haven (terrible), went to a lounge-y bar called The Park and stayed out way too late.

Hangover cure: NY bagels

We finished off N's last night at Kuma Inn. This place is literally a hole in the wall. The first time I went there I couldn't find it. There is no sign, and you have to walk up a scary staircase. But once you walk in, the smell of the food hits you and you are in heaven.  A little expensive, the service is a little rushed, and every time I have gone there I have had a time limit on how long I can stay - but it is so worth it because the food is SO freaking good.

Clockwise from top left: tuna tartare, grilled baby octopus, Chinese sausage and sticky rice, and pillowy pork buns. Don't have a pic, but they also have a pannacotta that will change your life.

2005 & 2013 - you should have seen how many shots it took to get this. But it was worth it.

What did you do for the 3-day weekend?
