Day 18: The Beer Garden

I know I have mentioned it in a number of posts, but the beer garden at Charlie's Kitchen is the real show-stealer in Harvard Square. From what I hear, it is actually one of two locations in H. Square with outdoor seating in the summer, though also from what I hear, the other place "is a shitshow."  I supposed I'll report back on that at some point this summer.

Anyhow, if it's one of those first nice spring days, it's going to be packed -- and so worth waiting for a seat. Tonight was one of those nights where someone sent out an impromptu emailing saying she'd be there at 6p, and people crawled out of the woodwork for some open-air celebration in a cozy back corner outdoors, a few of us crouching on the steps leading up to a higher-level street.  For once I didn't get my standby order - grilled cheese on white. Only two places in C-bridge top Charlie's grilled cheese, and that is only because they come with tomato soup.  It is sort of the perfect meal.

Methinks the MIT sailing pavilion will open soon... sailing is definitely on the bucket list for this summer.  I sort of want to get an actual bucket. And make a list on it. Or in it. And carry it around with me for when I have new ideas.
