3. The OtherSide Café closes, December 23, 2011
I found out today that one of my favorite places in Boston is closing next month. Truth be told, I don’t go there much anymore, but I used to. When I was a young, carefree 20-something. When it was furnished with old couches and random chairs and it served the best chocolate cream pie I ever tasted and ever will taste, so help me god.
Birthday celebrations, after-work drinks, New Year’s Eve celebrations, first dates, anniversaries…if those walls could talk. So many memories in that damn place. I’ll need to go at least one more time for a chicken salad sandwich. Who’s with me?
😦 So many fun memories! Nance, I will try to get to Boston to share this experience.
I know…apparently the landlord has been threatening to kick them out for the past 10 years. What a shame.
