Happy New Year!
Yesterday was such a gorgeous day! We had breakfast with Sean and Krista at the http://www.deluxetowndiner.com/ in Watertown, one of my favorite breakfast places around here. It was nice to catch up and hear about their trip to NOLA for Christmas.
Since our New Year's Eve plans weren't until later we spent some time around the house and got out for a walk down Moody to enjoy the unseasonably mild weather. We were able to check out the new Indian Supermarket http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/food/articles/2010/12/29/india_market_is_a_subcontinent_under_one_roof/ - it is huge and had a pretty good selection of things (though not many natural or organic ingredients). Still, it's nice to have a place to walk and be assured of the basics if our friendly across the street convenience store doesn't have them. The Charles was gorgeous with tons of birds swimming around or sitting on the ice http://www.flickr.com/photos/dancerjodi/5312528308/in/set-72157625720141956/ . Going to the indian grocery store made Brian want some of his favorite local Indian food, so we strolled over there for our lunch/dinner before heading to the show. There are a lot of options in Waltham, but http://www.hiddenboston.com/KababAndTandoor.html has become our favorite.
As always, we had a GREAT time at the http://www.pinobrostattoo.com/ New Year's Eve bash, this year moved to the Middle East Downstairs since Harper's Ferry has closed. It was a Rock and Roll Heaven theme, with decorations, dead bands, live-band karaoke and of course, the 1999 Waltham lineup at midnight. It was fun to celebrate with my townie friends! I didn't get a lot of pictures but you can get an idea of the craziness in these few http://www.flickr.com/photos/dancerjodi/sets/72157625720141956/with/5312528308/ . As always after one of their shows I wish they did more of them, but kind of like the lights and decorations we put up in December and take down in January, would they be as special if we had them all of the time?
We're meeting friends for Dim Sum today and going to another bash tonight, this time to celebrate a good friend's 40th birthday at King's in Dedham. One of these days I'll check out the Boston location, where they purchased old things from Waltham's Wallex (benches, flooring) to build out their schmancy bar and game areas.
