Instagram Excursions: Marliave
This is one of those things that I debated sharing. You see, this is my favorite restaurant. Unlike other trendy Boston spots, it has retained a certain level of anonymity and I don’t want to be the one to blow up its spot…so to speak. However, after spending a blissful evening on the patio at Marliave tonight, I had a desire to shout from the rooftops about how much I love this place.
Seriously…If you’ve been living in Boston for a while and are feeling jaded that every place is either built to take your money, designed for 20-year-olds, or both, go to Marliave. It’s a little oasis in the city, right off of the Park Street station and it will make you feel super cool. The cocktails are fantastic and, after four years of dining there in groups of 2 to 6, I’ve never had a bad meal. That’s saying something. Observe:
