Last night, Eric and I took a moment to relax. We walked up to Wayland Square and stopped in to the outdoor patio at L'Artisan Cafe & Bakery. We treated ourselves to a bottle of wine and some dessert and grabbed a seat on the outdoor patio.
We decided to go with a bottle of pinot noir by The Pino Project. It was delicious and I was very pleased with our choice. Eric has a sweet tooth so also picked up a giant chocolate chip cookie and a coconut macaroon.
The cafe was playing music on their outdoor speaker system and for a minute, I really felt like I was sitting in an outdoor cafe in Paris!

The wine, sweets and atmosphere was a great way to wind down at the midpoint of the week. It was much needed and appreciated. After about an hour or so, we hit the road to walk home and turn in for the night talking about how much enjoyed our night in Paris...I mean Providence sipping wine outside at L'Artisan!
Where do you like to go to relax? Is there an outdoor cafe in your neighborhood that you like to visit?
I too have had a stressful week. Right now I'm sitting on my patio, with the neighbor's fountain running in the background. My husband took the dog and baby for a walk so I am blessedly by myself for the first time today.
ReplyDeleteNice blog post, Meghan! And, what a fun question. To relax I often go to Culture, which is a frozen yogurt place here in Brooklyn across from a very pretty park. I love to enjoy the frozen yogurt under the dark trees.
