Enjoying the Other Side

Now that the weather has finally gotten nice in Boston, it's the perfect time to lounge outside and soak in the sun while enjoying a meal and some cold drinks.

With this in mind, Andrew and I met up with Phu and Pete at the Other Side Cafe. It has the address of Newbury Street but it isn't where people usually picture Newbury street - it's actually located on the part of Newbury that is past Mass Ave..

Their serving staff seems very granola-crunchy/biker (as in bicycles, not motorcycles) and are covered with tattoos, but have always been very friendly each time we've visited. Their menu to me is nothing special, but they are known for their smoothies and vegetarian/vegan friendly fare along with enough regular choices for the meat eaters.

Here's Phu enjoying his vegetarian burrito with chicken added, which I know, technically makes it a chicken burrito. But it's listed as a vegetarian burrito on the menu.



As Phu and Pete had arrived 30 minutes before Andrew and I were able to join them, they added their names to the waiting list for the outdoor patio and we were able to head outside shortly after we arrived. Yes, that's Pete enjoying the champagne of beers while Andrew stayed true to his Plymouth roots by enjoying Mayflower's Summer Rye.



My drink of choice was Original Sin's cider - it's very light and refreshing, perfect for drinking in hot weather.



Here's to a couple more months of enjoying food and drinks on outdoor patios.
