so we mamas thought we would start sharing some of our favorite things-some of our three haute mama approved restraurants, products, hotels, books, you name it. Our first "haute stuff" award goes to:
Kim, Kate + the girls recently spent the evening doing drinks and dinner at towne stove + spirits located adjacent to the Hynes Convention Center, on Boyleston Street in Boston's Back Bay. Upon arrival, and after valet parking, it was clear that this was not going to be a quiet night. The first bar was packed to capacity, and shortly after, they had to form a waiting line outside (bwah whah whah to them. It was COLD!). The bar is gorgeous, bartenders mix some choice cocktails , and clientele a mix of well dressed age groups. Something for everyone, or rather someone for everyone;)
Inside the other half, a sweet man stood watch keeping the dining rooms, 2nd and 3rd bars to a minimum, more reserved. One half of the culinary directing duo, the uber talented Lydia Shire, (Jasper White being the other) was actually on hand and literally very hands on, out and about among the restaurant. How often do you see that these days? We had a very large party, no reservations and they were able to accomodate us no problem, and very kindly as well. Again..how often?? Clearly we're not food critics ( I eat cheerios for 2 out of 3 meals a day, let's be real here) but from what I can tell the only time of the night we girls were silent was when the food arrived. Happy bellies all around.
towne is a fun people watching place-cute boys, cute girls, young couples, old couples, it was all there. If people + chit chat aren't your thing, the Boston Public Library is conveniently located down the street. If you enjoy a lively time, savory dishes and a good drink, in an accessible location, then towne is the haute place to be.
HAUTE STUFF!
this is not a paid endorsement, simply our opinion. all meals and drinks (well except for the ones that Steve bought! Thanks Steve!) were purchased by us.
