A few weeks ago Rachael, Natalie, Bridget and I went out on the town for some good old fashioned late night picnic-ing on the Rose Kennedy Greenway over by the North End. We threw around a few emails with a few ideas, picked a date that worked for everyone, and then a plan was born. And what a good one it was. We got a some Lobster Rolls from Pauli’s (they were HUGE. and amazing.), Rachael brought paper cups, Bridget brought a bottle of wine, and we parked ourselves right by the fountains for a delicious dinner for 4 overlooking the city. We even had some music entertainment for awhile— a street player who was actually pretty good. It was really quite the lovely setting.
Have you ever had a picnic on a summer night before? If not, then you must. We met just as the sun was setting and the night time air was cool, but not cold. Also, I think we picked a day early enough in the season that the bugs weren’t around yet (or maybe that’s a city thing?). Either way, it was the ideal setting for lobster roll eating and easy conversation.
I love these blogger friends of mine. Besides being around for fun adventures, they are also just downright wonderful people. Their company makes the night go by so fast (it’s always so late when we part!) and I always leave with such a happy heart.

Some of our other adventures here and here.
Oh! And the first time we met here.
this looks so fun!! how lucky we are to live near Boston and to make new friends blogging!!?
YES. It’s honestly the best!
Speaking of we need to see each other soon!
I know seriously – I feel like I have every weekend booked and during the week it takes me so long to get home from work. Let’s all really set a date. Perhaps mid august?
Fabulous pictures, I love how they are not staged!
That’s my favorite part about them, too! :)
Thank you!
Wait guysssssssssss! I want to party with you guys! I know I’m a baby and you are all Big Bloggers, but this little blogger date is just the greatest, Picnics are my fave.
That sounds so fun (and delicious)! I will have to go try those lobster rolls as they are my new obsession since I moved to Boston. ;)
Your blogger adventures always sound so fun! Lobster rolls from Pauli’s are THE BEST, and a bottle of wine? That makes it sound even better!
love this. we should do it again soon. it was so fun.
First off, I LOVE your bag (or, at least, I’m assuming that’s your bag hanging off the empty chair while you take pictures). I’ve always wanted to do a picnic on top of a building, and one at night. Summer nights always feel the best. My old college had a building where you could eat on the rooftop. I only went up their once and it was so nice, but it had been a little cold that day, so it wasn’t as ideal for a picnic. But it was still lovely. I’d like to do it with some friends next time. :)
Lobster rolls and dining al fresco? Perfect! Looks like the night bloggy dreams are made of :) I love any kind of summer picnic!
Love that you posted this. What a night! I love having you as a real life friend.
and! I thought of one more blog that I might have already recommended to you, Garance Dore. She’s fashion but has the best attitude.
Yippeee..the best kind of summer date!
I imagine this was just the most lovely time! FUN! And really now, that is theeee best lighting—beautiful.
And hear hear to Rachael’s comment, just started loving Garance Dore! Fabulous!
