For Your Funny Valentine or the V-Day Escapist
The Friendly Toast located at 1 Kendall Square, Cambridge, MA is the perfect place to go for the nontraditional quirky couple. Serving brunch, lunch, and everything far and in between, the menu covers all cravings from giant candy-filled pancakes as big as your head, a wide selection of vegan/vegetarian options, or out- of- this- world diner food with a twist.
For those whose V-day motto is "bah humbug love!," the birdbath filled with baby doll heads greeting you at the door, is just a taste of the eccentric decor that keeps cut-out red metallic cupids off the reservations list. The vibrant green walls decorated with off-beat retro art, drink offerings including alcohol-filled milkshakes and ice cream floats, and a killer alternative/indie soundtrack playing in the background, will be enough to distract you from the hipster couple next to you holding hands while debating whether or not Animal Collective has gotten "too mainstream." Just keeps saying to yourself, bottoms up! No matter what your facebook relationship status is, your funkiest, most colorful, or most over-the-top bow tie will be sure to get some love here!
OoOTie/Knot Candy Picks: Blue Bow Tie with Flamingo Critters, Multi-Colored Striped Bow Tie, and Black and Pink Polka Dot Bow Tie.
In the movie Just Friends, Ryan Reynolds' character was a firm believer that lunch meant that you were still in the dreaded friend zone. Well, conveniently Reynold's character was also a big-time record producer where he made a ton of mula. Where (insert overpriced college or university name here) has made you accustomed to a steady diet of ramen noodles and Miller Lite, lunch at a seated restaurant can seem like a luxury to another college/grad school-aged person. Sugar and Spice in Porter Square is just the place to impress without putting a huge dent in your wallet. Bold Asian flavors, generous portion sizes, an acceptable cocktail list, and respectable prices makes this place a great pick for someone betting their bottom dollar on an expensive second-hand chemistry book. Try out your more casual- looking bow ties at this sweet little lunch/dinner spot.
OoOTie/Knot Candy Picks: Gold with Blue, Red and Green Stripes, Sailor Shields Bow Tie, and Orange Plaid and Navy Blue Plaid Bow Tie.
Regardless of your excuses, whether your V-day protests have resulted in you sleeping on the couch, you thought Easter and/or Passover came before Valentine's Day, or you just confirmed that you had a valentine last night, it's Monday morning on February 14th and you don't have reservations. Have no fear, Piattini is here! An intimate Italian bistro in the middle of Newbury Street that caters to anyone looking to make a positive impression on their guest/s, they'll be sure to lend you a hand.
The dim lighting, array of fine wine and upscale liquor offerings, as well as the small plates that allow for sharing will earn you a gold star as a valentine. (FTW Piattini's reasonable prices will make up for the fact that you just bought a $20 boutique of wilted carnations or giant piece of chocolate that has "Happy St. Patrick's Day" imprinted on it). Pull out all stops when it comes to your bow tie collection, think dressy and chic and your valentine will hardly suspect that you put all this together in less than 24hrs.They might even laugh about the candy....well, might being the operative word.
