A gloom hung over the morning, since Jessica had to leave midday. Breakfast at a local breakfast place called the Paramount (burger and homefries for me, breakfast sandwich for Jessica) and then a walk over to Copley. Jessica bought some of the world's priciest chocolates for her sister, then we explored the library for a while. Very grand! I was glad Jessica got to see the Sargent murals. Decided to just have lunch in our neighborhood so Jessica wouldn't feel rushed, so we had a pleasant meal at a place called Toscano (burrata with stupid winter tomatoes to share, and rigatoni for me). Jessica left at around 3:30 and I walked around aimlessly for a while before catching a train to Harvard Square with the intention of hitting up HMart. The joke was on me since Hmart (despite the name) is actually in Central Square! Not a problem since I enjoy a walk, and very serendipitously it took me right by Pammy's, a place that we didn't get around to trying that was highly recommended. There was one seat at the bar, so I had a cocktail, then lumache with Bolognese and gochujang and both were excellent. Affogato for dessert and then onward in my march to Hmart. Soju acquired, I had a gorgeous walk home. Central Square is lively and interesting, and the walk along the river near MIT was particularly pretty on this spring evening.
Luckily Jessica had showed me how to work the tv; so while it isn't the same alone I watched a little and then headed to bed in the slightly eerie quiet apartment.
