Got up and just had a small breakfast nearby, at Blank Street Coffee (breakfast sandwiches, very sweet cherry sold brew). Then caught the red line to Harvard Square to see the glass flowers at the Harvard Museum of Natural History. Very cool, but I grew bored quickly and looked at rocks instead. I demanded lunch at Madras Dosa Harvard Square (spicy potato and paneer & pani puri) and happily it was as good as I remembered. We tried Blackbird Donuts for dessert but they were only OK. Maybe because it was just a little satellite location? Then home to rest (we built in more down time for today), watch TV and plot where to have dinner. Finally settled on Yvonne's, as it is close enough to walk to, VERY pretty, and had a lot of things on the menu that appealed.

| The prettiest tater tots ever |
The so-so: they are known for cocktails and I didn't love mine. Come on, gin, maraschino, rosemary and flaming chartreuse? It sounded so fun but I wasn't blown away. Also, we felt super rushed as we were out of there in 45 minutes! It was almost disorienting.
The good: the space is really stunning, and of the 5 things we ordered I loved 3 and liked the other two:
Crispy Tater Cubes, joppiesaus, farmhouse gouda, beet pickled egg (so good!)
Berber Lentil Fritters; sweet pepper cheese, manchego, spicy pickled carrots
