Mom & Daughter Night Out: Oysters and Burgers in Harvard Square
Sometimes, especially in the summer, you need to divide and conquer. Tonight the boys stayed in and ate farm fresh veggies. The girls went out on the town. Originally, we planned to get $1 oysters at Noir in the Charles hotel (as mentioned on their Facebook Page) but it turned out that there was a…
