I don’t keep up with the Groupons (or the Living Social deals or the Sharing Spree deals I have) so I had no idea that two of my coupons were expiring. Being the communist that I am, I have a hard time using Groupons (or other such coupons) for places I’ve already been, especially if it’s a place I like. I figure I should just use them for places I haven’t been. I made an exception for Belly because I’d never been there for dinner and I thought I could actually use the coupon on a date. Did I mention that I wen to NoHos last night and Belly tonight with my mom?<\/p>\n
The food was pretty good at NoHos, and great (as I expected from what got at lunch trips) at Belly. I’d go to both again but they’re quite different. NoHos is Hawaiian food and while I certainly have issues with Hawaiians, I can’t say I don’t Hawaiian food. Most of the things I know are quite greasy (spam musubi?) but also incredibly tasty. It was crowded but reasonable, and reminded me of all the issues I have with our 50th state. Did I mention I was engaged twice and the first time, in college, was to a Wellesley woman from Hawaii? Belly was CROWDED (get reservations or have a seat at the bar which always seemed to have spots within 10-15 minutes) but you could order the full dinner menu at the bar. (You can also order the happy hour menu anytime at the bar.).<\/p>\n
I suppose the worst for me is that I actually asked the woman I have a big crush on what she was doing this weekend and I wanted to say, ‘Hey, do you want to go to Belly with me and help me spend my Groupon?” but I diverted our conversation into some minutiae about her job and how it affected me next week. It doesn’t matter that I’ve had this crush for over a year because it isn’t supposed to be reasonable. Is anything regarding actual people supposed to make sense?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
