If you're ever in Harvard Square in Cambridge, you should do what me and my friend Mariah did last night:
1. Go to Burdicks on Brattle Street and pick up some chocolate. It can be expensive, but they've recently been selling seconds, which are chocolates that are about 2 weeks old, so they're not sold at full price. Of course, fresh chocolate is the best, but Burdick's seconds are still excellent and absolutely delightful, and the fact that you can buy $20 worth of chocolate for about $5 makes it super worth it.
2. Ok, so you've got the chocolates. Then go over to Cafe Paradiso (on Eliot St) to get some gelato ice cream. Mariah and I ordered their passionfruit gelato, which was utterly to die for, and then we used it as a palette cleanser as we tasted each of the Burdicks chocolates.
It was quite the evening. Ice cream and chocolate for dinner!
