Out and about on a Tuesday?!

I think weekday outings are highly under rated. Going out on the weekends is a fun time and can be exciting, but going out when no one else is out brings a great sense of closeness and excitement I think. With that being said I had quite the evening tonight. Tuesday night happenings will hopefully become a thing!

 I went to go see X-Men: Days of Future Past , and I have to say that I kind of enjoyed it. This was the first ever X-Men movie that I have ever gone to see as well as the only X-Men movie that I have watched in it's entirety, which led to me having a lot of questions, but luckily I had an expert on all things with me and was able to help me through the movie so I wasn't too lost. It is definitely an adventure going to the movies with me because I can say that it is not for the faint of heart. I ask a lot of questions, talk way too much and get way to emotionally invested to the point that I am holding on to the seat for dear life during the climaxes of movies. I'm not the biggest movie goer just because I get a little freaked out when there are too many people in a theater and anxiety sets in, but going on a Tuesday in the early afternoon, is the perfect situation. Not to mention that at my local theater Tuesday Nights are senior discount nights so I got to be with my people (I'm really and old lady a heart not as young and hip as I may seem). Back to the movie however it was good, it seemed kind of long but I think that's because I didn't really know what was going on for a little while, I enjoyed the way the story progressed and getting to see the character development in terms of how they were when they were younger as opposed to how they were when they were older. I don't want to give anything away but I was very happy with the end of the movie and of course we stayed until the very end of the credits because it is a Marvel movie after all and part of the fun of going to see a Marvel movie is the teaser at the end of it.

 Tuesday's are for private screenings only (obviously)

 Sit back, relax and enjoy the show!


After the movie it was time for dinner and it seemed like the perfect night to try some place new. Obviously Tuesday's are the it day for adventuring! There is a new restaurant that has opened in the area Mazzo and it was definitely a treat. There are a lot of Italian restaurants in the area so there is no shortage if you are in the mood for Italian but I would say that Mazzo is a nice change of pace. The menu is typical of most Italian restaurants but one of the things that I loved was that they serve all their drinks in wine glasses! I am a sucker for a drink in a wine glass and the fact that I got to use them in public literally made my night. (It's the little things.) The wait staff was very friendly and pretty attentive the owner also came around and checked on us, but the only thing however was that he wasn't very forward when introducing himself, he just kind of said "How's everything?" and then walked away. The food was good which is nice for a newer restaurant because I feel like the food at newer establishments can be really hit or miss, because they are either good because it's new or it's bad because it's new and they have no idea what they are doing, so let's hope that they keep up the good work. I think Mazzo will do well despite that it's kind of  in an obscure place but there is definitely a lot of traffic in the area and hopefully that pays of! I think we'll being going back soon maybe to try some of the pizza's they have, I know I was eying the Filet Mignon pizza (two of my favorite things combined in one!)

 I love an etched glass!

 Meatballs in a fresh tomato sauce (absolutely fabulous)

 Roasted Beets and Fennel Salad (perfect summer side salad)

 Penne Alla Vodka with Shrimp (Always a favorite dish of mine)

Lobster Ravioli (for my dinner companion)


What would your perfect Tuesday night be like? I think mine would most definitely include Pretty Little Liars which is back in 14 days and I am fan girling so hard!
