All the walking we did yesterday worked up quite an appetite. Saturday nights in Stockholm are quite busy, and at Sarah's advisement, we made a reservation at a wonderful little Swedish restaurang called Entre, located at 78 Folkungagatan, a little south of Stockholm center.
It was a quiet and pleasant place. It had hardwood floors and very dim lights. Candles on the table. Sarah and Rachel ordered fish and I had a cut of steak, which was perfectly cooked. After dinner, we went to a bar called Mest Bar & Kok. I ordered a couple pints of Swedish lager and the girls had some mixed drinks before we went back to the hotel and called it a night after a very long, but very productive day.
One other highlight from yesterday:
-Sarah had said she'd found a “sports bar” for me to watch the Red Sox game tonight (daytime for you folks back in New England). She didn't realize just how much she struck gold. We stopped by O'Leary's, which in its tagline (as you can see from their website here) describes themselves as an authentic “Boston-American sports bar.” We walked inside to find banners of the Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics and Patriots. Autographed pictures of Boston legends like Larry Bird hung on the walls. We're pretty sure that if one establishment in Stockholm will show the game, it'll be this place, where the owner is from Nantucket.
Today, Sarah's host family plan to cook us a homemade Swedish dinner, so we look forward to that very much. After the dinner, we'll head over to O'Leary's to hopefully watch Big Schill finish out the ALDS in Boston's favor.
