Return of the Midweek Hangover at Bocca Rossa

Ah, Tuesday nights. How I have come to love thee.  Why you might ask am I asking you to leave the comfort of your house and trudge out into the not always pleasant fall/ winter weather on a weekday night? What better reason than to relax with a nice bottle of wine and wash away the stress of the beginning of the week? And for half price? 


Personally I think the New England notion that  we are supposed to suffer all week long without any fun and try to squeeze in everything into a weekend that flies by in the blink of an eye is just plain obnoxious. Hence why I began my quest of locating the best midweek deals around the state. It seems to be a much more cultured and balanced way to approach life to find ways to enjoy oneself all week long! 


Regardless of my personal philosophies and rantings, Bocca Rossa is definitely the place to situate oneself on a Tuesday evening. The atmosphere is dark and sensual. House and lounge music linger in the background, and the kitchen serves accompaniments such as bruschetta, and other tasty morsels. Of course Tuesdays are not the only night to visit, here are some other nights and other reasons:

Mondays/ Wed / Fridays: Happy Hour from 4:30-6:30 pm with $3 appetizers, $5 house martinis, $10 flights of 3 wines, and $3 pints. 
Thursdays: Soulful Thursday happy hour
Saturday: House music all night long
Sunday: Closed (unfortunately)
