Dinner at the Hare Pub

Dann and I were out in the evening playing Pokemon Go and wanted to go out for dinner afterwards instead of getting groceries and making something! We decided to stop at The Hare Pub, which is a part of the McMullen pub chain. They run events like a weekly pub quiz and poker night, bringing some extra excitement into the venue. They also have a separate billiards area, lots of outdoor seating, and indoor dinning. We opted to eat inside as it was getting a little dark and late outside for us. When we went, they had both their standard menu and a smaller selection of Chef Recommendations as well, which worked as specials.

Exploring the Musée Mécanique which has antique arcade machines

We’ve been to a few different arcades that feel part arcade and part museum, but we always go to the Musee Mecanique, which is a personal collection of more than 300 different items. They have coin operated pianos, pinball machines, slot machines, little peep shows, puppets, love tests and so much more. Many of them are very old machines, some of which you can only find at the venue.

Lunch at CoHo Harlow

We drive by CoHo in Harlow often. It looks very similar in name and font to a French food chain, so we hadn’t taken the time to stop there, but this time we took the chance. On Saturday, it’s required that you pre-book, as they are super busy, so we went first thing on Sunday for lunch before heading out on a trip out of the country. The place is pretty simple and elegant in decoration – there are white tablecloths, menus clearly printed for that specific day, the staff is really attentive. It’s a very expensive feeling place to eat. CoHo is right on the river, and we even saw some swans swimming there before we entered.

Seeing the Historical Doumo

Dann is one of those people that really enjoy historical sites, so when the option to go inside the Doumo came up, he was excited and wanted to see it. As someone who’s not a huge fan of religion, I wasn’t as bothered about going inside, personally. It’s worth noting that you need to dress modestly to go inside the Doumo, which means your knees need to be covered and you cannot wear straps or low-necked items. As a warning, there are also a lot of scam sites out there that can try to trick you into purchasing tickets there, so make sure you are using the official site.
