The last step of marathon prep? A hearty serving of carbs, of course. Liquid Art House offers an energy boost to runners and spectators with a weekend of pasta from Friday, April 15th through Sunday, April 17th. During dinner service Friday and Saturday (starting at 5:00pm) and brunch Saturday and Sunday (11:00am-3:00pm), the chefs will be plating spaghetti, ravioli, fettucini and more to help guests fuel up before the big day. The plates are available as half portions for $12 or full for $22 (see the carbo-load lineup below). Post-race, marathoners can stop by after 5:00pm on Monday, April 18th with their bib or medal for a free drink on the house. Call 617.457.8130 for more info.
