Pre-Celtics noshing - The Harp, an old standby

So the other night we wanted something simple to eat with our cocktails before the Celtics game. We haven't been to the Harp in a long time. (Well, I went there with the 'girls' as stop #1 on a pub crawl, but that's another story) Rolfe has been pining for the Harp's boneless Buffalo wings. "They are the best ever". Guess what, they don't have boneless anymore, just on the bone. Real wings. So we sit at the bar, get a couple of drinks and glance at the menu. You know, I haven't looked at their menu in a while. They've gone 'upscale'. Blue corn nachos? Goat cheese and pesto? What happened to the old standby??? We started with the blue corn and pulled pork nachos. They were 'okay' could have used more cheese - that is always my biggest complaint with nachos, although these were layered okay. Nothing worse than a clump of stuff on the top layer and a bunch of naked, greasy chips underneath. These were somewhere in the middle. We split the chicken and pesto Panini with sweat potato fries. The sandwich and fries were delicious. Wished we weren't splitting, I wanted my own.
Anyway - we'll be back before the next game. It's close to the Garden, the beer is cold and there are lots of other items on the menu I want to try.
