The Ice Bar cometh!

After enduring the hottest day in Boston on record, it was refreshing to hear that currently an Ice Bar is being built at Faneuil Hall! These types of bars originated in Scandinavia and are kept at a constant 21 degrees Fahrenheit because everything in it is made up of ice (bars, chairs, tables and all) - 50 tons of ice to be exact. It is going to be the world's largest ice bar. It is supposed to open next month so if there's a heat wave then  I guess we can all rush off to have an ice cap there. The idea of an Ice Bar would have seemed even more impressive to me if they could just have decided to have it open to the public today. Oh well, it's something to look forward to anyway.
