Boston -- Classic or Dirty Water?

don't you wish you lived in cambridge

really glad i live in cambridge. even more glad i'll be living in chicago in 2 months though tbh.

As long as this thread is revived -- I'll be in Boston June 22 to 24. FAP anyone?

yeah!

oh man, i will so be there

Cool deal!

Cool, I will try to come too. Ned, you must go to Weirdo Records! It makes Twisted Village feel rather boring in comparison.

Cambridge wouldn't be caught dead relying on Boston for anything, right? Although I guess if they had a problem with their water, none of the surrounding communities would care as much, and they'd basically be on their own.

Ned!! FAP in June sounds awesome. :D

I was out of town yesterday morning so able to pick up some water easily on my way back. CAD if you're having any trouble finding bottled - I was at the Star Market on Comm Ave this morning and they have tons.

Rock -- let's maybe aim for Wednesday the 23rd as the actual FAP/dinner/whatever night! More closer to the time, of course!

Sounds good. :]

woo!

hey thanks e! i had actually been livin strong and boiling everything until today when I broke down and bought a bottle to take to class

Yeah, I wasn't boiling shit. lol lazy. They have pretty cheap gallons there so it might be worth a stop.

Revive -- so, 23rd still on for a FAP of some sort that evening?

I'm still in!

yeah!

Sounds good to me :D Where are you staying while you're in Boston Ned?

With friendly friends (as they say!). I'll be catching up with a lot of folks here and there!

Ah cool - just thinking about possible places to go unless you already have somewhere in mind?

Somewhere T-accessible, preferably. :-)

What direction are you coming from? Which line?

Me? I'd be coming from the Orange Line, but I can connect to anywhere.

Yeah you. OK - will think. Obv suggestions always welcome.

Pretty sure I'd be Orange Line as well! As for what, I've had pretty great Spanish and Ethiopian cuisine last time I was there, be happy to try something equally good!

:-D

Okay so a week from tonight and ENBB is our cruise director. Time/place locked down yet or suggested or whatever?

i don't think we ever came up with anything, unless something was decided offboard

Nothing as yet.

I say Ned takes us all out to L'Espalier.

Take him to the poetry slam at the Cantab

I say Ned takes us all out to L'Espalier.

hahahaha yes!

So ned is coming from orange line and Dan and CAD are in Somerville. If ned got to Sullivan Sq. I would happily pick him up and drive somewhere in Somerville. It's your hood Dan. What's good!?

tbh the best bet is Davis Square; it's easiest to get to for the folks without cars, relatively easy to park in for the folks with cars* and there are approximately a gazillion bars and restaurants of all different types

also Ned will likely be riding with me and mrs me unless he's off touristing somewhere without us, so he probably won't need a ride

In Davis, we could do:

Redbones - BBQ
Orleans - Americana/Pizza
Diva - Indian
Johnny D's - BBQ apparently? + music
Joshua Tree - American bar food
The Burren - Irish bar food
Sabur - Mediterranean
Rudy's - Mexican
Tu Y Yo - Mexican
Gargoyles - lol ripoff
Sagra - Italian

*massive caveat: parking directly in Davis can suck a lot but there are a bazillion side streets with parking; it's a question of circling/timing, plus since it's a "walkable" neighborhood ppl tend not to drive there anyway

(btw CAD where'd you move????)

dan i am on c0nwell st. off highland 10-12 minutes from davis walking

can i also say i ride hard for highland kitchen?

i can make Davis, i'd just have to take the orange to red line

As the visiting SoCal person, taking me to Mexican food anywhere other than a bordering state is a recipe for potential disaster and/or endless critiques. So I vote other locations than those! Beyond that, up for anything, and while I am going to be busy during the day I should be back to get a ride with HI DERE as mentioned.

drivers wld be welcome to one of my guest passes--u can park near my place and we can walk down to davis

hahaha i really love rudy's but it would make a socal person cry/ball their fists with rage tbh

other massive caveat: Somerville has city-wide permit parking, meaning you need a residential permit to park on most of the streets

area immediately around davis is well-metered yo

ah okay, I'm probably... 15-20 minutes away from you walking? on T3mple on the other side of Broadway

I have not yet eaten at Highland Kitchen but the menu looks great

hahaha i really love rudy's but it would make a socal person cry/ball their fists with rage tbh

tbh this is kind of why I want to take Ned there, also they have jalapeno margaritas

xp: ty CAD for taking words out of my mouth re: meters

et tu raggett?? the lakers are still busting their asses for YOU

true, but then you go back to massive caveat #1

tbh this is kind of why I want to take Ned there, also they have jalapeno margaritas

You know, I've never actually USED the term 'smh' before...

et tu raggett?? the lakers are still busting their asses for YOU

I'm sorry, I'm currently watching a bunch of Uruguayans party on TV.

xxxp oh, ok! i think i've cut through on yr street to get to 93. we could stage a fap convenient for us at, uh, olde magoun's saloon.

my bf lives down the street from the highland kitchen and loves it but that would be a bit tough to get to for those without cars, no?

Out of the ones in Davis I've only been to Diva and Orleans but am willing to tr anywhere that's at least somewhat veggie friendly.

xp that should say only us

yeah it's a bit of a hike i would happily run shuttle from davis but we can also pick something more central.

also you raise a good point in that highland kitchen is not particularly good for veg

Though Tremendoid, assuming the Lakers win, I will proceed to trash talk the entire time I'm visiting, even though this will mean I'll be brutally killed by having a bunch of Dunkin' Donuts forced down my throat. I hope you're happy.

another option would be East Coast Grill in Inman with their Martini From Hell (made with scotch bonnet-infused Absolut)

the last time I was there, our server wouldn't let me order it ;_; but I did get a shot of the vodka ^_^ and it was WAU HOT O_O

yes I often pick restaurants based on stupid things they do with spicy alcohol, why do you ask
