Boston -- Classic or Dirty Water?

Seriously though, I'll go to Worcester just so I don't have to stand outside in late November in New England for fuck's sake. Oh well. I'll still come, I'll just complain a lot. I hope you like whining!!!

I would suggest The Pour House but it's always packed. There's also a Good Life back in the Financial District somewhere but I can never remember where it is. Oh, and there's another pub-type place that is around the corner from Jose McIntyre's (I will never ever EVER take anyone to Jose Macs so don't even ask about it) which doesn't lend itself to seating a large party but is pretty cheap from what I remember. Apparently celebrities show up at The Rack a lot, so if people want to go chuckle at Yuppie Hell I'd suggest there.

I think a place we might be able to dance would be good but nothing too expensive...

yes -the roads are set up bad and the subway shuts down at 1am. Correct.
But….
THE REST OF YOUR POST READS LIKE A DUMB MOTHERFooCKER REDNECK
Newbury vs KIMS??? What?huh? - Newbury the only place to shop in boston? Um, yeah if you are a stupid a;s tourist with no clue ..oh wait…
Please.
This place is fookin indy bookstore, record store, café heaven. (nyc record shops are more picked thru than boston btw…for the most part)
Also: film archives, weekly kung fu filmings on weds night at allston….moody street in waltham has over 100 different ethnic restaurants.
Middle east nightclub drops the fffing abomb on any DC club. What do you have? The 930club or some something? Tt the bears, the attic, the paradise . and so on and so forth.
And yes, boston is no NYC. Correct. Bloody fffing brilliant. The world isnt flat either. Bears sh*t in the woods aslo.
Sorry but your post was mucho dense…

Boston 0, Rest of the World 1.

The real golden stretch is Mass Ave in Cambridge between Central Square and Harvard Square, at least as far as used record store searching goes.

Thanks, Dan.

Also I would like to revise my prior post:

BOSNOT U HAVE NO CHANCE

EAT DICK FAGTOGS

Also, this isn't true. I've been to four clubs in DC and at least two of them were better than the Middle East. Of course being as we're discussing personal preferences in barhopping and shopping, IT'S ALL PRETTY GODDAMN SUBJECTIVE INNIT. The Middle East is one of the most overrated places I've ever been! Dan Perry OTM about how a lot of these things entirely depend on your mood at that exact moment; the apparent-spirograph-cobblestone-road-system in Boston tends to put me in a mood to hate every single store I've ever set foot in there, for example.

FWIW, Kim's puts me into fits as well. Tourist. Trap. For. Hipsters. But then again I hate indie record stores to begin with so your like supposed indie record store mecca isn't really a pulling point for me to decide to suddenly like Boston, kephm.

yeah, true that. like life itself. yes , it is confusing as hell to get around. I still get confused sometimes when in a car...
ive seen hundreds of good shows at the middle east. its sort of a dive, but some of us don't mind.

i was responding to tombot. he doesnt know what he is talking about.

goto Berks shoes in harvrd square to escape the indyfication

oonas is a good vintage(clothing) shop outside of hrvrd square...

Also, PHO PASTEUR! (Avoid the evil one in the Theatre District with the radically overpriced menu, though.)

My worst experience in Boston was trying to get to...the Sheraton? I think? My sister was staying there. We could see it but could find no conceivable way via roads, even using our Mapquest directions and a huge atlas map, to actually GET to the Sheraton. It appeared to be dead center in a labrynth. It would've been easier to get out of the car and just walk two miles or whatever to get to it. It was insane! I was certain it was a magic trick?

xpost: ts: "you don't know what you're talking about" vs "you have different expectations for a city than I do". The hysterical "stupid tourists!" approach is just kind of proving the Bostonites as bitter, chip on shoulder defensive assholes stereotype right which is unfortunate.

You guys should go to Bartley's Burger Cottage!!!! (if it's still as awesome as I remember)

Or Harvard Donut in Central Square)?? BEST FUCKIN MUFFINS EVER

It's not my thing; I expected different from what I received and wasn't entirely into the crowd there. Diviness or not had nothing to do with it.

I haven't been to Bartley's in years, but DAMN their burgers rock. Also, ANNA'S TAQUERIA!

you peeps jsut need to follow around geeta. (from her post way upthread) she knows her stuff.

So anyway when we all come to Boston you guys can all chauffer us touristas around and show us all the cool shit while I stand there disgusted by the fact that you boys's idea of "cool shit" is not "shoe store" and then we'll go to good restaurant and then we will get plastered then we will retire to my hotel room and then set fire to the curtains?

"Also, dim sum at Chow Chow city is U+K."

(Berk's in Harvard Square is an excellent shoe store, by the by.)
