I know nothing about Boston and have never been there

I will be going to a Red Sox game on Sunday

newbury comics
harvard square (cheesy, i know, but i've always had a lot of fun there)
middle east

Is Fire & Ice still around? Is that even in Boston?

I'm sure Boston has a huge gay scene.

Personally, i would want to know where to eat, and what to order.

That's just me. So when i put out a thread like this, you'll know what i need.

Classic.

Fire & Ice is in Boston, but I often get sick when I eat there. Like two out of three times or something.

Harvard Square has declined (even more stuff had closed when I was just there on Tuesday) but is still fun. Bartley's is a great place to get a burger. Mmm... I want one now.

You could go to Great Scott (corner of Commonwealth and Harvard in Allston) on Saturday and potentially meet DS Bruce and others. I don't recognize any of the bands playing though (Pattern is Movement, Mason Proper, the Never).

My wife was born in Boston, and knows the city well. I think I have that part covered. But not so much on the hip places to go.

Bars I liked: Great Scott in Allston, River Gods in Cambridge, Enormous Room in Cambridge

Not been in a long time, but liked back then: Our House in Brighton, Miracle of Science in Cambridge, B-Side in Cambridge

Never went, but heard good things: The Model in Allston

So did you guys just come to this thread to obscurely make jokes about SK?

Yes, and we can add you to our shitlist if you'd like.

Oh please do, because then I'll have a better reason to be offended by your malice. Please use my imperiousness as your excuse, although it seems like you probably don't need one.

come watch a premier league match with me at a pub on saturday.

the bodyworlds exhibit at the museum of science looks cool

charlie's in harvard sq., bukowski's on boylston st is one of my favorites--great beer seletion., breakfast at renee's cafe in davis sq. is a bit of a hike but t-accessible and fucking great, the museum of fine arts is always a good bet

no wait, i've got it. . .

the harvard museums (fogg, sackler, and busch-reitzinger) are amazing and could be paired with any of the following. . . a trip to charlie's and/or shay's, newbury comics, harvard yard, the crazy guy playing that one-stringed chinese fiddle-thing in front of the bank of america, a movie at the brattle theater (bruce campbell intro-ing bubba hotep tonight and terry gilliam films rest of the weekend), a visit to (as mlle calls him) "mr. and/or mrs. cardullo") at his/her eponomously named gourmet food store, a picture of click and clack's place (the law offices of dewey, cheatham, and howe), and wrap it up with a bowl of pho at pho pasteur (recently renamed "le's"). whew.

bodyworlds is wild.

Neuroboy wins. I can't believe I forgot Charlie's and Bukowski.

I don't seem to leave JP except for work. Well and to shop. I was in Allston today. We have a few good bars/pubs in JP though and a new one that's not half bad (the Alchemist). Not half great either, but not half bad...?

Hey Velouria's having a birthday party meet-up tomorrow night in at the Model in Allston. I will be watching the Ohio St-TX game beforehand at a nearby bar.

I'm confused. Is this unrelated to the almost-identical "Bodies" exhibit in NYC?

Man, we hadn't heard that name in these parts for years (literally -- it's probably been at least 2-3). Why she no posty here anymore?

same thing

neuroboy pretty much covered everything.
