OT: Planning a trip to Boston

[Archive]

Posted By: Jamie

There's Kenmore Collectibles on Commonwealth Ave near Fenway, nice guys and decent stuff, mostly vintage. Best way to get around is the T. Don't park near Fenway during gametime if you have New York plates... Lowell Spinners are very popular for minor league baseball.

Agreed that Kashmir is excellent for Indian food, especially their lunch buffet. Oleana is Cambridge is phenomenal if you want an upscale meal - well worth the money.

Agreed that Club Passim is a wonderful experience. Scullers Regattabar for jazz is also excellent if you like that kind of thing. Walk through Boston Common, up Commonwealth Ave ("Comm. Ave"). Down by the waterfront you've got the aquarium. North End is great, Modern Bakery for wonderful desserts, many great North End restaurants for italian, also Neptune Oyster House.

Durgin Park is fun if you like really big slabs of meat and potatoes on the side. Oishii for fantastic sushi; the one in Chestnut Hill is less expensive.

Walk Harvard Yard, Boston Symphony is excellent. Go to Goldstar.com for half-price tickets on all sorts of shows and take a chance...

Good luck with your trip.

Yankees fan in Boston
