Jay 37,353 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Well what I propose is that I find two different restaurants, one for Friday and one for Saturday, that are both near symphony hall, able to accommodate large parties, and have a wide enough menu that people of different tastes will be able to find something they like.I just need to know how many people are interesting in going to each day to plan properly!Here's my initial stab at it based on the last page or so of discussion.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Just out of interest, are Boston restaurants pricey? I need to start calculating a budget of sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obiwan71 26 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 To be honest, I wasn't especially shocked by restaurant prices when I visited last year. I think you'll have a wide range of options like in other big cities.As for the gathering, I'm in for the Saturday meetup. I'll be arriving in Boston at 12:45 PM that day. No one else is coming.

Jay 37,353 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Walking around Faneuil Hall / Quincy Market is always nice, always something different to see, plus a wide variety of different shops.If you could go to the North End for dinner and/or dessert that's where the best food is at (assuming you like Italian)If you want to see the city, you can take a Duck Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,353 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Anywhere in the city will be expensive... You can use priceline to try to find a deal. Since I live so close I've never actually stayed in a Boston hotel so I don't really have any experience. Will you be driving down? Joe Brausam found a good hotel in Waltham, he posted about it on one of the previous pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it is literally right across the street from Symphony Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
