OT: Boston sucks

[Dacks]

Joking. Just wanted to get your attention.

I'm in Boston for two more nights (got in late tonight and went to the Pour house for the game - strong loonie and lower sales tax = cheap night out!). Daytime will be taken up doing touristy things. Suggestions for the evenings? Especially on a Sunday? I was hoping to get into a Red Sox game on Monday, is it hard to get tickets?

I'm staying at the Radisson on Stuart, just south of the public garden, and anything walking distance would be great!

Tricked me. Sox tickets always sell out, so give it a shot soon. Enjoy Beantown! Have some chowdah!

Suggestions for the evening? Well that depends on what you want to do. The commonwealth brewery is a cool place. I believe there's a hard rock cafe in Boston. The sawx are playing Baltimore, so there might be tickets available. Here's a link to buying tickets.

If you take the T, take the green line to kenmore square. It drops you off right around the corner from fenway. If you're lucky, Louis Tiante will be at his stand selling cuban sandwiches. The north end has some killer restaurants, as does china town. Quincy market is a pretty cool place to check out. Take a trolly tour of boston (those funny little bus looking things). You can get on and off at different stops. The aquarium is ok. The museum of science is awesome. there's the constitution, paul reveres house.

The Charles Playhouse is right around the corner on Warrenton St. See what's playing. Blue Man Group and Shear Madness are both great.

I've never seen Blue Man Group, but I've heard it's a great show. Great idea.

Blue Man Group is fucking awesome, I dont think they're in Boston right now though.

And if you can't get tickets for face value dacks, check with any Ace Ticket location, they have decent deals. Thats where I buy all of my Bruins/Sox tickets.

Your gonna love Fenway on gameday, go early... Lansdowne and Yawkey Way are shut off to cars, just a big pre game in the streets. All the bars around there are awesome. Check out Boston Beer Works across the street if you are a beer connoisseur.

Stuff near Fenway. First if your driving, park at Prudential Center, its cheaper than places right next to Fenway. Also shopping at Prudential Center and Copley Plaza (both connected) is nice, like any mall though. Newbury Street has some nice shops, but also some high end stores as well.

If you like seafood, check out any Legal Seafood location, but there is one located right inside Prudential Center.

And like Wayne said, there are tons of museums. I personally like the Museum of Fine Art, they have the 3rd largest collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts.

Hope you have a blast.

Thanks Jeff. How does a Rangers fan know so much about Boston anyway?

Beer advice would be good. I've heard New England has a nice variety independant brews. Anything specific I should try at Boston Beer Works? Other pubs you would recommend for something unique? Was also wondering if the Sam Adams brewery was worth checking out.

The advice is great guys. Sorry about your loss last night. I ran into Dan Paille's cousin in the elevator last night. He looked like he was about to trash his room lol.

Well, off to do the Freedom Trail. Probably gonna hit up legal seafood for lunch (multiple recommendations off this board as well). I'll check in here again before the evening's activities!

Dacks I guess my idea was not on the agenda eh?

Breweries are cool as hell, definitely check that out. I toured Budweiser in St. Louis with my dad when I was just a kid (before I knew about how beer could do magical things) and I thought it was fascinating. Never been to Sam Adams, but I will tell you to check it out anyway.

I know this awesome place in a back alley far away from the city, you'll have a blast... asshole.

Boston is my home away from home. As far as beer from Beer Works, the Bunker Hill Blueberry ale has a draw, they put blueberries in the glass. Kinda looks like rabbit turds, but it taste pretty good. But I am a dark beer person, their Muddy River Porter is delish, but heavy. The Irish Stout is good as well, I forget the name. They have a pretty decent list of beers, and they have seasonal ones that change all the time.

Got some real cheap tickets available...
Boston Red Sox vs Baltimore Orioles Tickets - 5/16 - AceTicket.com

Definitely get a Fenway Frank if you go to a game, they are disgustingly awesome. There are some really cool bowling places nearby if you are with the lady or some friends/family and are into that sorta thing.

Right across the street from Fenway...
Lucky Strike Lanes

House of Blues is right across the street from Fenway as well... there is a lot of fun to be had in that little area.

Agreed, the Sam Adams tour is cool, and you get to sample a shit ton of beer. The greatest thing about it is its free, well they ask for a 2.00 donation that goes to charity.

Oh, check out Harpoon brewery too if you feel like doing other brewery tours. Harpoon is damn good New England beer.
